Eric Garcia (born September 1972 in Miami , Florida ) is an American writer and writer of socially critical novels as well as screenwriter and producer.
Career
Garcia studied English and media studies at Cornell University , but moved to the University of Southern California , where he also completed his first novel, Anonymous Rex in 1999.
With Casual Rex he continued his Rex series in 2001, the novel told the history of Anonymous Rex , a fact that was not recorded on the blurb but only became clear to the attentive reader. It confused some readers who thought Casual Rex was a sequel that it featured characters who had already died in Anonymous Rex .
In 2002 the Random House publishing house published the novel Matchstick Men , in German: Strichmännchen, German translation under the title Tricks , which revealed a completely new style compared to his previous novels. Warner Brothers had secured the film rights in good time and hired Ridley Scott as producer, Nicolas Cage as the neurotic con artist Roy Waller, Sam Rockwell and Alison Lohman in the lead roles.
In June 2007, it was announced that Jude Law and Forest Whitaker would star in Repo Men , a novel in writing. Garcia wrote the script with Garrett Lerner . The film is based on the HarperCollins- Verlag novel , published in 2009 under the title The Repossession Mambo . However, the title of the film was changed to Repo Men.
