(1994),
L.A. Confidential

Wonder Boys
(2000),
8 Mile
(2002), and

Early life
[
edit
]
Hanson was born in
Reno, Nevada
, and grew up in
Los Angeles
.
[1]
He was the son of Beverly June Curtis, a real estate agent, and Wilbur Hale "Bill" Hanson, a teacher.

[3]
[4]
Hanson dropped out of high school, finding work as a freelance photographer and editor for
Cinema
magazine.

Film career
[
edit

1970 to 1982: early writing and directing efforts
[
edit
]
In 1970, Hanson is listed among the writers of
Daniel Haller
's
The Dunwich Horror
, a film adaptation of
H.P. Lovecraft
's
short story
.
[6]
In 1973, Hanson wrote and directed his first feature,
Sweet Kill
starring
Tab Hunter
.
[7]
The film came about when Hanson approached the executive producer
Roger Corman
about the possibility of writing and directing a film for him. Corman replied he might also be interested in a modern horror film along the lines of
Psycho
(1960).
[8]
[9]
Hanson wrote the script originally with the killer as a female. Corman liked it but felt it was "a little too different" for the killer to be female so asked she be turned male.
[10]
[11]
According to Hanson, the film cost $130,000 and Corman was supposed to put up two-thirds of the money. After Corman decided to only put up a third, Hanson said "I went to my parents and persuaded them to put a mortgage on their home in order to finance this film."
[12]
After creative interference from Corman, Hanson later described the experience as a "very unhappy" one.
[13]
That same year, Hanson, with the pseudonym Edward Collins, shot a film called
And God Bless Grandma and Grandpa
. Producer Peter S. Traynor wanted to shoot new scenes. Which he did with actor
Dean Jagger
, in 1974, who played a character named "Dr. Shagetz." It was renamed
God Bless Dr. Shagetz.
In 1975, a litigation started between Traynor and the film's financial investors. It is rumored that with the name
God Bless Dr. Shagetz,
it had limited released in 1977. In 1983, a producer named
Mardi Rustam
, bought the films rights and shot new footage. In 1985, Rusham's version was released as a direct to video title name
Evil Town
.
[14]
In 1978, Hanson wrote and was an associate producer for
Daryl Duke
's Canadian film
The Silent Partner
.
[15]
The Silent Partner
did well in Canada both critically and financially, winning several
Canadian Film Academy Awards
including Best Picture and Best Director.
[16]
[17]
The film was a
sleeper
upon its US release, with Brendon Hanley of the film database
Allmovie
noting that the film"...stands out as one of the best sleepers of the late '70s".
[18]
In 1980, Hanson directed
The Little Dragons
starring
Chris
and
Pat Petersen
.
[19]
In 1982, Hanson was among the screenwriters of
Samuel Fuller
's
White Dog
. The film depicts the struggle of a dog trainer named, who is black, trying to retrain a stray dog trained to make vicious attacks upon, and to kill, any black person.
[20]
White Dog
was a 1970 novel,
[21]
whose story was purchased for use by Paramount in 1975, with Hanson selected to write the screenplay and
Roman Polanski
hired to direct. Before shooting commenced, Polanski had
legal problems
, leaving the production in limbo.
[22]
Over a span of six years, the project was given to various writers and producers.
[23]
[24]
By 1981, Hanson, back on board as the film's screenwriter, suggested that
Samuel Fuller
be named the film's director as he felt Fuller was the only one available with the experience needed to complete the film on short notice, while still doing so responsibly with regard to the sensitive material.
[25]
[26]
The film was praised by critics, particularly for its treatment of racism and Fuller's directorial talents.
[27]
[28]
[29]
1983 to 1994: rise to prominence and breakthrough
[
edit
]
In 1983, Hanson directed
Losin' It
, a comedy starring
Tom Cruise
, about teenagers going to Tijuana to visit a brothel.
[30]
The film received negative reviews from critics. It has an 18% score on
Rotten Tomatoes
based on 11 reviews.
[31]
It opened in 180 theaters in New York and Los Angeles, opening with $437,257 for the weekend; it grossed $1,246,141 domestically.
[32]

