JEFF NATHANSON (Story by) has two previous collaborations with Steven Spielberg, ”The Terminal” and ”Catch Me If You Can,” for which he earned a BAFTA Award nomination for Best Original Screenplay. In 2007, his production company, Invisible Ink Entertainment, signed a first-look deal at DreamWorks SKG.
His other recent film credits include ”Rush Hour 3,” ”The Last Shot,” which he also directed, and “Rush Hour 2.” He is currently writing the biopic “Milli Vanilli” for producer Kathleen Kennedy.
Nathanson graduated from the University of California at Los Angeles before entering the American Film Institute's screenwriting program in 1989. He lives in Los Angeles with his wife and three children.
“Raiders of the Lost Ark” marked the beginning of FRANK MARSHALL’s (Producer) epochal collaboration with Steven Spielberg, George Lucas and Kathleen Kennedy, a partnership that encompasses “Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom,” “Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade” and, now, “Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull.”
With over 50 films to his credit, as a visionary producer who has helped shape American film, Marshall is also an acclaimed director and active participant in public service and sports. Marshall’s credits as a producer include some of the most successful and enduring films of all time, including “Poltergeist,” “Gremlins,” “The Goonies,” “The Color Purple,” “An American Tail,” “Empire of the Sun,” “Who Framed Roger Rabbit,” “The Land Before Time,” the “Back to the Future” trilogy, “The Sixth Sense,” “Seabiscuit” and the recent “Bourne” trilogy.
His films have been nominated for a multitude of Academy Awards®, including Best Picture nominees “Raiders of the Lost Ark” in 1982; “The Color Purple” in 1985 (which he produced with Spielberg, Quincy Jones and his wife Kathleen Kennedy); M. Night Shyamalan’s 1999 box office smash “The Sixth Sense”; and the critically acclaimed “Seabiscuit.”
As a director, Marshall recently helmed the critically acclaimed box office smash “Eight Below,” as well as the thriller “Arachnophobia,” the compelling true-life drama “Alive,” the 1995 hit adventure “Congo” and an episode of the Emmy Award-winning HBO miniseries “From the Earth to the Moon.”
Marshall began his motion picture career as assistant to Peter Bogdanovich on the director’s cult classic “Targets.” He was then asked by Bogdanovich to serve as location manager for “The Last Picture Show” and “What’s Up, Doc?” before graduating to associate producer on the filmmaker’s next five movies, which included “Paper Moon” and “Nickelodeon.”
Marshall was line producer on Martin Scorsese’s “The Last Waltz,” the heralded musical documentary on The Band. He then began a two-film association with director Walter Hill, first as associate producer on “The Driver,” then as executive producer on “The Warriors,” both of which have also attained cult status among cineastes. Marshall was also line producer of Orson Welles’ legendary unfinished film “The Other Side of the Wind,” to which he periodically returned from 1971 through 1976.
His lengthy and fruitful collaboration with Spielberg and Kennedy began in 1981 with “Raiders of the Lost Ark.” Following the productions of “E.T.: the Extra-Terrestrial” (for which he was production supervisor) and “Poltergeist” in 1981, the trio formed industry powerhouse Amblin Entertainment. During his tenure at Amblin, Marshall produced such films as Kevin Reynolds’ “Fandango,” Barry Levinson’s “Young Sherlock Holmes,” Joe Dante’s “Gremlins,” Robert Zemeckis’s “Back to the Future” trilogy and “Who Framed Roger Rabbit” and Spielberg’s “Always,” “Hook” and “Empire of the Sun,” as well as his own directorial debut, “Arachnophobia.”
Marshall left Amblin in the fall of 1991 to pursue his directing career, and formed the Kennedy/Marshall Company with Kathleen Kennedy. The company’s productions include such diverse films as “The Indian in the Cupboard,” directed by Frank Oz; “The Spiderwick Chronicles,” based on the popular series of children’s book about the unseen world of magical creatures that exist all around us; “Snow Falling on Cedars,” directed by Scott Hicks; “A Map of the World” starring Sigourney Weaver and Julianne Moore; “The Sixth Sense” starring Bruce Willis and Haley Joel Osment; “Olympic Glory,” the first official large format film of the Olympic Games; Shyamalan’s “Signs”; “Seabiscuit,” the dramatic true story based on Laura Hillenbrand’s best-selling book, directed by Gary Ross; and the three blockbuster films in the “Bourne” franchise starring Matt Damon in the title role — “The Bourne Identity” directed by Doug Liman, “The Bourne Supremacy” and last year’s “The Bourne Ultimatum,” both directed by Paul Greengrass; “The Diving Bell and the Butterfly,” an adaptation of Jean-Dominique Bauby’s moving memoir, directed by critically-acclaimed artist and filmmaker Julian Schnabel and written by Oscar®-winner Ronald Harwood, for which Schnabel was awarded the prize for best director at this year’s Cannes Film Festival and an Oscar® nomination for best director, which was among four nominations the film received; the English-language version of the French animated film “Persepolis,” which is based on Marjane Satrapi’s autobiographical graphic novel about a young girl growing up during the Iranian Revolution, which tied for this year’s Jury Prize at Cannes and picked up an Oscar® nomination for Best Animated Feature Film; and “Crossing Over,” directed by Wayne Kramer. Another recent release is “Roving Mars,” the IMAX documentary about the exploration of the red planet, which he produced with director George Butler.
Upcoming releases from the Kennedy/Marshall Company include “The Curious Case of Benjamin Button,” an epic romance directed by David Fincher, written by Oscar® winner Eric Roth and starring Brad Pitt and Cate Blanchett. An L.A. native and son of composer Jack Marshall, Marshall ran cross-country and track while a student at UCLA, and was a three-year Varsity letterman in soccer. Combining his passion for music and sports, he, along with America’s premiere miler Steve Scott, founded the Rock ‘N’ Roll Marathon, which debuted in 1998 in San Diego as the largest first-time marathon in history.
For over a decade, Marshall was a board member of the United States Olympic Committee and is the 2005 recipient of the prestigious Olympic Shield, awarded in recognition of his outstanding contribution to the USOC organization. Currently, he is on the board of the Los Angeles Sports Council, Athletes for Hope and The Governor’s Council on Physical Fitness, as well as Co-Chairman of Mentor LA and a member of the UCLA Foundation Board of Governors. He is a recipient of the acclaimed American Academy of Achievement Award, the UCLA Alumni Professional Achievement Award and the California Mentor Initiative’s Leadership Award. He and Kennedy are the recipients of the 2008 Producers Guild of America’s David O. Selznick Award for Career Achievement.
