Anthony Horowitz

Producer and writer

Anthony Horowitz, (born 5 April 1955) is an English novelist and screenwriter specialising in mystery and suspense. In between writing many novels, you can see these novels and tv series here,

Horowitz turned his attention to legendary characters, working with Richard Carpenter on the Robin of Sherwood television series, writing five episodes of the third season. He also novelised three of

Carpenter's episodes as a children's book under the title Robin Sherwood: The Hooded Man (1986). In addition, he created Crossbow (1987), a half-hour action adventure series loosely based on William Tell.

Born in North London, he attended Orley Farm Prep School. Then, he attended Rugby School and he graduated from York University. He wrote his first book when he was only 23 years old. Not only is he a

talented screenwriter, he has written over 20 books for children. He continues to write and a list of his books is below. His most recent film project has been from 2002-2005 as the creator and screenwriter of

Foyle's War (2002) series 1, 2, and 3. His wife, Jill Green joins him as producer on this series. He and Jill have two sons, Nicholas and Cassian.

Anthony Horowitz to write new James Bond novel

Anthony Horowitz, author of the Alex Rider teenage spy novels, will pen a new James Bond adventure following an invite from the Ian Fleming estate.

 Bond is back, again - author Anthony Horowitz is writing a new 007 novel based on an idea by the secret agent's creator Ian Fleming. The story, dubbed Project One, is inspired by Fleming's work for a proposed TV series

about the secret agent that was never made. It is the latest in a long line of books written after Fleming's death and will see Bond enter the glamorous world of 1950s motor racing. Most of the television plot outlines were turned

into short stories by Fleming but this one, called Murder on Wheels, was previously unknown. Fleming's great-niece Jessie Grimond said: "There are a few plot outlines which he never used and which, till now, have never

been published, or aired. Given that Anthony is as brilliant a screenwriter as he is a novelist, we thought it would be exciting to see what he would do with one of them."

Horowitz, whose screenwriting career includes Midsomer Murders and Foyle's War, is no stranger to thriller writing and has sold more than 19 million copies of his Alex Rider series about a teenage spy. And he recently

penned a new adventure for the master detective Sherlock Holmes. He said: "It's no secret that Ian Fleming's extraordinary character has had a profound influence on my life, so when the estate approached me to write a new

James Bond novel how could I possibly refuse? It's a huge challenge - more difficult even than Sherlock Holmes in some ways - but having original, unpublished material by Fleming has been an inspiration. This is a book I had

to write." The new book, which includes familiar characters M and Miss Moneypenny, is due for release next September and is the latest instalment of a series that began more than 50 years ago when Fleming wrote Dr No.

Horowitz follows in the footsteps of authors including Kingsley Amis, William Boyd and Sebastian Faulks who have all written new Bond books since Fleming's death in 1964.Boyd's book, Solo, was published last year

and featured Bond embroiled in a civil war in 1969 Africa. The Bond books, which have inspired one of Hollywood's most successful film franchises, have sold more than 100 million titles.

Horowitz v Fleming - spot the difference

When the doorbell rings at three in the morning, it's never good news. Alex Rider was woken by the first chime. His eyes flickered open but for a moment he stayed completely still in his bed, lying on his back with head resting on

the pillow. He heard a bedroom door open and a creak of wood as somebody went downstairs. The bell rang a second time and he looked at the alarm clock glowing beside him. 3.02 a.m. There was a rattle as someone slide the

security chain of the front door.

- Openings lines of Stormbreaker by Anthony Horowitz

The scent and smoke and sweat of a casino are nauseating at three in the morning. Then the soul-erosion produced by high gambling - a compost of greed and fear and nervous tension - becomes unbearable and the senses awake

and revolt from it. James Bond suddenly knew he was tired. He always knew when his body or his mind had had enough and he always acted on the knowledge. This helped him to avoid staleness and he sensual bluntness that

breeds mistakes.

Second James Bond novel (2018)

Anthony Horowitz’s second James Bond novel using original material by Ian Fleming will be published on Thursday 31 May 2018, it is announced today. Forever and a Day is a prequel to Casino Royale,

Fleming’s first 007 novel, and will explore the origins of the world’s most famous secret agent.

Friedrich Schiller (I) (1759–1805)

Friedrich Schiller was born on Nov. 10, 1759, in Marbach, Germany. His father was an army doctor. Growing up in a very poor environment, Schiller eventually managed to get the support of a wealthy duke that

enabled him to study medicine. He served as a military doctor first, but through the efforts of Johann Wolfgang von Goethe he finally went to Jena and Weimar, where he died on the May 9, 1805.

Schiller is an important German author of his time, most famous for his stage plays. They were highly acclaimed--and mostly forbidden, because of their contents. His first big work, "Die Räuber", dealt with the revolt

of sons against their parents and environment, a very modern topic for the time and one that was not accepted in many regions of Germany. Overall, though, he is underrated as an author due to the fact that he lived

and wrote in the same time as Goethe: Schiller is considered to be a good writer, but not as brilliant as Goethe.

