Frank Spotnitz (né le 17 novembre 1960 à Camp Zama, Japon) est un scénariste et producteur de télévision américain.

Biography

Frank Spotnitz a étudié la littérature anglaise à UCLA puis l'écriture de scénarios à l'American Film Institute. Il a été journaliste avant d'être engagé sur la série X-Files à partir de la deuxième saison de celle-ci après que Chris Carter, qui l'avait rencontré dans un club de lecture, lui eut demandé quelques idées de scénarios. Après Chris Carter, il a été le deuxième scénariste le plus prolifique de la série et a contribué à développer l'arc narratif de la mythologie de la série sur la conspiration et les extraterrestres. Il a été également impliqué dans l'écriture des scénarios des deux films dérivés de la série.

Après X-Files, il a notamment participé à la création de la série Night Stalker : Le Guetteur, puis a travaillé au Royaume-Uni en 2011 et 2012 sur les séries Strike Back et Hunted.

En 2015, il est engagé pour écrire le pilote de la série The Man in the High Castle, dont la production d'une saison complète est confirmée plus tard dans l'année.

Il est marié à Melissa Lefante, avec qui il a eu quatre enfants.

The film opens in what will become North Texas, 35,000 BC. Entering a cave, a hunter stumbles upon a large extraterrestrial lifeform. They fight and the caveman wins, stabbing the creature to death, but he is also infected by a black oil-like substance which crawls into his skin. In 1998, in the same area, when a group of boys are digging a deep hole, a young boy named Stevie (Lucas Black) falls down the hole and finds a human skull. As he holds it, black oil seeps into his body until it reaches his head, causing his eyes to turn black. Four firefighters descend into the hole to rescue him but do not come out. A team of biohazard-suited men arrives on the scene.
