Doug Lyman - biography, date of birth, place of birth, filmography, clips.
Born in New York, USA on July 24, 1965. He began filming his first short films while still in high school. Studied at the International Center for Photography in New York. While studying at Brown University, where he entered later, he became one of the founders of the television center for students and one of the first managers of this organization. Graduated from the university in 1988. Then he studied at the School of Film and Television at the University of Southern California, from which he graduated in 1992
He made his directorial debut in 1994 with the black comedy "Admission" (1994). Success comes to Lyman already with his second work - "Party People" (1996). The movie with a budget of 200 thousand dollars, in which Lyman acted not only as a director, but also as a cameraman, collects more than 4 million dollars at the box office. The main role in the film was played by Jon Favreau, who wrote the script for it. The commercial success of the film and warm reviews from film critics give the director the opportunity to independently choose his next project. Such a project becomes the picture "Ecstasy" (1999) with Ketty Holmes in the title role. The picture, positioned as "youth and teenage", was distinguished by a high level of director and camera work by Lyman and received flattering reviews from film critics, but did not have commercial success. Much more successful, in all respects, comes out the next work of the director - the first part of the trilogy about the special agent of the CIA "The Bourne Identity" (2002), which grossed more than 200 million at the box office. The director decides not to be satisfied with what has already been achieved, and already in 2005 he released an even more commercially successful film "Mr. and Mrs. Smith", where the two main roles, working as killers of the spouses, were played by Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt. The action-packed comedy grossed just under half a billion dollars at the box office. The director's next work, another fantastic thriller Lunar Project, is set to hit theaters in 2010.
