Writer: Ed Solomon

Ed Solomon co-wrote Bill and Ted’s Excellent Adventure and its sequels, whose time-travel logic is considerably tighter than the films’ reputation suggests, and Men in Black, which established its own tone entirely.

He also wrote Now You See Me and Mosaic for Steven Soderbergh, an interactive narrative built to be viewed in multiple orders.

The through line is a willingness to build a coherent internal logic under a comic premise, which is why the Bill and Ted films sustained a third entry thirty years later.
