Akiva J. Goldsman (born July 7, 1962) from Manhattan, New York is an American film and television writer, director, and producer. He received an Academy Award for Best Adapted Screenplay for the 2001 film, ''A Beautiful Mind'', which also won the Oscar for Best Picture. Goldsman has been exclusively involved with Hollywood films. His filmography also includes the films ''Batman Forever'' and its sequel ''Batman & Robin'', ''I Am Legend'' and ''Cinderella Man'' and numerous rewrites both credited and uncredited. In 2006 Goldsman re-teamed with ''A Beautiful Mind'' director Ron Howard for a high profile project, adapting Dan Brown's novel ''The Da Vinci Code'' for Howard's film version, receiving mixed reviews for his work. ==Life and career== Akiva Goldsman was born on July 7, 1962 in New York City, the son of Tev Goldsman, a therapist, and Mira Rothenberg, a child psychologist. His family is Jewish. Both of his parents ran a group home for emotionally disturbed children. Goldsman's parents were occupied with their work, and Goldsman said, "By the time I was 10 or 12, I realized they had taken my parents away from me. I wanted nothing more to do with that world. I wanted to be a writer. I had a fantasy that someday I'd see my name on a book." In 1983, Goldsman attended Wesleyan University in Middletown, Connecticut. After graduation, Goldsman studied creative writing at New York University and began writing screenplays. In 1994, he wrote the screenplay that would become the film ''Silent Fall''.〔 Afterward, director Joel Schumacher hired Goldsman to write ''The Client''.〔 In the late 1990s, Akiva Goldsman wrote screenplays for ''A Time to Kill'' and ''Batman & Robin'', which were considered subpar quality and got him nominated for the Golden Raspberry Awards. Goldsman came to the realization, "I sort of got lost. I was writing away from what I knew. It's a little like a cat chasing its tail. Once you start making movies that are less than satisfying, you start to lose your opportunity to make the satisfying ones. People are not serving them up to you, saying, 'You're the guy we want for this.'" Goldsman appealed to producer Brian Grazer to write the screenplay for ''A Beautiful Mind'' and ultimately won an Academy Award for Writing Adapted Screenplay. The star of ''A Beautiful Mind'', Russell Crowe, later invited Goldsman and director Ron Howard to film ''Cinderella Man'', and Goldsman wrote the film's screenplay. Goldsman has a production company at Warner Bros. called Weed Road Pictures. On April 6, 2010, it was announced that he will produce a PG-13 remake of the Troma cult film ''The Toxic Avenger''.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=The Toxic Avenger Mops Up in Redo Deal )〕 On September 8, 2010, it was announced that he would write the first season of the television series based on the novels of Stephen King's ''The Dark Tower'' series.
