Filmmaker Novelists
By Will Mavity 

​
For years I struggled to find a list somewhere of novels written by filmmakers. Not non-fiction books that are written by filmmakers, and not novelists who happen to have written a screenplay or two, but a list entirely composed of people who are first and foremost known as screenwriters and directors, but who it turns out to have cranked out a novel or two. Surely, someone who is a gifted storyteller could also convey compelling narratives on the page. As it turns out, there are hundreds who have done this. As we enter summer, begin our Patreon podcast episodes for "Next Best Adaptation" (First up is "Boy Erased") and you start craving some beach reading, why not pick a name or two off of this list?
For the purposes of this list, I am leaving off people who are known primarily as novelists. As such, screenwriters/directors who are known more for their literature than for their screen efforts will not make this list, although Nick Hornby ("About a Boy," "Brooklyn," "An Education" & "Wild"), Luke Davies ("Lion," "Candy" & "Life"), Clive Barker ("Hellraiser"), Graham Moore ("The Imitation Game"), and Anthony McCarten ("Darkest Hour" & "The Theory Of Everything") warrant shoutouts as they’re almost equally well known as screenwriters as novelists.

Additionally, screenwriters/directors who wrote graphic novels will not make the list (There are dozens—James Wan, Daren Aronofsky, Eric Heisserer, Joss Whedon, just to name a few). Actors who have not heavily written or directed films will not make the list (So no Gene Hackman, John Travolta, and Britney Spears - yes all three of those people wrote novels). And finally, screenwriters/directors who wrote non-fiction books will not make the list. We’re focusing exclusively on writers who produced fiction novels. (Although I do want to give a shoutout to Paul Verhoeven for having written a non-fiction book about the hunt for historical Jesus because that was…unexpected, to say the least.)

​John Boorman

John Boorman
Notable Films/TV: Deliverance (Director), Hope and Glory (Writer/Director), Excalibur (Writer/Director), Point Blank (Director)
Novels: Crime of Passion
​
British director, John Boorman stands with an impressive five Oscar nominations to his name. His work in "Deliverance" remains an indelible part of pop culture history. Three generations of people will cringe if you ever say “I’m gonna make you squeal like a pig,” and you can’t get into a single white water rafting store without at least one t-shirt proudly bearing the phrase “paddle faster…I hear banjo music.” Hell, as Sandra Bullock in "The Blind Side" illustrated, if you really want to insult someone as a backwoods redneck, call them ‘Deliverance.’ His work on "Hope and Glory" again earned him much deserved Oscar attention, creating one of the all-time great portraits of England during WWII. 

His debut novel, "Crime of Passion" crept to bookshelves in 2016 with little fanfare and mixed reviews. The novel follows a group of filmmakers who see themselves spiraling into creative oblivion after their latest film is panned at Cannes (Boorman himself makes a cameo as a member of the Cannes jury). 

​Michael Cimino

Michael Cimino
Notable Films/TV: The Deer Hunter (Writer/Director), Heaven’s Gate (Writer/Director), Magnum Force (Writer), Thunderbolt and Lightfoot (Writer/Director)
Novels: Big Jane
​
The late Michael Cimino erupted onto the filmmaking scene in the 1970s, first writing some of the better Clint Eastwood films of the period, before establishing himself as one of the great auteurs of the era with this Oscar-winning Vietnam epic, "The Deer Hunter." Then he almost singlehandedly bankrupted a studio with his disastrous follow-up, "Heaven’s Gate," bringing an era of unbridled creativity to an end.

He became a recluse afterward, largely avoiding interviews or even photographs, until he resurfaced with his 2001 debut novel, "Big Jane." The novel, set in the 50s, and taking place in both Hollywood and Korea, failed to make much of a splash in the US, but was a hit in France, with Cimino ultimately receiving the Prix Littéraire Deauville 2001 (An award that had previously been awarded to literary greats such as Norman Mailer and Gore Vidal.) 

