Scott Alexander and '''Larry Karaszewski''' are a Hollywood Screenwriting team. They met at the University Of Southern California where they were roommates. Their first success was the popular but critically derided comedy '' Problem Child '' ( 1990 ). Alexander and Karaszewski claim that their original screenplay was a sophisticated Black Comedy but that the studio watered it down into an unrecognizable state. In 1994 , Alexander and Karaszewski persuaded Tim Burton to direct a Biopic about the worst film director in the world, Edward D. Wood, Jr. . They wrote the screenplay in six weeks; the film was titled simply '' Ed Wood ''. Their subsequent films include '' The People Vs. Larry Flynt '' ( 1996 ), the Andy Kaufman biopic '' Man On The Moon '' ( 1999 ) and '' Agent Cody Banks '' ( 2003 ). They wrote a script about Robert Ripley called '' Believe It Or Not ''. The script languished in " Development Hell " for a long time until Paramount Pictures announced in November 2005 that the film was moving ahead with Tim Burton directing and starring Jim Carrey . The writing team has also adapted Stephen King 's short story ''1408'', released in 2007 . In 2007, they both appeared in the documentary Dreams On Spec , the first documentary film to look at the Hollywood creative process from the perspective of the writer. |
