A new book shows more than 200 images shot over 12 years from the production of Texas director Richard Linklater's critically-acclaimed movie, "Boyhood."

"Boyhood: Twelve Years On Film," published by the University of Texas Press, contains photos — in color and black-and-white — from Austin-based photographer Matt Lankes and commentary from the director and the film's actors Ellar Coltrane, Ethan Hawke, Patricia Arquette and Lorelei Linklater.

"Unlike the film, which embodies the passing of time, Matt Lankes' stills and portraits capture something very different—single moments suspended in time," Richard Linklater wrote in the foreword, according to a news release.

"Boyhood" was released July 11 to nearly unanimous critical acclaim — garnering a 99 percent "Fresh" rating on the film and television review aggregator website Rotten Tomatoes — and a $23.9 million gross.

Linklater has begun filming his next project, "That's What I'm Talking About," which has been described as a spiritual sequel to the director's 1993 cult hit, "Dazed and Confused."
