Il scénarisa également De l'ombre à la lumière ainsi que Da Vinci Code, l'adaptation du best-seller de Dan Brown qui recevra des critiques désastreuses.

Le long-métrage se concentre sur l'histoire de l'amour maudit d'un couple qui devront affronter les forces du mal. Le film est servi par un casting avantageux : Colin Farrell, Russell Crowe et Will Smith. Un amour d'hiver recevra un accueil catastrophique, aussi bien commercial que critique.
