David Koepp
Is he the Ernest Lehman of our time?
He certainly must’ve thought about it while writing all those movies for Brian De Palma.
I can’t think of anyone who has a similar number of hits under his belt.
Take a gander at this list:
Death Becomes Her
Jurassic Park
Carlito’s Way
The Paper
The Shadow
Mission:Impossible
The Trigger Effect
The Lost World: Jurassic Park II
Snake Eyes
Stir of Echoes
Panic Room
Spider-Man
Secret Window
War of the Worlds
Zathura
Indiana Jones IV
And from Ernest Lehman:
Sabrina
The King and I
Somebody Up There Likes Me
The Sweet Smell of Success
North by Northwest
West Side Story
The Sound of Music
Who’s Afraid of Virginia Woolf?
Hello, Dolly
Portnoy’s Complaint
Family Plot
Black Sunday
Whew! It’s enough to inspire someone to believe that it’s worthwhile being a Hollywood screenwriter.
