Background


Lemke was born in 1969/1970. Raised in Carlstadt, New Jersey, he went to Paramus Catholic High School in Paramus, New Jersey. After high school, he attended the School of Visual Arts in Manhattan, New York to study screenwriting.[2] In 1997, he sold two pitches to Touchstone Pictures for Tony Scott to direct;[3] one of the pitches became Gemini Man, which was released in 2019.[4] In 2005, Lemke pitched the idea of adapting the English fairy tale "Jack and the Beanstalk" with computer-generated imagery. By 2013, Jack the Giant Slayer was directed by Bryan Singer.[5]
