Lochhead attended Vancouver Film School's Writing for Film & Television program, where he wrote his first screenplay, Hanna, while he was in his early 20s.[1][2] He completed the script after leaving film school[3] and in 2006 it was listed on the Hollywood Black List of the best unproduced scripts in Hollywood.[4][5] Lochhead sold the screenplay to Focus Features in March 2007, although he received a much higher bid from another American production company.[4][6]Hanna was directed by Joe Wright and released in 2011 after being in development for a total of six years.[7] Lochhead shared the writing credit with David Farr, a British writer and theatre director, who wrote another draft of the film during its development but whom Lochhead does not personally know.[7] He has been chosen to write for the upcoming Shadow of the Colossus movie.[8]
Before Hanna had been produced, Lochhead was approached to pitch himself as a writer for Sherlock Holmes: A Game of Shadows and a film adaptation of the Masters of the Universe series featuring He-Man.[7] He has written several screenplays since Hanna, including Cadar, which was sold to Spitfire Pictures, and Governess, which was picked up by Warner Bros. with Michael Bay as a producer.[9] He has considered becoming a film director in addition to screenwriting, as well as relocating to Los Angeles.[10]
Personal life
Lochhead currently lives in Vancouver with his girlfriend.[9]
His mother is a feminist and his father is a skilled fisherman and carpenter; Lochhead has said they both influenced his self-sufficiency.[1]
