Today it's all about Robert Zemeckis
... So who else to discuss him than with
Lea Thompson and
Christopher Lloyd!
Robert Lee Zemeckis (born May 14,
1952) is an
American filmmaker and screenwriter. Zemeckis is credited as one of the greatest "visual storytellers" in filmmaking and is a pioneer of visual effects. He has directed some of the biggest blockbuster hits of the past few decades. He first came to public attention in the
1980s as the director and co-creator of the science-fiction comedy
Back to the Future film trilogy, as well as the live-action/animated family comedy
Who Framed Roger Rabbit (
1988), though in the
1990s he diversified into more dramatic fare, including
1994's Forrest Gump, for which he won an
Academy Award for Best Directing. The films he has directed have ranged across a wide variety of genres, for both adults and families.
His films are characterized by an interest in state-of-the-art special effects, including the early use of the insertion of computer graphics into live-action footage in Back to the Future
Part II (
1989) and the pioneering performance capturetechniques seen in
The Polar Express (2004),
Beowulf (
2007) and
A Christmas Carol (2009). Though Zemeckis has often been pigeonholed as a director interested only in effects, his work has been defended by several critics, including
David Thomson, who wrote that "No other contemporary director has used special effects to more dramatic and narrative purpose."
