David Koepp (born June 9, 1963) is an American screenwriter and director. Koepp is the fifth most successful screenwriter of all time in terms of U.S. box office receipts with a total gross of over $2.3 billion.〔(Box Office Mojo - People Index )〕 ==Career== As a writer, Koepp has worked on blockbuster Hollywood films such as ''Jurassic Park'', ''Mission Impossible'', and ''Spider-Man''. He appeared briefly as "Unlucky Bastard", the man mauled by a T. rex in San Diego in ''The Lost World: Jurassic Park'', on which he worked as a writer and second unit director. Although Koepp did not write ''Jurassic Park III'', he did devise the film's basic storyline. Koepp later declined an offer to write a script for the series' fourth film, ''Jurassic World'', as he felt he had nothing left to contribute to the series. Koepp was reportedly paid $4,000,000 for his ''Panic Room'' screenplay. He wrote the screenplay for ''Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull'' and co-wrote and directed 2008's ''Ghost Town'' starring Ricky Gervais and Greg Kinnear. Koepp's work as a director has not had quite the same box office success. His films include ''Secret Window'', ''Stir of Echoes'', and ''The Trigger Effect''. Koepp has also worked in television, creating the 2002 series ''Hack'' starring David Morse. In 2012, Koepp directed ''Premium Rush'', which he co-wrote with John Kamps. In an August 2011 lawsuit, Joe Quirk, the author of the 1998 novel ''The Ultimate Rush'', accused Koepp and the makers of ''Premium Rush'' of copyright infringement.〔Stevens, Elizabeth Lesly, ("A Big Hollywood Movie Is Coming, and a Novelist Cries Foul" ), ''The New York Times'', August 20, 2011〕 On April 2, 2013, U.S. District Judge Richard Seeborg dismissed this case, finding that the two works were not substantially similar.〔Gardner, Eriq, ("Sony Pictures Wins 'Premium Rush' Theft Lawsuit" ), "The Hollywood Reporter", April 3, 2013〕 On February 17, 2013, Koepp received the WGA East's Ian McClellan Hunter Award for Career Achievement.〔McNary, Dave, ("WGA East Honors Koepp" ), "Variety", January 29, 2013〕 On July 10, 2013, Lionsgate was reported to have acquired the comedic crime novel ''The Great Mortdecai Moustache Mystery'', written by Kyril Bonfiglioli. Koepp directed the film, titled ''Mortdecai'', from a script by Eric Aronson; Johnny Depp played the lead role of Charlie Mortdecai, and the film also featured Gwyneth Paltrow, Ewan McGregor, and Paul Bettany.