[35]
In 1986, Hanson directed the
made-for-television
crime
drama film
The Children of Times Square
.
[36]
In 1987, Hanson directed
The Bedroom Window
starring
Steve Guttenberg
,
Isabelle Huppert
, and
Elizabeth McGovern
.
[37]
The film came about, when he read the novel
The Witness
by
Anne Holden
and tried to get the film rights. Already bought by Paramount, Hanson made a deal with them. Hanson says McGovern was his "only choice" for the part of Denise. Hanson decided to cast French actress Huppert for a part of an American character, who felt she added sophistication to the role. Hanson says Guttenberg was not his first choice for the lead but rather a suggestion by producer
Dino De Laurentiis
, due to his popularity in comedies. Hanson agreed to cast Guttenberg, when he saw the actor's enthusiasm, and his eagerness to escape typecast.
[38]
Upon its original release, the film received mixed reviews from other film critics.
[39]
[40]
[41]
As of April 2021, the film holds a 70% rating on
Rotten Tomatoes
with the consensus: "A likable cast and mostly solid story..."
[42]
In 1990, Hanson directed
Bad Influence
, starring
Rob Lowe
and
James Spader
.
[43]
Hanson stated that the film bears similarities to his earlier movies,
The Silent Partner
and
The Bedroom Window
. He said all are about a "character who takes a step out of line. In these pictures the guy is very guilty ... and his guilt gets him in deeper and deeper. Because he's guilty he pays a terrible price, but we feel better because he paid that price and he ends up with a strict moral code he didn't have at the start of the picture."
[44]
During rehearsals, a sex scandal story broke about Lowe. "I don't believe in the theory that any publicity is good," said Hanson. "For Rob's sake and the picture's sake, I wish it had never happened. The story broke shortly before rehearsals and my reaction was completely selfish. I kept wondering, 'How does this affect the movie? How does it affect his performance?' It was like a carnival atmosphere around him."
[45]
Bad Influence
received mixed to positive reviews from critics. It holds a 65% rating on
Rotten Tomatoes
based on 20 reviews.
[46]
In 1992 Hanson directed
The Hand That Rocks the Cradle
.
[47]
The film opened on January 10, 1992, and grossed $7.7 million in its opening weekend.
[48]
The film lasted at #1 for four consecutive weeks and by the end of its run earned $88 million in the United States and Canada
[49]
[50]
and $52 million internationally,
[51]
for a worldwide total of $140 million.
1994 to 2005: continued success
[
edit
]
In 1994, Hanson directed the adventure film
The River Wild
starring
Meryl Streep
,
Kevin Bacon
, and
David Strathairn
.
[52]
It grossed $94,216,343 worldwide, earning $46,816,343 in the United States and Canada and $47,400,000 internationally.
[53]
In 1997, Hanson directed the noir film
L.A. Confidential
.
[54]
Prior to the Warner Brothers acquisition of the
James Ellroy
novel
L.A. Confidential
, and his hiring as a writer and director, Hanson had been a long-time fan of the author. Regarding Ellroy's characters, Hanson said "What hooked me on them was that, as I met them, one after the other, I didn't like them ? but as I continued reading, I started to care about them." Ellroy's novel also made Hanson think about Los Angeles and provided him with an opportunity to "set a movie at a point in time when the whole dream of Los Angeles, from that apparently golden era of the '20s and '30s, was being bulldozed."
Hanson was subsequently joined by screenwriter
Brian Helgeland
who had lobbied to be its writer prior to the hiring of Hanson. They worked on the script together for two years, with Hanson turning down jobs and Helgeland writing seven drafts for free. Relatively unknown Australian actors
Russell Crowe
and
Guy Pearce
were cast in leading roles, Hanson explained that he wanted to "replicate my experience of the book. You don't like any of these characters at first, but the deeper you get into their story, the more you begin to sympathize with them. I didn't want actors audiences knew and already liked."
[55]
L.A. Confidential
was a critical and commercial success. It grossed $126 million against a $35 million budget and received acclaim from critics, with praise for the acting, writing, directing, editing, and
Jerry Goldsmith
's musical score.
[56]
[57]
It was nominated for nine
Academy Awards
, including
Best Picture
, winning two:
Best Supporting Actress
(
Kim Basinger
) and
Best Adapted Screenplay
. In 2015, the
Library of Congress
selected
L.A. Confidential
for preservation in the United States
National Film Registry
as "culturally, historically, or aesthetically significant".
[58]
[59]
[60]
In 2000 Hanson directed
Wonder Boys
, a comedy drama starring
Michael Douglas
and
Tobey Maguire
.
[61]
Actress
Elizabeth McGovern
advised Hanson to work with screenwriter
Steve Kloves
. When he was given the writer's script for
Wonder Boys
and was told that Michael Douglas was interested in starring, he "fell in love with these characters ? and they made me laugh."
[62]
[63]
Hanson also identified with the main character and the "thing building up inside him: frustration, hunger, yearning, et cetera."
[62]
One of the challenges for Hanson was to take a plot that, as he put it, "is meandering and, apparently, sort of aimless," and a character that "does things that even he doesn't really know why he's doing them," and try to create a "feeling of focus" to keep the audience interested.
[64]
Another challenge the director faced was working in actual locations in very cold weather that was constantly changing.
[64]
Hanson also considered
Robert Downey Jr.
, who at the time had legal and personal problems, for a role.
[65]
Downey met with Hanson where they addressed his problems. The actor demonstrated a commitment to the project and Hanson hired him. Reportedly, Downey acted professionally for the entire shoot.
[65]
Hanson also contacted
Dante Spinotti
about working on the film in November 1998.
[66]
In its opening weekend,
Wonder Boys
opened at No. 7 in the US and Canadian box office and grossed a total of US$5.8 million in 1,253 theaters. It went on to gross $19,393,557 there and $14,033,031 in other countries, for a worldwide total of $33,426,588. Based on a $55 million budget, the film was a
box office bomb
.
[67]
The film received largely positive reviews from critics.
Rotten Tomatoes
reports an 81% rating, based on 125 reviews, with an average rating of 7.2/10. On
Metacritic
, the film has a 73 out of 100 score, based on 36 critics, indicating "generally favorable reviews".
[68]
In 2000, Hanson directed the music video "
Things Have Changed
" by
Bob Dylan
.
[

