Nice Guy Johnny: Amazon Brings Burns’ Screenplay to Kindle

By Kindle Nation’s Intern Staff

Our editor Steve Windwalker has written on Kindle Nation before about the pleasures of seeing a great movie, then going home to read the shooting script on Kindle.

Now Amazon and screenwriter Edward Burns have collaborated to make available the screenplay of Burns’ Nice Guy Johnny

The film version of Nice Guy Johnny was released last week on DVD, and is not yet available for video replay on a future multimedia Kindle, but Kindle Nation citizens do have the option of reading the screenplay on their Kindles for less than the price of movie ticket. The e-book edition will be exclusive to the Kindle store for a year, and has been introduced at a price of $7.99.

Here’s the set-up:

Sure, she can be a little overbearing sometimes, but baby-faced Johnny Rizzo loves his fiancée Claire, and he made her a promise: by the time he’s 25-years-old, he’ll trade his current dream job as a local sports talk radio host (even if it is the 2 a.m. slot) for something that’ll pay bigger bucks. And Johnny’s nothing, if not a man of his word.

Now he’s flying to New York to interview for some snoozeville job that Claire’s well-to-do father set up. Enter Uncle Terry, who lives in New York, a rascally womanizer bent on turning a day in the Hamptons into a final fling for his nephew. Nice guy Johnny’s not interested, of course, but then he meets the lovely Brooke….


 “We’re excited that Edward Burns has chosen Kindle as the way to make his screenplay of Nice Guy Johnny available electronically for readers and film buffs,” said Russ Grandinetti, Vice President of Kindle Content.

“Kindle is a great way for screenwriters to make their screenplays available for fans quickly, so that they can read it along with the film’s release,” said Edward Burns. “I’m excited to help fans discover my latest screenplay by making it easily available on Kindle.”

Burns, who appears in the film along with Kerry Bishe, Matt Bush, Anne Wood and Max Baker, also collaborated with The Wire creator David Simon on The Corner.
