Description

Blake is a bestselling novelist and screenwriter. He is the author of a dozen novels, most recently, DARK MATTER, RECURSION, and UPGRADE, for which he is also writing the movie for Steven Spielberg’s Amblin Partners. His international bestselling WAYWARD PINES trilogy was adapted into a television series for FOX and his novel, RECURSION, is currently being developed as a Netflix series by Shonda Rhimes and Matt Reeves. The nine-episode adaptation of his novel DARK MATTER follows a man who’s abducted into an alternate version of his life. Amid the mind-bending landscape of lives he could've lived, he embarks on a harrowing journey to get back to his true family and save them from a terrifying foe: himself. In this interview, we talk about his early career break into screenwriting with WAYWARD PINES, the challenges and benefits of writer's rooms, the role of showrunners, his series DARK MATTER, and much more.
