Scriptchat is thrilled to have Ryne Douglas Pearson, screenwriter of KNOWING, guest on our USA chat next week, July 31, 2011.
Ryne @rynedp is an accomplished novelist and screenwriter. He is
the author of several novels, including Cloudburst, October's Ghost, Capitol Punishment, Simple Simon, Top Ten, The Donzerly Light, All For One, and Confessions.
He is also the author of the short story collection, Dark and
Darker. His novel Simple Simon was made into the
film Mercury Rising.
As a screenwriter he has worked on numerous movies. The film Knowing,
based on his original script, was released in 2009 and opened #1 at the box
office. Receiving Four Stars from Roger Ebert, who branded it ‘among the best
science-fiction films I’ve seen’, it went on to earn more than $180 million
worldwide.
He has also done uncredited work on films such as the remakes of The
Day The Earth Stood Still and The Eye, and is a
member of Writers Guild of
America-West, Science Fiction
& Fantasy Writers Of America and International
Thriller Writers.
Despite
the often ‘dark’ nature of his novels and films, Pearson has been noted to have
a ‘sweet, disarming quality’ by Entertainment Weekly–an accusation he has been
unable to shake.
When
not writing he is usually thinking about writing, or touting the wonders of
bacon in online conversations. He is addicted to diet soda and the sound of his
children laughing. A west coast native, he lives in California with his wife,
children, a Doberman Shepherd and a Beagle Vizsla.
Find his books at Amazon Barnes & Noble Apple iBooks
