John Landis is an American film director, screen writer, actor and producer. He is known for his comedies and his music video with singer Michael Jackson. Michael Jackson's Thriller is a 14-minute music video and was most successful and expensive video created so far. Landis also known for Michael Jackson's "Black or White video" and videos for Pail McCartney.
I chose John Landis because i remembered hearing about him as being the director of the Thriller music video and decided to look into him and see what his work was like, as i researched him I became fascinated by what he had achieved and been involved in. Another thing which interested me was that he just didn't specialise in one certain area but a whole variety, almost giving the impression that he didn't like to just settle for one career option and he like to explore other aspects of his career.
In 1980, Landis co-wrote and directed The blues Brothers. It featured musical numbers by legends such as James Brown Aretha Franklin and Ray Charles.At the time it was one of the most expensive films ever made. Landis has worked for a variety of companies including Direct TV, Taco Bell, Coca Cola, Pepsi, Kellogg's and Disney. Landis had also worked as a stunt man specialising in certain falls.
