Ryne Douglas Pearson USA Guest July 31, 2011


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 CloudburstOctober's GhostCapitol PunishmentSimple SimonTop TenThe Donzerly LightAll For Oneand 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-WestScience 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.
