Scott Alexander and Larry Karaszewski

Scott Alexander and Larry Karaszewski are a Hollywood screenwriting team. They met at the University of Southern California where they were roommates.

Their first success was the popular but critically derided comedy Problem Child (1990). Alexander and Karaszewski claim that their original screenplay was a sophisticated black comedy but that the studio watered it down into an unrecognizable state.

In 1994, Alexander and Karaszewski persuaded Tim Burton to direct a biopic about the worst film director in the world, Edward D. Wood, Jr.. They wrote the screenplay in six weeks; the film was titled simply Ed Wood.

Their subsequent films include The People vs. Larry Flynt (1996), the Andy Kaufman biopic Man on the Moon (1999) and Agent Cody Banks (2003).

They wrote a script about Robert Ripley called Believe it or Not. The script languished in "development hell" for a long time until Paramount Pictures announced in November 2005 that the film was moving ahead with Tim Burton directing and starring Jim Carrey. The writing team has also adapted a Stephen King short story called 1408, scheduled to be released in 2007.
