W.D. Richter Returns with 'Stealth'
W.D. "Rick" Richter has one of the most fascinating filmographies of any living screenwriter, Charlie Kaufman notwithstanding. Born in 1945, Richter produced his first screenplay in 1972, Slither. He also wrote Peter Bogdanovich's Nickelodeon (1976), Philip Kaufman's Invasion of the Body Snatchers remake (1978) and the 1979 Dracula remake. He received an Oscar nomination for the Robert Redford film Brubaker (1980), then directed the cult film The Adventures of Buckaroo Banzai Across the Eighth Dimension (1984). He continued with John Carpetner's Big Trouble in Little China (1986), the Stephen King adaptation Needful Things (1993) and Jodie Foster's memorable Thanksgiving film Home for the Holidays (1995). Then he disappeared for ten years before turning up again -- almost inexplicably -- on this summer's brain-dead action flick Stealth. It would be great to see Richter collect a long-deserved Oscar this year, but it's more likely he'll wind up with a Razzie. Let's hope he doesn't hibernate for another decade...

Oh yeah, here's hoping.
I don't have heroes... and Richter is mine. Heh.
