Drew Pearce is an ex-loser musician and now multi-hyphenate writer-director-producer. He's best known for co-writing "Iron Man Three" for Marvel studios, and for his work on movies such as "Pacific Rim" and "Godzilla." Pearce also wrote and directed last year's celebrated Marvel One-Shot film "All Hail The King," starring Ben Kingsley.
Pearce has written a "Ghostbusters" spin-off produced by and starring Channing Tatum, developing the original crime drama "The Long Run" as writer and director for Twentieth Century Fox, and directed "The Billion Brick Race" for Warner Brothers, an original Lego movie co-written by Pearce and Jason Segel and executive produced by Phil Lord And Chris Miller.
Before moving to Los Angeles, Drew created the award-winning UK series "No Heroics," a sitcom about unsuccessful British superheroes following their R-rated off-duty exploits in hero-only pub The Fortress. The series was shot in 2008, and released in October of that year. The show was nominated for a British Comedy Award, which led Pearce to shoot a U.S. pilot in the spring of 2009, for the ABC Network.
Pearce's break into movies came in 2010, when Marvel hired him to adapt "Runaways." Staying in the Marvel family, it was then announced on March 31, 2011 that he would co-write "Iron Man Three" with director Shane Black. In addition to his work on "Pacific Rim," "Godzilla" and "Sherlock Holmes 3," Pearce has also penned and executive produced the original screenplay "Secretary's Day" for Sony Pictures Entertainment. He also co-wrote and coproduced with Jason Segel the comedy "Delinquents," based on the 2011 documentary, "The Other F Word," for Twentieth Century Fox.
