Birthplace – N/A
A specialist in high-octane action movies, British-born director Scott Mann debuted with the action film, The Tournament (2009), with Robert Carlyle, Ving Rhames, and Kelly Hu. His second feature marked a major step up the Hollywood ladder, with the crime thriller, The Heist (2015), starring Robert De Niro, Kate Bosworth, and Dave Bautista. Three years later, Mann staged the more ambitious soccer stadium-set thriller, Final Score, and reunited with star-producer Bautista, Pierce Brosnan, and Ray Stevenson.
As screenwriter and director, Mann’s vision for cinematic action went vertical in 2022, with the staging of vertiginous action in the Fall, with Grace Caroline Currey, Virginia Gardner, and Jeffrey Dean Morgen. Mann is reportedly set to direct the Los Angeles-set disaster movie, #tsunami, from his co-written (with Jonathan Frank, based on producer Richard Rionda Del Castro’s story) script, with Korean star Dong-won Gang.
