The official paperback tie-in to Tim Burton's 2014 Major Motion Picture, Big Eyes, starring Amy Adams - out Christmas Day from The Weinstein Company.
Scott Alexander and Larry Karaszewski met as freshman roommates at
USC's School of Cinematic Arts. On a whim, they wrote a screenplay
during their senior year, which sold a week after graduation.
They are best known for writing very unusual biopics with
larger-than-life characters. They first worked with Tim Burton on
the highly-acclaimed Ed Wood (1994), for which they were nominated
for Best Screenplay by the Writers Guild of America. They followed
this with The People vs. Larry Flynt (1996), for which they won the
Golden Globe fore Best Screenplay, as well as a special Writers
Guild award for civil rights and liberties. They also wrote the
extremely postmodern Man on the Moon (1999), the life story of Andy
Kaufman. All their biopic scripts have been published in book
form.
Otherwise, Alexander and Karaszewski are quite eclectic. They wrote
the hit Stephen King adaptation 1408 (2007). They produced the Bob
Crane biopic Auto Focus (2002), and they wrote and directed the
comedy Screwed (2000). They have also written numerous family
films, including Problem Child (1990), Problem Child 2 (1991),
Agent Cody Banks (2003), and the upcoming Goosebumps. Their next
project is the ten-hour miniseries American Crime Story- The People
v. O.J. Simpson, which will air on FX.
