Joseph Minion (born 1957 in Teaneck, New Jersey) is an American film director and screenwriter, best known for Martin Scorsese's ''After Hours'' (1985). Born in New Jersey in 1957, Minion briefly attended NYU Film School before finishing his studies at Columbia University, then renowned for its screenwriting program. In 1984, Minion's script for ''After Hours'' was optioned by Griffin Dunne and Amy Robinson, the latter a former actress who'd appeared as Harvey Keitel's damaged girlfriend in Scorsese's ''Mean Streets'' (1973). Robinson sent Minion's screenplay to Scorsese, whose ''Last Temptation of Christ'' had recently fallen through; production on ''After Hours'' started shortly afterward. Later, it surfaced that Minion had plagiarized portions of ''After Hours'' from radio host Joe Frank, who sued and settled for an undisclosed sum.〔(The Scandalous Origins of Martin Scorsese’s After Hours )〕 Minion continued his screenwriting career with 1987's ''Julia and Julia'' starring Kathleen Turner; 1989's ''Vampire's Kiss'', starring Nicolas Cage; ''Motorama'' (1991); and ''On the Run'' (1999). He also worked again with Martin Scorsese in 1986 for an episode of ''Amazing Stories'', "Mirror, Mirror".〔http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0088478/〕 As a director, Minion made his debut for producer Roger Corman with 1987's ''Daddy's Boys'', said to have been thrown together at the last minute to make use of standing sets for ''Big Bad Mama II''. His last outing as director was for another low-budget feature, ''Trafficking'' (1999). ==External links== * * (The Scandalous Origins of Martin Scorsese’s After Hours ) 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「Joseph Minion」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
