Series | RIPLEY, AMERICAN GANGSTER, SEARCHING FOR BOBBY FISCHER
ABOUT THE SERIES:
Steven Zaillian has been one of Hollywood’s most accomplished and respected filmmakers for decades. After his first Oscar nomination for AWAKENINGS in 1991, Zaillian won an Academy Award for his screenplay for SCHINDLER’S LIST in 1993. The same year, he wrote and directed the Oscar-nominated SEARCHING FOR BOBBY FISCHER. He has also written the screenplays for AMERICAN GANGSTER, THE GIRL WITH THE DRAGON TATTOO, MONEYBALL (co-written), and THE IRISHMAN. Mr. Zaillian has been recognized with Oscar nominations for writing five times. In addition to his many accomplishments in film, Mr. Zaillian also penned and directed the critically-acclaimed, award-winning limited series THE NIGHT OF.
Now Zaillian has turned his focus to Patricia Highsmith’s singular anti-hero, Tom Ripley, in a new adaptation of Highsmith’s best-known work with RIPLEY, a new limited series which premiered this spring on Netflix.
