There is something so rewarding about seeing your chosen profession on the big screen, which is why we are always so thrilled when there are movies with a publishing theme in them. That beings said, we have to consider that there is always a little “Hollywood Magic” added to these films, making them perhaps less than accurate to our day to day lives. Either way they are endlessly entertaining to watch, dissect and enjoy!

 The Hoax A true story centered a man selling a fake biography of Howard Hughes to one of the biggest publishing houses in the world. It tells the tale of the media that surrounded it and the missteps that uncovered the lie.

 

Bridget Jones’ Diary: Oh Bridget, life is more than being in the office to fanny around with the press release, which is what she does at the start of the movie working in publicity at  a publishing house.

The Devil Wears Prada: Though it’s not about book publishing, this movie is set in the high glamour world of magazine publishing, and pulls back the curtain on what goes on between the glossy pages.

 

Stranger Than Fiction: One of Will Ferrell’s more serious turn, this movie revolves a man who can hear the narration of his life as if it’s a novel.

 

The Proposal: When a Canadian-born publishing executive gets threatened with deportation from her US company, obviously she bribes her assistant in a fake marriage. And hilarity ensues…

Elf: Though most of this Christmas themed movie is about Buddy the Elf and his adventures, his would-be dad  Walter is an editor at children’s book publisher.

The Ghost Writer: Directed by Roman Polanski this thriller focuses on a young ghost writer hired to help a former Prime Minister complete his memoirs. What he discovers in the process throws his life into disarray and danger.
