Biography
Hollywood mogul Andrew Form began his ascent to the producer's chair courtesy of a much-coveted job as the assistant to
Jerry Bruckheimer, on such opuses as
Bad Boys (1995),
Crimson Tide (1995) and
The Rock (1996). In subsequent years, Form distinguished himself as a producer in his own right; he co-formed the shingle Platinum Dunes with
Michael Bay and onetime Bay assistant Bradley Fuller. At Platinum, Form specialized in early 21st century remakes of horror classics that downplayed subtlety, upped the ante on graphic violence and gore, and generally made hefty box office returns. Early projects included the 2003 remake of
The Texas Chainsaw Massacre and the 2005 remake of
The Amityville Horror. In 2008, Form continued this trend
ad extremis, with a slate that included projected remakes of films including
Rosemary's Baby,
A Nightmare on Elm Street and
Friday the 13th. ~ Nathan Southern, All Movie Guide
