Jorge Saralegui

Jorge Manuel Saralegui (born 1953)[1][2] is a Cuban-American film producer and screenwriter.[1] Born in Cuba, he was raised in Bronxville, New York,[1] later graduating with a degree in creative writing from Antioch College.[3]

Career

In 1987, he relocated to Los Angeles, California to pursue script writing. A year later, he was hired as a studio reader at Universal Pictures.[1] Following a brief stint as a story analyst at Daniel Melnick's The IndieProd Company, he joined 20th Century Fox in 1989 as a script reader.[4][5]

At Fox, he was promoted to a junior creative executive position, then, in June 1995, to senior vice-president of production. Two years later, he was appointed executive vice-president of production.[4] There, Saralegui ushered Speed, Independence Day, Broken Arrow and Die Hard With a Vengeance through the development and production processes, and oversaw the productions of Speed 2: Cruise Control, Alien: Resurrection and Great Expectations.[6]

In late 1997, he negotiated with studios to launch his own film label,[6] settling at Warner Bros. in 1998, where he founded on-lot production company Material Films,[1][7] with Channing Dungey serving as president.[8][9]

In 2005, he co-founded horror film production company Midnight Picture Show with Clive Barker.[10]

Fiction

His writings have appeared in literary magazines and an anthology, Latinos in Lotusland.[3] Saralegui's first novel, Last Rites, was published by Putnam Berkley in 1985,[11] followed by Shadow Stalker in 1987, then Looker in 1990.[12]

A fourth novel, Sentimental Surgery, was a quarterfinalist in the 2019 ScreenCraft Cinematic Book Competition.[13]
