Biography

Joel T. Schumacher (August 29, 1939 – June 22, 2020) was an American film director, screenwriter, producer, and costume designer. He was raised in New York City by his mother and suffered from substance abuse at a young age. He became a fashion designer after graduating from Parsons School of Design, but would continue suffering from substance abuse and high levels of debt until the early 1970s. He first entered film-making as a production and costume designer before gaining writing credits on Car Wash, Sparkle, and The Wiz.

He received little attention for his initial theatrically released films, The Incredible Shrinking Woman and D.C. Cab, but rose to prominence after directing St. Elmo's Fire (1985), The Lost Boys (1987), and The Client (1994). Schumacher was selected to replace Tim Burton as director of the Batman franchise and oversaw Batman Foreve (1995) and Batman & Robin (1997). After the Batman franchise Schumacher directed smaller-budgeted films, including Tigerland (2000) and Phone Booth (2002). He directed The Phantom of the Opera, which was released to mixed reviews in 2004. His final directorial work was for two episodes of House of Cards (2013).

Joel T. Schumacher (29 agosto 1939 - 22 giugno 2020) è stato un regista, sceneggiatore, produttore e costumista statunitense. Cresciuto a New York dalla madre, ha sofferto di abuso di sostanze stupefacenti in giovane età. Diventa stilista dopo essersi laureato alla Parsons School of Design, ma continuerà a soffrire di abuso di sostanze e di alti livelli di indebitamento fino ai primi anni Settanta. Si è avvicinato al mondo del cinema come scenografo e costumista, prima di ottenere crediti di scrittura per Car Wash, Sparkle e The Wiz.

Ha ricevuto poca attenzione per i suoi primi film distribuiti nelle sale, The Incredible Shrinking Woman e D.C.
