Steven Zaillian is a notable screenwriter, as well as a director, producer and editor. He earned his degree in Cinema from San Fransico State University in 1975.
Zaillian wrote this year's "American Gangster" which was directed by Ridley Scott and stars Denzel Washington and Russell Crowe. He also wrote Martin Scorsese's "Gangs of New York", Steven Spielberg's "Schindler's List", "Hannibal", and came up with the story for "Mission Impossible."
Steven Zaillian is also a script doctor, having worked on several films, such as Twister, Amistad, Crimson Tide, Patriot Games, Primal Fear - without credit. He also directed, produced, edited and wrote "All The King's Men" in 2006, which stars Sean Penn, Jude Law, Anthony Hopkins, Kate Winslet, and Marc Ruffalo.
He is currently working on a screenplay which is an adaption of the 2007 novel, "A Thousand Splendid Suns" by Khaled Hosseini. He will also be directing this film. I have not yet heard any mention of Zaillian speaking about being Armenian, or of Armenians, but hopefully in the future. He has done some great work and written some true masterpieces.
