Ellroy Reads – LA Confidential: The Screenplay

Many viewers have been waiting for this episode of Ellroy Reads. Our text this week is LA Confidential: The Screenplay by Brian Helgeland and Curtis Hanson. I use the screenplay as a conduit to explore Ellroy’s changing opinion of the film over the years, and give some behind the scenes stories about the making of the movie. These stories haven’t been shared before and some of them are hair-raising. If you are the type who worships Hollywood celebrities then I should probably add a trigger-warning!

The video cut-off right at the end so I have uploaded this episode in two parts. The latter part is mostly the tail-end of the episode.