George Mihalka (born 1953) is a Hungarian-born Canadian filmmaker. He is known for his 1981 slasher film My Bloody Valentine which was remade in 2009 

since 1963, George Mihalka studied film at Concordia University in Montreal. In 1981, he directed My Bloody Valentine, a low-budget ‘slasher’ for Paramount that was a modest

box office hit. He has since directed in Quebec, Europe and the U.S., moving with ease from French to English, comedy to drama, theatrical features to episodic television. His 1993

satirical feature, La Florida, about Quebec snowbirds, was a huge hit in that province and the Golden Reel Award winner for the highest-grossing Canadian film of the year.

In between season 2 and 3 Will Lyman went to canada for the film, “Hostile Takeover with George Mihalka. (starring with David Warner, was in Crossbow episode The Alchemist) and started

with season three with blond hair because of this movie. I asked in the interview to interview Mr. Lyman about the remarkable color change of his hair: Quote:

Probably because of a film I did in Canada with George Mihalka, “Hostile Takeover.” I had lightened it just a bit, but when I went back to France for Crossbow, they liked the colour and then

I depended on French hair colour products. They were a little bit different from the ones in the USA. That’s a long story made short."

appearing in war-era films.

Career: Zetterling appeared in film and television productions spanning six decades from the 1940s to the 1990s. Her breakthrough came in the 1944 film Torment written by Ingmar Bergman,

in which she played a controversial role as a tormented shopgirl. Shortly afterwards she moved to England and gained instant success there with her title role in Basil Dearden's Frieda (1947)

playing opposite David Farrar. After a brief return to Sweden in which she worked with Bergman again in his film Music in Darkness (1948), she returned to England and starred in a number

Ranald Graham

Ranald Graham was born on January 3, 1941 in Sandokan, to Scottish parents, where his father was a businessman. In 1942, shortly after Graham's first birthday, the Japanese invaded and interned him,

with his parents and elder sister, in a PoW camp in Kuching. Although almost 2,000 died there, the family survived and Australian troops liberated the camp more than three years later. 

He was a writer and producer, known for Dempsey and Makepeace (1985) (TV Series) (written by - 6 episodes, 1985 - 1986 and produces 10) , The Sweeney (1974) and Sweeney! (1977).

He was married to Carolyn Trayler and Judy Monahan. He died on August 29, 2010. (motor neurone disease, aged 69)

Ranald Graham made his name as a writer of the gritty television crime dramas The Sweeney and The Professionals. When it was decided to make a feature-film spin-off Sweeney! (1977),

Graham was chosen as the screenwriter. "I felt that he had a cinematic understanding that not all television writers had," recalled the producer, Ted Childs. "It was better than life quality,

which Ranald was able to bring to it." When his parents eventually returned to Sandokan, Graham was educated at Gordonstoun school in Scotland, then graduated in English from Trinity College Dublin,

where he enjoyed acting with the theatre group, before gaining an MA in contemporary literature from Birmingham University. 

Graham decided that he wanted to write and had a play about the 1966 Aberfan colliery disaster performed at the Edinburgh festival fringe. A keen sports enthusiast, who for many years ran round Hyde Park daily,

in 1968 he became a researcher and writer for the ITV documentary series Sports Arena, presented by Michael Parkinson. From there, Graham progressed to writing for the big screen. He brought his very

individual qualities to Shanks (1974), the final film made by the American B-movie director William Castle. This macabre horror picture was promoted as "a grim fairytale." 

But a new career as a writer of crime dramas followed. After the success of The Professionals, Graham wrote episodes of an Australian version, Special Squad (1984-85). Then, he became series consultant,

a writer and, eventually, producer on Dempsey and Makepeace (1985-86).

   He scripted the opening episode, which established the characters of a streetwise cop from Manhattan (Dempsey, played by Michael Brandon) and a hard-centred, plummy British detective (Makepeace,

played by Glynis Barber), who teamed up in a crack undercover unit. Critics found the stories implausible. Similar criticism stung Yellowthread Street (1990), a big-budget police series set and filmed

in Hong Kong, again produced by Graham, with Ray Lonnen in the starring role of Ch Insp Alex Vale. It was the writer's last TV work.

Graham enjoyed watching boxing, Scottish rugby and English cricket. He was also famed for the annual Burns Night suppers that he organised for more than 30 years, when he was joined by TV industry

stalwarts such as Ian Stuttard and Andy Allan (contemporaries of his at Dublin and Birmingham universities respectively), Childs and the director Tom Clegg. Guests flew in from Dublin, Los Angeles or Australia. 

Both of Graham's marriages ended in divorce. He had a son with Judy Monahan (She had a guest appearance in Crossbow episode The Emperor part two as non) and two daughters with Carolyn Trayler.

His children survive him. Source: The Guardian.

NOTE

Unfortunately I found out (while reading) the IMBD list that, many gueststar appearances and actors doesn't match the number of episodes. It says Conrad Phillips was in 3 episodes but that isn't true.

(Reunion, Stallion, Imposter, Pass, Misalliance, Possessed, The Four Horsemen, The Citadel, The Princess, Ladyship and The promised Land, later in season three in Moment of Truth). This is an example

but there are more of this. I can't really check them all. I think it has to be written correctly in IMDB so if there is information that isn't correctr please feel free to email us.
