John Sayles: The Script Doctor
John Sayles, who visits Monday, is best known as an independent filmmaker, but he also happens to be one of Hollywood's most sought-after script doctors, renowned for his ability to make characters come alive with just a few lines of dialogue.
Much of his script work is uncredited, especially if he decides he doesn't like the project. Films he has worked on include The Fugitive, Apollo 13, Mimic, The Quick and the Dead, Piranha 3-D, and The Spiderwick Chronicles.
In 2004, Sayles was asked to do a rewrite of the as yet unreleased Jurassic Park IV.
Picture: The Spiderwick Chronicles.
