Timeline
Jonathan Michael Goldstein (born September 2, 1968) is an American filmmaker best known for his work on Dungeons & Dragons: Honor Among Thieves, Game Night, Spider-Man: Homecoming, and Horrible Bosses.
Born in New York City, Goldstein moved to Beachwood, Ohio, in 1980, where he graduated from Beachwood High School in 1986.
Goldstein and Daley co-wrote and directed their script for Vacation, a follow-up to the 1983 comedy film National Lampoon's Vacation.
Ed Helms played the adult Rusty Griswold.
The film grossed $104 million in worldwide box office off a budget of $32 million.
He attended the University of Michigan and then Harvard Law School, graduating in 1995.
He worked for two years as a corporate litigator at the New York office of Jones, Day, Reavis & Pogue.
Finding the legal profession less than fulfilling, he moved to Los Angeles in 1998 to pursue a career in comedy writing.
Shortly thereafter, he began writing for network television comedies and eventually films.
Goldstein lives in Los Angeles with his wife, novelist Adena Halpern, who he married in 2007.
In 2007, in collaboration with his writing partner, John Francis Daley, Goldstein sold his first film script, The $40,000 Man, to New Line Cinema.
Since that first sale, Goldstein and Daley have been engaged on a number of other feature projects, including Hours of Fun, The Incredible Burt Wonderstone, starring Steve Carell and Jim Carrey, Cal of the Wild for Steven Spielberg and DreamWorks, and an adaptation of the documentary Of All the Things for Warner Bros. Pictures, also with Steve Carell set to play the lead.
In 2009, the team were hired to rewrite the sequel to the animated film, Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs.
Daley and Goldstein's earlier work was predominantly based in the comedy genre where they were co-screenwriters for Horrible Bosses (2011), co-writers for The Incredible Burt Wonderstone (2013), co-story writers for Horrible Bosses 2 (2014), and also co-wrote/co-directed the fifth film in the National Lampoon's Vacation film series, Vacation (2015).
New Line's Horrible Bosses was released on July 8, 2011, and has made over $200 million in worldwide box office.
The duo received co-writer credits for Spider-Man: Homecoming (2017) with other screenwriters, which was met with critical and financial success; and they co-directed the 2018 black comedy Game Night, which also met with critical and financial success.
Prior to his feature film career, Goldstein wrote for numerous situation comedies, including The PJs starring Eddie Murphy, The Geena Davis Show, Good Morning Miami, Four Kings, and The New Adventures of Old Christine.
Goldstein and Daley wrote the screenplay for the 2017 film Spider-Man: Homecoming, and were both considered to direct before Jon Watts was hired.
Goldstein and Daley directed the 2018 black comedy Game Night, based on a screenplay by Mark Perez which they rewrote.
The film, starring Jason Bateman and Rachel McAdams, "earned a raft of glowing reviews for its whip-smart script, energetic performances, and deliberate avoidance of modern comedy's ubiquitous tropes," and grossed $117 million at the worldwide box office, versus a $37 million budget.
While they did not receive screenwriter credit, they later said they rewrote "almost all of the original script's dialogue, totally overhauled the characters — most notably a creepy cop portrayed by Jesse Plemons — and comprehensively reworked the original script's third act."
In 2018, it was announced that the filmmaking duo would direct a film adaptation of DC Comics' The Flash for the DC Extended Universe, but it was announced in July that they have left the project.
Despite this, both Goldstein and Daley received story by credit alongside Joby Harold.
In 2019, it was announced that Goldstein and Daley were in talks be directing the reboot of Dungeons & Dragons: Honor Among Thieves (2023).
In January 2020, it was announced that, in addition to directing, they would be writing a new draft of the screenplay.
As of May 11, 2023, Dungeons & Dragons: Honor Among Thieves has grossed $91.4 million in the United States and Canada, and $111.6 million in other territories, for a worldwide total of $203 million.
