The studio system often tries to dictate the type of movies a filmmaker is allowed to make. But uncompromising storytellers like writer-director Brad Anderson are never afraid to steer their career in whatever direction they choose.
Brad Anderson is an American film director, producer and writer. A director of thriller and horror films and television projects, he is best known for having directed The Machinist (2004), starring Christian Bale, psychological horror film Session 9 (2001). His next two films were TransSiberian (2008), a thriller starring Woody Harrelson, Emily Mortimer and Ben Kingsley and the horror film Vanishing on 7th Street (2010), starring Hayden Christensen, John Leguizamo and Thandiwe Newton. In 2018, Anderson directed the espionage thriller Beirut, written by Tony Gilroy, which stars Jon Hamm and Rosamund Pike. He also produced and directed several installments of the Fox science fiction television series Fringe. Early in his career, he directed the romantic comedies Next Stop Wonderland (1998) and Happy Accidents (2000), both of which premiered at the Sundance Film Festival. His other television credits include The Wire, The Killing, The Man in the High Castle, and Boardwalk Empire.
