Timeline

1963

Scott Alexander (born June 16, 1963) and Larry Karaszewski (born November 20, 1961) are an American screenwriting duo, best known for writing postmodern biopics with larger-than-life characters.

They coined the term "anti-biopic" to describe the genre they invented: Movies about people who don't deserve one.

They are uninterested in the traditional "great man" story, focusing instead on obscure strivers in American pop culture.

Their works in this genre include Ed Wood, The People vs. Larry Flynt, Man on the Moon, Big Eyes, Dolemite Is My Name, and the series The People v. O. J. Simpson: American Crime Story.

1985

The two met at the University of Southern California where they were freshman roommates; they graduated from the School of Cinematic Arts in 1985.

1990

Their first success was the popular but critically derided comedy Problem Child (1990).

Alexander and Karaszewski claim that their original screenplay was a sophisticated black comedy, but that the studio replaced them and watered it down into an unrecognizable state.

With the studio in a hurry to make a sequel, they returned to write Problem Child 2.

Problem Child was Universal Pictures most profitable film of 1990.

1992

In 1992, dissatisfied with their career, they decided to write a biopic about Edward D. Wood, Jr. Rather than mocking him, they identified with the obscure filmmaker and his struggles.

Tim Burton loved their script Ed Wood and agreed to direct it.

They had written the screenplay in six weeks.

Ed Wood won two Academy Awards and was nominated for the Palme d'Or at the Cannes Film Festival.

Ed Wood's acclaim led to a succession of offbeat biopics.

They wrote The People vs. Larry Flynt and Man on the Moon (about the short life of comedian Andy Kaufman), both films directed by Milos Forman.

Karaszewski and Alexander won the Best Screenplay Golden Globe for their work on Larry Flynt.

1997

Flynt also won the top award at the 1997 Berlin International Film Festival.

2000
