Biography [edit]

Early life [edit]

Fried was born in Omaha, Nebraska.

Film career [edit]

Shortly after graduating from the USC School of Cinematic Arts, Fried's first screenplay, a fairy tale mash-up entitled The Ever After Murders was featured on Franklin Leonard's compendium of 2010's best unproduced screenplays, the Black List.[2]

In late 2011, Fried's second screenplay Gaslight was also featured on the Black List.[3] During the same month, Fried was featured on The Tracking Board's "best unproduced screenplay" roster, The Hit List.[4] Shortly thereafter, Fried sold his first feature film pitch Spectral which was picked up by Legendary Pictures where it is currently in development for a tentative 2014 release.[5]

Following the surprise success of its horror movie The Woman in Black (2012 film), Exclusive Media’s genre arm Hammer Films purchased Fried's Gothic Horror Thriller, Gaslight.[6] In Gaslight, Jack the Ripper, secretly imprisoned in a London insane asylum, is called upon to help Scotland yard solve a series if murders that share the iconic death brand: dual puncture wounds to the neck.