​Ethan Coen

Ethan Coen
Notable Films/TV: No Country for Old Men (Writer/Director), Fargo (Writer/Director), O Brother, Where Art Thou (Writer/Director), True Grit (Writer/Director)
Novels: Gates of Eden: Stories (also published book of poems)
​
If you’re reading this article, then I’ll presume I don’t really need to tell you much about Ethan Coen…he’s half of The Coen Brothers, two of the greatest filmmakers of our time. As literary as any Coen Brother film is, full of crackling dialogue, it is unsurprising that at least one of the brothers would turn his pen to prose. Although Coen’s "Gates of Eden" is not a novel, per say, but rather a collection of short stories, it is nonetheless a 300-page work of fiction. Most of the short stories focusing on classically Coen-esque setups: Midwestern crime with a splash of absurdist comedy. The writer/director has also written collections of poems. 

​Chris Columbus

Chris Columbus
Notable Films/TV: Harry Potter and the Sorcerer’s Stone (Director), Home Alone (Director), Gremlins (Writer), Mrs. Doubtfire (Director)
Novels: House of Secrets, House of Secrets: Battle of the Beast (with Ned Vizzini)

Chris Columbus will eternally stand as one of the great children’s movie filmmakers. "Home Alone" and his two installments in the "Harry Potter" franchise are two of the highest grossing films of all time adjusted for inflation, and his Spielberg collaborations in the 1980s ("Young Sherlock Holmes" and "Gremlins") are era classics. His two novels to date were appropriately also YA fantasy novels, co-written by the late Ned Vizzini ("It’s Kind of a Funny Story") and that JK Rowling described as “a breakneck, jam-packed roller coaster of an adventure.”

​Frank Darabont

Frank Darabont
Notable Films/TV: The Shawshank Redemption (Writer/Director), The Green Mile (Writer/Director), The Walking Dead (Creator/Writer), The Mist (Writer/Director)
Novels: Wapulski’s Typewriter 
​
"The Shawshank Redemption" still stands as the highest rated film in IMDB history, while the writer/director’s other two Steven King adaptations are considered among the best based on King’s work. Darabont’s influence on the first season of "The Walking Dead" is apparent, as the show visibly declined in quality following his departure. 

Darabont continues his visible love of the horror genre with his debut novel, Wapulski’s typewriter, a horror novella that centers around a demon-possessed typewriter. 

​James Gunn

James Gunn
Notable Films/TV: Guardians of the Galaxy (Writer/Director), Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2 (Writer/Director), (Slither (Writer/Director), Dawn of the Dead (Writer)
Novels: The Toy Collector
​
Although James Gunn is best known for his "Guardians of the Galaxy" films, along with his gross-out horror work, the writer has some surprising credits to his name. First and foremost, he worked on the live action "Scooby Doo" films. But even more surprisingly, he wrote a novel back in the 90s. The novel, which focuses on a grown man struggling with a self-destructive relationship with toys and memorabilia features plenty of the writer/director’s signature bizarre humor but is noticeably darker than his onscreen work. 

​Eric Idle ​

Eric Idle
​Notable Films/TV: Monty Python and the Holy Grail (Writer), Life of Brian (Writer), The Meaning of Life (Writer), Monty Python’s Flying Circus (Writer)
Novels: The Road to Mars
​
As one of the founders of Monty Python, Idle stands as one of the great comedians of all time. Unsurprisingly, since his films are undoubtedly writing showcases, Idle had at least one comedy novel in him. The writer/actor’s sci-fi novel pulls from Idle’s real-life experiences in the world of comedy, focusing on two struggling comedians who travel throughout the galaxy in search of a standup gig. 

​Elia Kazan

Elia Kazan
Notable Films/TV: On the Waterfront (Director), A Streetcar Named Desire (Director), East of Eden (Director), Gentleman’s Agreement (Director)
Novels: America’s America, The Arrangement, The Anatolian, Beyond the Aegean, Acts of Love, The Understudy

Often described as one of the greatest directors of all-time, Kazan’s films always stood as politically charged and, as an immigrant himself, often focused on the struggle of immigration to America. His six novels did the same. 

​Ernest Lehman

Ernest Lehman
Notable Films/TV: West Side Story (Writer), The Sound of Music (Writer), North by Northwest (Writer), Who’s Afraid of Virginia Woolfe (Writer)
Novels: The French Atlantic Affair, The Sweet Smell of Success and Other Stories
​
The six-time Oscar-nominated screenwriter stands as one of the most successful in Hollywood history. He was astonishingly versatile, adding an iconic contribution to the musical, thriller, and general drama genres. His novel, leans more in the vain of his thrillers like "North by Northwest," focusing on a high-seas highjacking, while his collection of short stories paints a steamy picture of show business, no doubt influenced by Lehman’s own experiences in the industry. 

