Jonathan Hensleigh

One of the most prolific screenwriters in the action/adventure genre, Jonathan started his career writing episodes of _The Young Indiana Jones Chronicles (1992)_ (qv) for 'George Lucas' (qv) and ABC. He wrote _Die Hard with a Vengeance (1995)_ (qv), re-conceived from his original spec script "Simon Says". He followed that with _Jumanji (1995)_ (qv). His script for the _The Saint (1997)_ (qv) was completely re-written by others. After this frustration, he enjoyed a long working friendship with producer 'Jerry Bruckheimer' (qv) with whom he collaborated on many projects since 1996. He re-wrote the whole script for _The Rock (1996)_ (qv) without credit, which he tried desperately to achieve via WGA arbitration.He did uncredited re-writes on _Con Air (1997)_ (qv) and the remake of _Gone in 60 Seconds (2000)_ (qv) and received executive producer credits on both. _Armageddon (1998)_ (qv), from Jonathan's original idea, was the second time Jonathan had the highest grossing film, worldwide, at the box office. The other was _Die Hard with a Vengeance (1995)_ (qv).Jonathan's next projects are _Gemini Man (2019)_ (qv) for Disney and _The Punisher (2004)_ (qv) for Artisan/Marvel, which he will also direct in late 2002.::Anonymous
