Jeremy Slater
Jeremy Slater is an American film writer.
Slater wrote My Spy, an action comedy film which will be directed by Jake Kasdan, as well as Tape 4, a horror film to be produced by Primal Pictures,[1] and Man of Tomorrow, a superhero noir film which was included in the 2012 Black List.
In July 2012, Slater was hired to write the script for the 2015 Fantastic Four film.[1] After the film was released in August 2015, Slater commented that a lot of what he wrote was not in the finished film (particularly his version of the first act), but that he'll "always be honored that [he] got to play in such a cool sandbox."[2]
Slater's original version of the script for Fantastic Four included the villains Galactus, Dr. Doom and Mole Man, with Dr. Doom as a Latverian dictator, not as the anti-social programmer he was portrayed as in the finished film.[3]
In April 2015, it was announced that Adam Wingard would direct an upcoming live-action American film adaptation of Takeshi Obata's popular manga series Death Note, with the most recent draft of the screenplay written by Slater.[4]
