Wesley Strick
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Wesley Strick is an American screenwriter. He specializes in thrillers. He has written such films as the comic-horror hit Arachnophobia, the Martin Scorsese remake of Cape Fear and the videogame adaptation Doom.
Strick is a graduate of U.C. Berkeley, where he studied creative writing with the poet Thom Gunn. Prior to his Hollywood career, he worked as a rock journalist in New York City, contributing features and reviews to Circus, Creem and Rolling Stone.
He was one of many writers to contribute to the famously unproduced Superman Lives. As a "script doctor" he has done production polishes on such films as Batman Returns, Face/Off and Mission: Impossible II.
Strick won a 1994 Saturn Award (with co-writer Jim Harrison) for his screenplay for the Mike Nichols film Wolf.
His first novel, Out There in the Dark, was published in February 2006.
