Lawrence G. "Larry" Cohen (born July 15, 1941) is an American film producer, director, and screenwriter. He is best known as a B-Movie auteur of horror and science fiction films – often containing a police procedural element – during 1970s and 1980s. He has since concentrated mainly on screenwriting including the Joel Schumacher thriller Phone Booth (2002), Cellular (2004) and Captivity (2007). In 2006 Cohen returned to the directing chair for the Mick Garris-created Masters of Horror TV series (2006); he directed the episode Pick Me Up.

Biography

Larry Cohen est né à Manhattan (New York) dans l'État de New York. Il a commencé sa carrière à la télévision en écrivant pour des spectacles et en créant les séries culte Branded et Les Envahisseurs. Son premier film est Bone, sorti en 1972, dont il est à la fois scénariste, réalisateur et producteur.

Larry Cohen a été influencé par le réalisateur Samuel Fuller et a habité une maison lui ayant appartenu. Ces dernières années, il a délaissé ses activités de producteur et de réalisateur pour se consacrer à l'écriture. Ce travail a d'abord concerné la télévision et des films à petits budgets, mais il s'est retrouvé au premier plan à Hollywood lorsque le scénario de Phone Game a été porté à l'écran en 2002 par le réalisateur Joel Schumacher.
