Scott Alexander (born June 16, 1963, Los Angeles, California) and Larry Karaszewski (born November 20, 1961, South Bend, Indiana) are an American screenwriting team. They met at the University of Southern California where they were roommates; they graduated from the School of Cinematic Arts in 1985.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=An Evening with Scott Alexander and Larry Karaszewski )〕 ==Biography== Their first success was the popular but critically derided comedy ''Problem Child'' (1990). Alexander and Karaszewski claim that their original screenplay was a sophisticated black comedy, but that the studio watered it down into an unrecognizable state. In 1994, Alexander and Karaszewski persuaded Tim Burton to direct a biopic about Edward D. Wood, Jr. They wrote the screenplay in six weeks.〔(Yahoo.com )〕 ''Ed Wood'' led to a succession of offbeat biopics, including ''The People vs. Larry Flynt''; ''Man on the Moon'', about the short life of comedian Andy Kaufman; and ''Auto Focus'', chronicling the downfall and subsequent murder of Hogan's Heroes star Bob Crane, which they produced. A script they penned about the life of Robert Ripley of ''Ripley's Believe It or Not!'' was at one time attached to Jim Carrey, but like their scripts about The Marx Brothers, The Village People, Sid and Marty Krofft and Rollen Stewart a.k.a. "Rainbow Man", it has yet to be produced. They also adapted Stephen King's short story ''1408'', did uncredited rewrites on ''Mars Attacks!'' and ''Hulk'', and worked on a number of family films, such as ''Agent Cody Banks'' and the 1997 remake of ''That Darn Cat''. In 2000, they made their directorial debut with ''Screwed''. The film was not well received. In 2007, they both appeared in the documentary ''Dreams on Spec'', a film looking at the Hollywood creative process from the perspective of the writer. The duo wrote Tim Burton's 2014 film ''Big Eyes'', a biopic about painter Margaret Keane. They were slated to direct, but vacated later. They were also set to collaborate with Burton on a new stop-motion ''The Addams Family'' film, but the project was axed in 2013. They are currently working on their first television series, ''American Crime Story'', which will be a true crime anthology drama with season one based on the O. J. Simpson trial. 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「Scott Alexander and Larry Karaszewski」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
