Terry Hayes est un scénariste, romancier et producteur anglo-australien, né le 8 octobre 1951, dans le Sussex, en Angleterre.

Biography

Né en Angleterre, il émigre dès son plus jeune âge en Australie, où il suit une formation de journaliste.

À vingt et un ans, il est correspondant pour la presse australienne en Amérique du Nord, et est basé à New York. Deux ans après, il retourne à Sydney et y travaille comme journaliste d'investigation, journaliste politique et chroniqueur.

Après plusieurs années en journalisme, il rencontre le réalisateur de cinéma australien George Miller avec qui il collabore à la novélisation du scénario de Mad Max. Miller embauche ensuite Hayes pour écrire avec lui le scénario de Mad Max 2 (1981). Hayes, qui devient ensuite scénariste et producteur pour le cinéma et la télévision, s'installe à Hollywood. Il signe, en 1989, les scénarios de Calme blanc (Dead Calm), adapté d'un roman éponyme de Charles Williams, et de From Hell (2001). Il est également scénariste et producteur de la mini-série télévisée Bangkok Hilton (1989), mettant en vedette Nicole Kidman.

Hayes, qui remporte plus de vingt récompenses en carrière, publie en 2013 son premier roman, le thriller Je suis Pilgrim (I am Pilgrim), rapidement devenu un best-seller international.

Danny Embling (Noah Taylor), now an awkward, underdeveloped 17-year-old, has been sent away by his parents to the all-male St. Albans boarding school in rural New South Wales, Australia, in the hopes he won’t become a delinquent. The year is 1965 and it has been some time since Danny has had any romantic relationship with a girl (his former love, Freya, from The Year My Voice Broke, left him at the end of the first film). Danny is the butt of jokes because of his stutter and long nose (for which he is nicknamed "Bird"). His only friend is Gilbert.
