His first commercial short film was ''The Storekeeper'' (1998). Hood co-produced and wrote the script for his first feature film, ''A Reasonable Man'' (1999), which portrays the accidental killing of a young child mistaken for a tokoloshe. He then directed the Polish language 2001 feature film ''In Desert and Wilderness'' (''W pustyni i w puszczy'') when the original director fell ill. This was followed by ''Tsotsi'' (2005). Tsotsi won the 2005 Academy Award for Best Foreign Language Film and was nominated for the Golden Globe for Best Foreign Language Film in 2006. Hood was also nominated for the 2005 Non-European Film—Prix Screen International at the European Film Awards for his work on the film. In 2000, ''Variety'' magazine named him as one of its "Ten Directors to Watch". He directed ''Rendition'' (2007), his first Hollywood feature, for New Line Cinema. He also directed the film ''X-Men Origins: Wolverine'', based on the Marvel Comics character of the same name, with Hugh Jackman reprising his role from the ''X-Men'' films. Prior to the film's release, Gavin talked about the political undertones of the new Wolverine movie: Any movie that is simply about good versus evil...is in my view putting out into the world and certainly into a mass audience and young audience's mind a rather dangerous philosophy, which is that there is good and evil in the simplistic and easily defined way... In 2011, Hood began work at the helm of novelist Orson Scott Card's ''Ender's Game''. He wrote a draft of Card's screenplay and directed the film. ''Ender's Game'' was released in U.S. theaters on 1 November 2013. 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「Gavin Hood」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
