Lem Dobbs (born Anton Lemuel Kitaj; 24 December 1959) is a British-American screenwriter, best known for the films ''Dark City'' (1998) and ''The Limey'' (1999). He was born in Oxford, England, and is the son of the late painter, R.B. Kitaj. The nom de plume "Dobbs" was taken from the character played by Humphrey Bogart in ''The Treasure of the Sierra Madre''. ==Career== In 1979, Dobbs wrote an original screenplay entitled ''Edward Ford'' which remains unproduced as of April 2014. Critic Matthew Dessem has called the script "famously brilliant, famously unproduced", and asserts that "most of Hollywood" agrees it is a "masterpiece". On the basis of another unproduced screenplay, ''The Marvel of the Haunted Castle'', Dobbs was hired to re-write Diane Thomas' screenplay ''Romancing the Stone'', though his contributions went uncredited. Following that film's success, several films based on Dobbs' screenplays saw the light of day: ''Hider in the House'', ''The Hard Way'', ''Kafka'' (which Dobbs wrote in the 1970s), and ''The Limey''. He was also credited as co-writer on both ''Dark City'' and ''The Score''. Dobbs' latest produced credit is ''Haywire'', a 2012 action-thriller, directed again by Steven Soderbergh (director of both ''Kafka'' and ''The Limey''). Dobbs has spoken on DVD commentary tracks for his films ''Dark City'' and ''The Limey'', and (as a film historian) for the unrelated ''The Sand Pebbles'', ''Von Ryan's Express'', and ''Double Indemnity'' (this last due to his personal friendship with the late director Billy Wilder). 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「Lem Dobbs」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
