This is the stunning, visual companion to Steven Spielberg’s epic adventure about a young man and his horse and their separate journeys through the battlefields of the First World War. One of the great stories of friendship and war, the successful novel WAR HORSE not only inspired the award-winning stage play, but also inspired one of the great directors in film history to commit his talent, vision, and resources to make this extraordinary movie.
Additional forewords by producer Kathleen Kennedy, novelist Michael Morpurgo, and co-screenwriter Richard Curtis reveal their feelings about the story and the process of moving it from page to screen.
This beautiful book is a testament to what can be done when people become impassioned about a goal. As producer Kathleen Kennedy expresses in her foreword: “WAR HORSE was one of those unusual productions that comes together in an incredibly short time, and for all the right reasons. Everyone involved understood the film’s potential, the richness of the characters, the depth of emotion, and the strength of the story’s message.”
