Shane Black(I)

Considered one of the pioneer screenwriters of the action genre, Black made his mark with his L'Arme fatale (1987) screenplay. He also collaborated on the story of the sequel, L'Arme fatale 2 (1989). Each successive script he turned in had a higher price attached it, from Le dernier samaritain (1991) to Au revoir à jamais (1996), and in between a re-write on the McTiernan/Schwarzenegger Last Action Hero (1993) script.
