Connection
James Mangold is a Actor, Director, Scriptwriter, Executive Producer and Thanks American born on 16 december 1963 at New York City (USA)
James Mangold is an American film director and screenwriter. He is perhaps best known for Walk the Line (2005), which he co-wrote and directed.
Débuts de scénariste/réalisateur (années 1990)
Révélé par l'écriture et la réalisation du drame indépendant Heavy, sorti en 1995, James Mangold enchaîne avec deux films tout aussi noirs, et plus violents : le drame crépusculaire Cop Land, sorti en 1997, et porté par l'interprétation de Sylvester Stallone, puis le thriller psychologique Une vie volée, cette fois-ci construit autour de l'interprétation d'Angelina Jolie, secondée par Winona Ryder. La réception critique est néanmoins beaucoup plus mitigée pour ce troisième essai.
Diversification (années 2000)
Les années 2000 seront celles de la diversification : il signe ainsi la comédie romantique Kate et Léopold en 2001, menée par deux stars, Meg Ryan et Hugh Jackman. En 2003, il revient au thriller , avec Identity, dont il ne signe pas, pour la première fois, le scénario. La réception critique est mitigée.
En 2005, il revient à l'écriture pour Walk the Line, un film biographique sur le chanteur Johnny Cash. Le film est acclamé par la critique, qui salue notamment une direction d'acteurs impeccable. Tandis que Joaquin Phoenix impressionne dans le rôle-titre, Reese Witherspoon rafle l'Oscar de la meilleure actrice dans un second rôle, pour son incarnation de June Carter.
À la suite de cette reconnaissance critique, Mangold passe à la production : en 2006, il réalise l'épisode pilote d'une nouvelle série télévisée, Men in Trees, sur laquelle il officie aussi en tant que producteur durant les deux saisons.
Côté cinéma, il accepte l'offre de Columbia de signer la mise en scène du western 3 h 10 pour Yuma, dont les rôles principaux sont confiés, après de multiples changements, à Christian Bale et Russell Crowe. Ce remake du film du même nom de Delmer Daves de 1957, est le plus gros succès critique du réalisateur, à défaut de vraiment être un succès au box-office 2007.
Passage aux blockbusters (années 2010)
En 2010, il accepte de réaliser un projet plus ouvertement commercial : la comédie d'action Night and Day, menée par le tandem de stars Tom Cruise/Cameron Diaz. Les critiques accueillent fraichement le film.
En 2012, il signe aussi les pilotes de deux autres séries télévisées pour la chaîne CBS : le thriller Vegas et la policière NYC 22. Les deux programmes sont arrêtés au terme d'une seule saison, faute d'audiences.
En juin 2011, il est choisi par la 20th Century Fox pour remplacer à la dernière minute le cinéaste Darren Aronofsky à la réalisation d'un autre blockbuster, The Wolverine, et ce sur recommandation de la star Hugh Jackman.
Il finit aussi par retravailler le scénario, dont l'action se situe au Japon. Sorti en 2013, ce second opus est très bien reçu, et connait un large succès commercial à l'international.
Le cinéaste retrouve donc le poste pour Logan, le troisième et dernier chapitre de la trilogie, sortit en mars 2017.
Il devrait enchaîner par la suite avec le tournage du blockbuster Captain Nemo, une libre adaptation du classique littéraire Vingt mille lieues sous les mers, de Jules Verne, pour les studios Disney.

In 1876, Prince Leopold Mountbatten, Duke of Albany (Hugh Jackman), is a stifled dreamer. His strict uncle Millard (Paxton Whitehead) has no patience for his disrespect for the monarchy, chastising him and telling him he must marry a rich American, as the Mountbatten family finances are depleted. After his uncle told him that on his "thirtieth birthday he had become a blemish to the family name", Leopold counters that the new nobility is to be found in those who pursue initiatives, hence his interest in the sciences.

Au début des années 1960, la Ford Motor Company connait des problèmes financiers. Henry Ford II met alors la pression à ses employés pour trouver des solutions. Lee Iacocca suggère alors de relancer la marque dans l'univers de la compétition automobile. Il est alors envisagé que Ford rachète Ferrari. Mais la rencontre avec Enzo Ferrari tourne au fiasco et c'est finalement Fiat qui signe l'accord. Le « Commendatore » est même très insultant envers la marque américaine et son patron, Henry Ford II. Ce dernier, piqué au vif, en fait une affaire personnelle. Ford décide alors de faire appel à Carroll Shelby, le seul américain vainqueur des 24 Heures du Mans (en 1959). Il est chargé de construire une voiture capable d'anéantir la suprématie de Ferrari pour les 24 Heures du Mans 1966. Carroll Shelby va ainsi développer la Ford GT40 Mk II avec l'aide de Ken Miles, un pilote au caractère bien trempé qui ne plait pas trop au sein de Ford.

The film begins with Tyler (Patrick Probst) and little brother Logan (Leo Howard) at the movie theater watching a brand new action film, that Tyler thinks was amazing, while Logan thinks it was bad and had no content. Then Logan tells Tyler about his plans to make a movie. Tyler says that he can make a movie. Then, while looking for actors, and crew workers, he faces rejection from his peers at school and his careless parents at home. Then Logan turns to the one he can always count on- Tyler. But when Tyler gets mad at Logan because of a misunderstanding about losing his jacket for his concert, Tyler tells Logan that the movie was a stupid idea, and that it was so bad he couldn't even finish reading it. He tells Logan, "you're only doing this for the attention anyway. It's not worth it. You're never gonna finish it, Logan". Then, while the parents are out and Tyler is at his band concert, Logan does what Tyler never thought he would- he tries to hang himself. Tyler comes up after getting angry at his orchestra leader, he looks all over the house trying to find Logan- and when he does, he is hanging from a tree in the backyard. Logan lives but if Tyler was two minutes late, he would have been brain dead. Although Tyler tries to get through the tragedy with the help of his friends, Ben (Booboo Stewart) and Carlie (Nicole Cummins), he just cannot. At the turn of the unexpected tragedy, the brothers' relationship is altered forever and Tyler is challenged to do whatever it takes to see his little brother's project succeed, even if that means risking it all.
