Early life

Mangold was born in New York City in 1963, and is the son of Jewish artists Robert Mangold and Sylvia Plimack Mangold.[8] He was raised in Hudson Valley and graduated from Washingtonville High School.[8][9]

He attended the California Institute of the Arts film/video program[9] where he studied under Alexander Mackendrick. During Mangold's third year, Mackendrick suggested that he should study at CalArts School of Theater as an actor, alongside his regular film studies.[10]

Career

In 1985, Mangold secured a writer/director deal at Disney.[9] He wrote a television movie and co-wrote the animated feature Oliver and Company.[9] A few years later, Mangold moved to New York and applied to Columbia University's film school,[9] where he graduated with an MFA in film.[11] While there, he studied under film director Miloš Forman who helped him develop the scripts for Heavy and Cop Land.

He has worked as a feature writer and director since 1995, when his first feature, the independent film Heavy, won the best directing prize at the Sundance Film Festival.

Mangold subsequently wrote and directed Cop Land (1997), starring Sylvester Stallone, Robert De Niro, Harvey Keitel, and Ray Liotta;[12] Girl, Interrupted,[9] which won the Best Supporting Actress Oscar in 1999 for Angelina Jolie; Kate & Leopold,[13] starring Meg Ryan and Hugh Jackman, for which Jackman was nominated for a Golden Globe as best actor in a musical or comedy in 2001, and the 2003 thriller Identity which starred John Cusack.[14]

In 2005, Mangold co-wrote (with Gill Dennis), produced (under his production banner, Tree Line Film[15]), and directed Walk the Line, a film about the young life of singer-songwriter Johnny Cash and his relationship with June Carter Cash. Starring Joaquin Phoenix and Reese Witherspoon, it was released on November 18, 2005, to positive reviews and grossed $187 million worldwide. It was nominated for five Oscars and Witherspoon won Best Actress for her performance as June Carter Cash. Mangold also appeared as an actor in The Sweetest Thing as a doctor and love interest to Christina Applegate as well as in his own Kate & Leopold playing a movie director.

In 2007, Mangold directed a Western remake, 3:10 to Yuma, starring Russell Crowe and Christian Bale; it received positive reviews and grossed around $71 million worldwide.

In June 2011, Mangold was hired, initially just to direct the X-Men movie The Wolverine. Along with screenwriters Christopher McQuarrie, Scott Frank and Mark Bomback, Mangold also adapted the screenplay based upon Frank Miller and Chris Claremont's Japanese Wolverine saga and entered production in Japan and Australia in July 2012. He completed photography in November of the same year. On release, it was a box office success, ending up with a worldwide gross of $414,828,246 with a budget of $120 million, according to Box Office Mojo.[16]

Following the box office success and moderate critical response to The Wolverine, Mangold signed on to write the story and direct the sequel, Logan (2017). The film marked Mangold and Jackman's third collaboration. Scott Frank was hired to return as co-screenwriter, working as a team with Mangold and Michael Green.[17] The development of the film was lengthy, with Jackman citing his and Mangold's desire to do the character justice for his last time in the role.[18][19] The film incorporated elements from Mark Millar's Old Man Logan run on the comics.[20] Mangold has stated that the plot primarily focuses on character development, rather than superhero spectacle.[21] Logan was a commercial success, and received high praise for its gritty approach on the titular character and emotional depth. Often called one of the greatest superhero films of all time, the movie also earned an Academy Award nomination for Best Adapted Screenplay, becoming the first live-action superhero movie to be nominated for Adapted Screenplay, as well as Mangold's first Oscar nomination.[22][23]

In February 2018, it was announced that Mangold was set to direct a film about the 1966 24 Hours of Le Mans, with Christian Bale and Matt Damon starring as Ken Miles and Carroll Shelby respectively, and Jez Butterworth, John-Henry Butterworth and Jason Keller writing the script.[24] The film, titled Ford v Ferrari, was released in November 2019 to critical acclaim and became a box office success, grossing $225 million worldwide. The film received 4 nominations including Best Picture, with two wins for Best Film Editing and Best Sound Editing at the 92nd Academy Awards.[25][26]

In February 2020, it was announced that Mangold was in talks to direct the untitled fifth Indiana Jones film, taking over for Steven Spielberg, who previously directed the first four films in the franchise, will instead act as producer.[27] In May 2020, it was officially confirmed that Mangold will serve as director.[28] Filming began in the United Kingdom in June 2021, and wrapped in February 2022.[29][30] The film is expected to be released on June 30, 2023.[31]

Unrealized and upcoming projects

In February 2008, Mangold was one of several directors approached to replace Mark Romanek on The Wolfman.[32] The studio ultimately went with Joe Johnston.

