BlackTree TV's Jamaal Finkley catches up with Super Producers Joel Silver and Akiva Goldsman on the carpet for The Losers.

JOEL SILVER (Producer), one of the most prolific and successful producers in the history of motion pictures, has produced more than 60 films, including the groundbreaking "The Matrix" trilogy, the blockbuster four-part "Lethal Weapon" franchise, and the seminal action films "Die Hard" and "Predator." To date, Silver's catalog of films have earned over $10 billion in worldwide revenue from all sources.

Under his Silver Pictures banner, Silver most recently produced the smash hit action adventure mystery "Sherlock Holmes." Directed by Guy Ritchie and starring Robert Downey Jr. as the legendary detective and Jude Law as Watson, the film has earned more than $500 million at the worldwide box office.
Dark Castle previously produced a string of hit films beginning with the record-breaking 1999 opening of "House on Haunted Hill," followed by "Thir13en Ghosts" in 2001, "Ghost Ship" in 2002, "Gothika" in 2003 and "House of Wax" in 2005. Dark Castle more recently released Guy Ritchie's critically acclaimed actioner "RocknRolla," with an ensemble cast led by Gerard Butler, Tom Wilkinson, Thandie Newton and Mark Strong, the horror thriller "Orphan," starring Vera Farmiga and Peter Sarsgaard; and the actioner "Ninja Assassin," directed by James McTeigue and starring Rain.

AKIVA GOLDSMAN (Producer) is an Oscar®-winning screenwriter, as well as a successful producer. His production company, Weed Road Pictures, has produced a wide range of films and also has a number of projects upcoming, including "Jonah Hex," based on the DC Comics character and starring Josh Brolin, Megan Fox and John Malkovich; and "Fair Game," starring Sean Penn and Naomi Watts under the direction of Doug Liman.

Under the Weed Road banner, Goldsman recently produced two mega-hit Will Smith starrers: Peter Berg's "Hancock," which earned approximately $625 million worldwide; and Francis Lawrence's "I Am Legend," for which Goldsman also co-wrote the screenplay and which took in more than $585 million globally.

His additional producing credits with Weed Road include the smash hit actioner "Mr. & Mrs. Smith," starring Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt under the direction of Doug Liman; Francis Lawrence's thriller "Constantine"; and Todd Phillips' action comedy "Starsky & Hutch."

Goldsman won an Academy Award®, Golden Globe, and Writers Guild of America (WGA) Award for his screenplay for the 2001 drama "A Beautiful Mind," directed by Ron Howard, produced by Brian Grazer and starring Russell Crowe. Chronicling the tribulations and triumphs of Nobel Prize-winning mathematician John Nash, who suffered from schizophrenia, the film won numerous honors, including the Oscar® for Best Picture.

Goldsman reunited with Howard, Grazer and Crowe as the screenwriter on the 2005 biopic "Cinderella Man," for which Goldsman earned BAFTA Award and WGA Award nominations. He has since re-teamed with Howard and Grazer as the screenwriter on the worldwide blockbusters "The Da Vinci Code" and "Angels & Demons," both starring Tom Hanks and based on the best-selling novels by Dan Brown.

His earlier screenwriting credits include "I, Robot," starring Will Smith; "Practical Magic," starring Sandra Bullock and Nicole Kidman; and the Joel Schumacher-directed films "A Time to Kill," "Batman Forever" and "The Client."

Goldsman, who grew up in Brooklyn Heights, graduated from Wesleyan University and attended the graduate program in creative writing at New York University.
