Bring It On


Book Description

Featuring dozens of interviews with the cast and crew, fans of the franchise, film scholars, former and current cheerleaders, fellow filmmakers, and more. Gabrielle Union, Kirsten Dunst, and Eliza Dushku have all risen to fame since their performances in the original cheer classic, but boldface names like Solange Knowles, Rihanna, Hayden Panetierre, Ashley Tisdale, and more also appeared in Bring It On films. The first-time director who helmed the movie, Peyton Reed, now has multiple Marvel smash hit films under his belt. Not bad for a movie that almost didn't get greenlit in the first place—but went on to win the box office its opening weekend, gross more than $90.45 million worldwide, and spawn a half-dozen sequels, a Tony-nominated musical, and a whole new genre of female-led films. With the support of the filmmakers and producers, author and pop culture expert Kase Wickman accessed Universal's archives and conducted new interviews with cast, crew, and more for a full reveal of all the stories fans will love in this complete history and examination of the legacy of the greatest cheerleading movie almost never made. Beyond its 20th anniversary, the legacy of Bring It On endures. It's time we all understood how it changed, like, everything.

Sample Book Insights: #1 I had escaped my small town and cornfield notoriety, and was now free to live an authentic gay life in a gorgeous big city. I had become a hairdresser, and was meeting with a magazine about my web series. I was shocked when a woman called me a faggot. #2 I had been going about my life, just business as usual, when the show came out. People stopped me everywhere I went, and I was shocked by how often they were vulnerable about the show changing their lives. #3 I have learned that life is not neatly packaged up into easily understood boxes. Joy can live beside sorrow. Life is messy, unpredictable, and seldom tied into neat little boxes. #4 I want to be vulnerable with people who deserve it, and I believe that everyone reading this has earned my honesty. I want to help myself heal and remove the shame that I’ve experienced, in the hopes that this will help others heal as well.

Summary of Gabrielle Union's We're Going to Need More Wine


Book Description

Please note: This is a companion version & not the original book. Sample Book Insights: #1 I was constantly on the lookout for the Black Pitfalls. What would make me appear blacker. I only ate chicken with a knife and fork, and never in front of white people. I didn’t want to be seen as a potential threat. #2 I had to excel just to be seen as existing, and this was a lesson passed down from generation to generation. I was always chasing, always worrying about being exposed as the dumb black kid. #3 I was the only person to get in trouble for this conversation, and it came from Tarsha. I was not mad at her, but I was aware that I had done the wrong thing. I was afraid to take the risk of being black by standing next to her. #4 I was also very popular, and I used my popularity to get other people to do things for me. I would read the Tri-Valley Herald and the Valley Times, and I would read the Oakland Tribune in first period.
