Everett De Roche (July 12, 1946 - April 2, 2014) was an American born screenwriter who has worked extensively in Australian film and TV. He was best known for his work in the thriller and horror genre, with such credits as ''Long Weekend'', ''Patrick'' and ''Road Games''. ==Career== De Roche was born in Lincoln Maine and moved to San Diego with his family when he was six. De Roche emigrated to Australia with his wife when he was 22 in 1968 and originally worked as a journalist for the Queensland Health Education Council. He wanted to be a writer and wrote a spec script for ''Division Four''. Nine months later he received a telegram inviting him to write for the show. From 1970-74 he was a staff writer at Crawford Productions mainly working on police shows, then he freelanced. In the late 70s and early 80s he established himself as the leading screenwriter of thrillers in Australia.〔(Everett de Roche at Crawford Productions ) accessed 23 Sept 2012〕〔('An Interview with Everett de Roche', 1 June 2012 ) accessed 23 Sept 2012〕 He often worked with director Richard Franklin who said of him: Everett is a very inspirational writer... Everett gives one too much of everything and you don’t always know what to use. You start editing down and you end up with words and single lines of dialogue that were once scenes. That is maybe how this problem, as you see it, comes about. But that only has to do with Everett’s extraordinarily fertile imagination and his writing speed.〔(Scott Murray, "Richard Franklin: Director/Producer", ''Senses of Cinema'', 12 July 2008 ) accessed 26 October 2012〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Everett De Roche」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
