Chad Law

Chad Law was born on Feb 23, 1979 in USA. Chad Law's big-screen debut came with Hero Wanted directed by Brian Smrz in 2008.

Born and raised in the small town of Farmland, Indiana, Hollywood screenwriter Chad Law is the oldest child of Ed and Nancy Law. His love for film started at a very early age when his father began taking him to genre films such as "Stephen King's Silver Bullet", "The Lost Boys" and "Big Trouble in Little China". After receiving their own video camera for Christmas, Chad and his brother Evan set forth to shoot over 75 homemade movies while growing up, most of which he "starred" in and "directed."Although he had always loved creating stories it wasn't until he had almost finished college and after he had just seen "the latest vampire movie" that he actually sat down to write his first screenplay ("Night Class"). Although it was never produced and Chad never developed the script further it did trigger him to write more. Chad's next screenplay, an action-horror project entitled "Daylight's End" went on to place fairly high in Matt Damon and Ben Affleck's Project Greenlight competition just a few short days after a rough draft was completed and would later be produced in 2016 under the direction of William Kaufman and starring Johnny Strong and Lance Henriksen. Chad's first produced film, however, the crime-drama "Hero Wanted", starring Cuba Gooding, Jr., Norman Reedus, Ray Liotta, Tommy Flanagan, Kim Coates and Jean Smart, went into production in April 2007 for Avi Lerner's Millennium Films. His next, "The Hit List", starring Cole Hauser and Cuba Gooding, Jr., went into production in February 2010 for Sony Pictures' Stage 6 Films.Now rather well know in the independent action film world, Chad's other writing credits include "Six Bullets", starring Jean Claude Van Damme, "Close Range", starring Scott Adkins, "Drive Hard", starring John Cusack and Thomas Jane, "Isolation", starring Dominic Purcell, Stephen Lang, Tricia Helfer and Marie Avgeropoulos, "Beyond The Law", starring Johnny Messner, Steven Seagal and DMX, "The Shadow Effect", starring Jonathan Rhys Meyers, Cam Gigandet and Michael Biehn, "Hollow Point", starring Luke Goss, Jay Mohr, Bill Duke and Juju Chan, and "BlackWater", which re-teamed Jean Claude Van Damme and Dolph Lundgren and grossed over 8 million dollars in theaters during its opening weekend in China.
