Press Release: Green Ronin to Release Cinema & Sorcery

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

GREEN RONIN TO RELEASE CINEMA & SORCERY

The Comprehensive Guide to Fantasy Film in Stores This June

May 9, 2016–SEATTLE, WA: Green Ronin Publishing announced today that Cinema & Sorcery: The Comprehensive Guide to Fantasy Film is at print and will be in stores in June. The book, by authors Arnold T. Blumberg and Scott Alan Woodard, features a full chapter on each of 50 sword and sorcery movies, from The Thief of Baghdad to The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey. It then provides shorter write-ups of over 400 additional fantasy films!

“Cinema & Sorcery has been five years in the making and we think it shows,” said Green Ronin President Chris Pramas. “Arnold and Scott researched every aspect of these films and the result is something special.”

The main entries include behind the scenes stories and notes on the critical reception of each production, so readers can understand how these films got made and what sort of impact they had. The entries also discuss gameable elements and include an overview on what was happening in gaming during each movie’s year of release. “These films were such an inspiration to gamers and we are, of course, a game publishing company,” said Pramas, “so we wanted to highlight the connections between our two industries.”

The Cinema & Sorcery e-book is available now. Those who pre-order the print book from https://greenronin.com/S1S9K can get the e-book (in epub, mobi, and PDF formats) for only $5. The print edition is at press now and will be in stores in June.
