Marcus Nispel (born 26 May 1963)[1] is a retired German film director and producer, best known for several high-profile American remakes such as The Texas Chainsaw Massacre (2003). He has also directed various television commercials and music videos, including C+C Music Factory's "Gonna Make You Sweat (Everybody Dance Now)" and "Things That Make You Go Hmmm...", Janet Jackson's "Runaway", Fugees' "Ready or Not", and Spice Girls' "Spice Up Your Life".
Early life and career
Nispel was born on 26 May 1963[1] in Frankfurt.[2] He grew up near McNair Barracks and was able to learn English from hanging out with children of soldiers.[3] At the age of 15, he got a job at a boutique called Hessler and Kehrer. When he had his first interview at an American ad agency, he was asked what do Oreos mean, and he realized the importance of understanding American culture, and how working in advertising helped him understand that.[4][5] He received a Fulbright Scholarship at the age of 20 and attended Brooklyn College and New York Institute of Technology. He was also an art director for Young & Rubicam. He started a production company, Portfolio Artists Network which later merged with RSA (Ridley Scott Associates) Black Dog Films to form Portfolio/Black Dog. He worked at RSA as a commercial director for several years, resigning in 2000.
Feature career
Nispel was set to make his feature directorial debut with End of Days, but stepped down before shooting due to issues with the budget.[6] In 2002, Nispel signed on to direct The Texas Chainsaw Massacre.[7] He was initially opposed to remaking the film, but Daniel Pearl, the cinematographer for the original film and regular collaborator with Nispel, convinced him to direct. The film was released on October 17, 2003 to negative reviews but was financially successful, grossing $107 million worldwide.
Throughout the 2000s and into the 2010s, Nispel would direct several more remakes of prominent genre films, such as Friday the 13th (reuniting him with Platinum Dunes, who made Texas Chainsaw) and Conan the Barbarian. In 2015, Nispel directed the ghost exorcism film Exeter, formerly titled Backmask.[8]
