Film industry figures share travel tales in new book5 Oct 2011

 

Travellers with a passion for movies might be interested in a book being launched this month which brings together travel stories from a selection of well-known figures from the film world.

 

Lonely Planet's Lights, Camera Travel! features personal, funny, embarrassing and inspiring tales from famous actors, directors, writers, producers and more.

 

Alec Baldwin, Richard E Grant and Sandra Bernhard are among the contributors to the book, along with Lakeview Terrace director Neil LaBute and Poseidon star Josh Lucas.

 

The new release is edited by Andrew McCarthy, a contributing editor at National Geographic Traveler, and Don George, who has overseen five previous Lonely Planet literary anthologies.

 

In their introduction, the pair state: "The premise behind this anthology is simple: since the ancient Greeks, actors have been society's storytellers.

 

'And ever since Hollywood first left the backlot, these storytellers have been travelling to far-flung corners of the world to tell those tales.'

 

Other recent releases for Lonely Planet include a guide to Australia's east coast that encourages food lovers to check out some of the cuisine on offer in New South Wales.
