Andrew Niccol is one of the rare Kiwis to have made a career in Hollywood, and to boot he has done so largely with films based on his (original) ideas. His directing debut was dystopic GE future tale (Gattaca), and he wrote one of the most acclaimed films of the 90s, reality TV saga, The Truman Show. He has directed A-list actors Al Pacino, Ethan Hawke, Uma Thurman, Nicolas Cage, and Justin Timberlake.
I didn't even know I was making science fiction when I started my career. I just thought I was telling stories. I didn't know which shelf my movies would end up on in the video shop. And now that I know, video stores are a thing of the past.