The song-writer Clinton Heylin wrote "Things Have Changed" to demonstrates a close knowledge of the film
Wonder Boys
, for which it was written. The lyrics make reference to "dancing lessons", "the jitterbug rag" and dressing "in drag", all of which feature in the plot of the film. Hanson recalled: "I learned that Dylan might be interested in contributing an original song… So when I came back from filming in Pittsburgh, Bob came by the editing room to see some rough cut footage. I told him the story and introduced him to the characters. We talked about Grady Tripp and where he was in life, emotionally and creatively. Weeks later a CD arrived in the mail".
[69]
For the music video, Hanson intercut footage of Dylan with sequences from the feature film, to suggest that Dylan was interacting with the film's characters.

[
edit
]
Hanson wrote, produced and directed the 2007 film
Lucky You
.
[77]
He developed the film with his producing partner Carol Fenelon, who was a regular competitor in poker tournaments. Hanson said, "Part of the reason for wanting to make the movie was that the poker world was different, interesting, and we had an affinity for it. But the other part of it was the emotional thing. The skills at the table ? and in the movie business ? are different from the qualities that you want running your personal life. That single-mindedness, the aggression, the duplicity or bluffing or whatever you want to call it, the lack of sympathy..."
[78]
The film was initially set for release on December 16, 2005.
[79]
However, the film sat on the shelf for two years and went through numerous release date changes as Warner Bros. mandated a half-dozen different cuts of the film in response to negative test screenings.
[80]

[90]

Rotten Tomatoes
it has an approval rating of 32% based on 81 reviews, with an average rating of 4.90/10. The site's consensus states: "It's sweet, gentle, and affably modest, but
Chasing Mavericks
is ultimately pulled under by an unconvincing script and a puzzling lack of energy."
[91]

FX
pilot
Hoke
,
[92]
which wasn't picked up for a series.
[93]

[94]
It was later reported that Hanson suffered from a rare terminal condition known as
