Alex Cox
Alexander Cox (born Bebington,〔(Liverpool Daily Post: Alex Cox releases new book )〕 Cheshire, 15 December 1954) is a British film director, screenwriter, nonfiction author and sometime actor, notable for his idiosyncratic style and approach to scripts. Cox experienced success early in his career with ''Repo Man'' and ''Sid and Nancy'', but since the release and commercial failure of ''Walker'', he has focused his career in independent films.
==Background==
Cox has cited Luis Buñuel and Akira Kurosawa as influences,〔(Alex Cox - Kurosawa: The Last Empeor )〕 as well as the great Western film directors Sergio Leone, Sam Peckinpah and John Ford. Cox also wrote a book on the history of the genre called ''10,000 Ways to Die''. While he once directed films for Universal Pictures, such as ''Repo Man'' and ''Walker'', since the late 1980s, he has found himself on a self-described blacklist, and turned to producing independent films. Cox is an atheist and is decidedly left wing in his political views. Many of his films have an explicit anti-capitalist theme or message. He was originally set to direct ''Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas'' but was replaced by Terry Gilliam due to creative differences with Hunter S. Thompson. By August 2009, Cox had announced completion of ''Repo Chick'', which premiered at the Venice Film Festival the following month, but he remained ambivalent as to whether the film would ever be distributed to cinemas.〔(Director Alex Cox on His Long-Awaited Non-Sequel Repo Chick )〕 His previous film, ''Searchers 2.0'', was not released theatrically, and only appears on DVD in Japan and North America after a televised screening in the UK on the BBC.
Cox is a fan of the Japanese ''Godzilla'' films and appeared in a 1998 BBC documentary highlighting the series. He also narrated the documentary ''Bringing Godzilla Down to Size'' and wrote the ''Godzilla in Time'' comics for Dark Horse. He tried to direct an American ''Godzilla'' film at one point, but unsuccessfully submitted his outline to TriStar Pictures.
