Robert Zemeckis
- Producer
- Writer
- Director
A whiz-kid with special effects, Robert is from the Spielberg camp of
film-making (Steven Spielberg produced
many of his films). Usually working with writing partner
Bob Gale, Robert's earlier films show he has a
talent for zany comedy
(Romancing the Stone (1984),
1941 (1979)) and special effect vehicles
(Who Framed Roger Rabbit (1988)
and
Back to the Future (1985)).
His later films have become more serious, with the hugely successful
Tom Hanks vehicle
Forrest Gump (1994) and the
Jodie Foster film
Contact (1997), both critically acclaimed
movies. Again, these films incorporate stunning effects. Robert has
proved he can work a serious story around great effects.
