Alex Proyas mini-bio: Alex Proyas is an Australian film director, writer, and producer. He was born to
Greek parents in Egypt but moved to Sydney when he was 3 years of age. The
director of numerous music videos and commercials frequently works with
production designer Patrick Tatopoulos.
His first movie directorial project was a movie adaptation of the comic book
The Crow starring Brandon Lee. Tragically, Lee was killed in an accident
during filming, only eight days before the completion of the movie in March
1993. The Crow eventually released in May 1994 to box office success and
critical acclaim.
He then wrote and directed the 1998 science fiction thriller Dark City,
which had disappointing box office results despite winning numerous awards,
but has since gained a strong cult following. In 2004 he directed I, Robot,
a science fiction film "suggested by" the Isaac Asimov short story
compilation I, Robot that starred Will Smith. It was a box office success,
but met with mixed reactions by readers and fans of the Asimov stories.