​Barry Levinson

Barry Levinson
Notable Films/TV: Rain Man (Director), Good Morning Vietnam (Director), Wag the Dog (Director), Avalon (Writer/Director)
Novels: Sixty Six

The Academy Award-winning director may not be as relevant in the 21st century as he once was (Although he has carved out a good career for himself in television), but that in no way taints his cinematic legacy, having helmed some of the buzziest films of the 80s and 90s. His debut novel is a coming of age story focusing on a group of high school students in Baltimore during the tumultuous cultural changes of the 60s. 

​William Monahan

William Monahan
Notable Films/TV: The Departed (Writer), Edge of Darkness (Writer), Kingdom of Heaven (Writer), London Boulevard (Writer/Director)
Novels: Light House

Monahan may have only written one truly great screenplay ("The Departed"), but that Oscar-winning screenplay is strong enough to catch my attention whenever his name is mentioned. Unsurprisingly, Monahan’s novel is centered around the aftermath of a drug deal. More surprisingly, given the bloody and heavy nature of his films, is that the novel is also an absurdist satire. 

​Alan Parker

Alan Parker
Notable Films/TV: Midnight Express (Director), Mississippi Burning (Director), Evita (Writer/Director), The Commitments (Director)
Novels: The Sucker’s Kiss

Like others on this list, Parker may not be as relevant as he once was, but his cinematic contributions in the 70s and 80s earned him more than one Best Director Oscar nomination. The director’s debut novel follows in the footsteps of his debut film, "Bugsy Malone," focusing on a gang of childhood thieves during the great depression. 

​Oliver Stone

Oliver Stone
Notable Films/TV: JFK (Writer/Director), Platoon (Writer/Director), Wall Street (Writer/Director), Born on the Fourth of July (Writer/Director)
Novels: A Child’s Night Dream
​
Oliver Stone’s greatest films focus on Vietnam in one fashion or another. So it is unsurprising that his lone novel would also center on the Vietnam War. Featuring a fictional ‘Oliver Stone,’ the novel, one of Stone’s earliest works, is a psychedelic trip through Vietnam.

​Gus Van Sant

Gus Van Sant
Notable Films/TV: Good Will Hunting (Director), Milk (Director), My Own Private Idaho (Writer/Director), Drug Store Cowboy (Writer/Director)
Novels: Pink
​
Released just a year after "Good Will Hunting," Van Sant’s lone novel is a quirky, distinctly 90s, absurdist piece of literature focusing on small town struggling filmmakers. 

​Orson Welles

Orson Welles
Notable Films/TV: Citizen Kane (Writer/Director), Touch of Evil (Writer/Director), The Lady from Shanghai (Writer/Director), The Magnificent Ambersons (Writer/Director)
Novels: Mr. Arkadin: Aka Confidential Report: The Secret Sordid Life of an International Tycoon

Creator of what many consider the greatest film of all time, and a renowned member of the theater community, it is not shocking that Welles wrote at least one novel. His ‘novel’  (A comedic pulp-noir) however, in keeping with Welles’ desire for weirdness is “most likely an English translation of a screenplay novelization written in French that was based on a radio play about a character Welles played in "The Third Man.” (Pop Matters) 

Trust me…the list doesn’t end here. I just don’t have it in me to write 115 descriptions. Some of the names will shock, and some of the authors prove themselves more adept novelists than filmmakers (The writer of Uwe Boll’s "Alone In The Dark" is on here with a sci-fi novel that was considered one of the ‘Best Books of 2017.’)

Special shoutouts go to the late George Romero, whose unfinished zombie novel is due out later this year, as well as to Jason Blum, who oversees an entire horror publishing company, and to Spike Lee, Gary Ross, and Tim Burton for writing children’s books. A number of actors, such as Gene Hackman, Wesley Snipes, Harrison Ford, and Hugh Laurie have also written novels.

Do any of these take you by surprise? Have you read any of these filmmaker's novels? Let us know in the comments below and be sure to subscribe to our Patreon Page so you can keep up with our "Book Club" on the podcast this year called "Next Best