In January 2009, Mangold was signed by Universal Pictures to direct Juliet, based on the novel by Danish author Anne Fortier.[33] In 2011 Paramount acquired the rights of the movie with the writers Eyal Podell, Jonathon E. Stewart, Aryan Saha, Chad and Dara Creasey on board to develop the script.[34]

In February 2009, The Hollywood Reporter revealed that Mangold was to direct and produce an untitled true-life drama for Bold Films.[35] Sasha Jenson and Casey La Scala, who discovered the story and brought Mangold on board, wrote the screenplay which revolves around two brothers, both lawyers in New Orleans, who take on a multnational oil company to seek justice for the families of workers killed when a typhoon sinks their rig in the South China Sea.[36]

In December 2010, it was reported that Mangold was attached to direct The Gunslinger, a revenge thriller for New Regency written by John Hlavin. Described as a contemporary Western, it centers on an ex-Texas Ranger who sets out to punish the men who killed his brother.[37]

In May 2013, it was announced that Reese Witherspoon would be reuniting with Mangold for Three Little Words, an adaptation of Ashley Rhodes-Courter's memoir. Amanda Seyfried was also in talks to play a young Gay Courter. The project, written by Lewis Colick and Michael Petroni, was to have begun shooting later in September of that year.[38]

On March 4, 2014, Mangold was attached to direct the film adaptation of John D. MacDonald's mystery paperback The Deep Blue Good-by which was to be produced by Leonardo DiCaprio, Jennifer Davisson-Killoran and Amy Robinson. Dana Stevens and Kario Salem wrote the first draft.[39] On July 15, Christian Bale was attached to play the title role for the film The Deep Blue Good-by with screenplay by Dennis Lehane.[40] On February 25, 2015, it was reported that Rosamund Pike had landed the female lead in the film.[41] On August 24, the production was shelved due to Bale's knee injury.[42]

In May 2014, sources told The Hollywood Reporter that Mangold was in early talks to direct an untitled biopic about football quarterback Joe Namath for Fox 2000 Pictures. The film would have reteamed Mangold with 3:10 to Yuma screenwriters Michael Brandt and Derek Haas.[43]

In February 2016, Mangold signed on to helm Disney's Captain Nemo, an origin story based on Jules Verne's Twenty Thousand Leagues Under the Seas that has Sebastian Gutierrez working on the latest draft. Production was to have begun in Fall of that year.[44]

In March 2017, Mangold was in negotiations with Fox to develop and direct an adaptation of Don Winslow's upcoming novel The Force about corrupt NYPD officers.[45] In June 2017, Fox set a release date for The Force for March 1, 2019.[46] The release date was not met, as the film was still in development.

In November 2017, it was reported that Mangold was attached to direct Crenshaw, a feature adaption of a children's book from Newbery-winning author Katherine Applegate for Fox.[47]

On December 6, 2017, it was reported that Mangold was to direct Elle Fanning in a yet-titled Patty Hearst biopic based on author Jeffrey Toobin's American Heiress, with a screenplay by Mangold and Scott Alexander and Larry Karaszewski. According to the Hearst logline, the film "traces the audacious, kaleidoscopic and psychologically twisted story of a true-life Alice in Wonderland."[48] On January 11, 2018, Fox opted not to move forward with the film after a statement Hearst made condemning Toobin's book, saying it "romanticizes my rape and torture and calls my abduction a 'rollicking adventure'."[49]

In January 2020, it was announced that Mangold would direct a biopic featuring the life of the singer Bob Dylan, with Timothée Chalamet starring as Dylan.[50]

On May 27, 2020, Mangold revealed that back in 2010 he had pitched HBO a television adaptation of Neil Gaiman's The Sandman. According to Mangold, the project never materialized due to a "political turf war at WB".[51][52]

In February 2022, it was announced that Mangold would direct and produce a biopic of Buster Keaton at 20th Century Studios, based on Marion Meade's 1995 book Buster Keaton: Cut to the Chase.[53]
