Today’s guest is author Michael Frost Beckner, an accomplished author and screenwriter. After earning a degree in Novel Writing from USC under PEN/Faulkner winner T.C. Boyle, Michael became the writing assistant to Academy Award winner Barry Levinson on the films "Good Morning, Vietnam" and "Rain Man." His first film "Sniper" is currently in production with its ninth franchise film, followed by Texas Lead & Gold, "Cutthroat Island," and "The Hunchback of Notre Dame" (Disney).
Beckner went on to later adapt "The Night Manager" by John LeCarre. He wrote the screenplay for "Spy Game," which became an international success starring Robert Redford and Brad Pitt. He has just released a trilogy based on that movie: Muir's Gambit, Bishop's Endgame and Aiken in Check.
