Biography
Martin Brest is an American director, screenwriter, and producer. He studied at NYU's Tisch School of the Arts, graduating with the short comedy Hot Dogs for Gauguin (1972), featuring future star Danny DeVito in the lead.
Working with big-name stars is as characteristic for Brest as the comedies that dominate his filmography, but his successes have been uneven: while the comedies Going in Style (1979), Midnight Run (1988, with Robert De Niro), and Beverly Hills Cop (1984, with Eddie Murphy) were praised by audiences and critics alike, his romantic comedy Gigli (2003, with Ben Affleck and Jennifer Lopez) was universally panned. Thus far the high watermark of his output is the original remake of the famed Italian comedy Scent of a Woman, winner of three Golden Globes.
