Writer: Matt Reeves

Matt Reeves directed Cloverfield, then took over the Planet of the Apes series for Dawn and War, both of which are built around a non-human protagonist carrying the film almost without dialogue.

The Batman is his most complete statement, a three-hour detective film in which the character actually investigates, shot in near-permanent rain and closer to Zodiac than to any previous Batman.

He also directed Let Me In, the American version of Let the Right One In, and has written or co-written most of what he directs.
