Simon Kinberg
Description
“The hardest part of genre films is making the characters real when their situations are so unreal”– Simon Kinberg
Simon Kinberg recently burst onto the scene with his script for xXx: State of the Union, and has since worked on comic-to-film adaptations for Elektra and Fantastic Four and penned the third film in the X-Men series, X-Men: The Last Stand.
