By Iain Blair

With a career spanning almost three decades, Larry Gross is a renowned screenwriter-director-producer who’s written such big hits as 48 Hours, the Clint Eastwood-directed True Crime and We Don’t Live Here Anymore, which won the Waldo Salt Screenwriting Award at 2004’s Sundance Film Festival.  He’s also won Western Heritage Awards for 1994’s Geronimo: An American Legend and the 2001 television movie-of-the-week, The Virginian.  His adaptation of the novel Veronika Decides to Die is currently in pre-production with Kate Bosworth attached to star. But he seems most excited about another new script he’s written with Walter Hill. “It’s called Visitor and it’s another sci-fi story – and don’t forget, the last sci-fi thing Walter did was a little movie called Alien,” he told me.  “It’s about a strange being that suddenly appears on earth and starts doing strange things – that’s all I can tell you. I’m also doing an adaptation of Moby Dick which has taken me 4 years to do.”
