Timeline

1972

James Moran (born 5 March 1972) is a British screenwriter for television and film, who wrote the horror-comedy Severance.

He works in the horror, comedy, science-fiction, historical fiction and spy thriller genres.

Born in York, Moran's first produced work came as the result of a competition run by the Sci Fi Channel.

The competition asked for writers to submit short science-fiction themed film scripts.

Moran won, and his entry Cheap Rate Gravity was produced and shown both on the sci-fi channel and in front of full-length movies, including Final Destination 2.

Moran secured an agent at the PFD Literary Agency from the strength of the competition win, a spec film script, and a six-part TV drama entitled The School.

He wrote the entire run of The School on spec, later saying he was unaware that generally only a pilot is written until a production company shows interest.

Moran claims the series is still his favourite of his own works.

2005

Moran scripted the 2005 film Severance, which concerns office workers on a team building trip being stalked by a masked killer.

Talking about where the idea for Severance came from, Moran said "I'd been trying to think of a good horror idea, and one day had a really bad commute home – yuppies in pinstripe suits were everywhere, pushing past me, jumping the queue, and generally being the ignorant scumbags that they are. So, in a flash of temper, I decided to kill off some yuppies in a horror – take them to a cabin, and pick them off one by one. Once I'd calmed down, I thought that was a pretty good idea – take some standard, British office types, and throw them into a cabin-in-the-woods horror, see how they react. And it developed from there."

2008

"Sleeper" was broadcast by BBC Two on 23 January 2008.

Moran's Doctor Who episode, "The Fires of Pompeii" – set during the eruption of Mount Vesuvius – was broadcast on 12 April 2008 as part of the revived program's fourth series.

Moran also wrote episodes for series 3 of the ITV series Primeval, series 3 of Crossing Lines, the BBC One series Spooks, its BBC Three spin-off Spooks: Code 9, and the NBC series Crusoe, based on the novel by Daniel Defoe.

He would also diversify into children's television, working on series 3 of CBBC show The Sparticle Mystery, series 2 and series 3 of Eve, The Rubbish World of Dave Spud and Silverpoint.

In 2008, Moran wrote a comic which featured on the Doctor Who website.

His first published short story, Breadcrumbs, appeared in the Doctor Who anthology Short Trips: Transmissions.

2009

In April 2009, the BBC reported that the murder of a 17-year-old student from Norfolk was a re-enactment of a scene written by Moran from the film Severance.

Moran also co-wrote the Torchwood episode, "Day Three" of "Children of Earth" with Russell T Davies which was first broadcast on 8 July 2009.

His other stories were Companion in the anthology Short Trips: Christmas Around the World, Grand Theft Planet in The Doctor Who Storybook 2009, The Haldenmor Fugue in The Doctor Who Storybook 2010, Virus in Torchwood: Consequences, Stakes On A Plane in Torchwood Magazine, October 2009, and Unplugged in Torchwood Magazine, December 2010.

Moran's novelisation of The Fires of Pompeii was released on 14 July 2022 as part of the Target Collection.

His first audio work was a Highlander play, The Promise, the fourth and final story in the second season of the Big Finish audios.

He has written, and made his directorial debut with, the crime thriller web series Girl Number 9, starring Tracy Ann Oberman, Joe Absolom and Gareth David-Lloyd.

Tower Block was the closing film at 2012's FrightFest film festival.

2013

In 2013 he wrote and directed a short film, Crazy For You, a romantic comedy about a serial killer, which starred Arthur Darvill and Hannah Tointon.

It premiered at London's FrightFest, and has played at the London Short Film Festival, the Seattle International Film Festival, among others.

2014

Moran also did an uncredited rewrite on 2014 horror movie The Borderlands, later released in the US as Final Prayer.

In 2014 he wrote and directed another short, Three Minutes, starring Daniel Brocklebank, which was also repurposed into a music video for the band Eighteen Nightmares at the Lux.

2015

In 2015, his short film Ghosting premiered at London's FrightFest.

2016

2017

The film won various awards since its release at Horror Channel FrightFest, including the Audience Award at Wimbledon International Short Film Festival, Funniest Film, Best Director and Best Script at the Knoxville Horror Film Festival, and Best Male Lead for Shaun Dooley at Sick Chick Flicks Film Festival.

2020

In 2020, it was announced Moran had written Sequel, a female-led slasher produced by Joe Dante and to be directed by Danielle Harris.

Moran's television writing debut was writing episodes for Doctor Who, and its adult themed spin-off, Torchwood.

He lobbied his agent for many years to get him a job on either show.

First came Torchwood with the episode, "Sleeper", in the second series.

It concerns a burglary that goes wrong, revealing a plot that leaves the whole planet in danger.

There are many allusions to terrorism during the episode, and filming on several controlled explosions in Cardiff was almost disrupted by a real terrorist attack in Glasgow.
