		Kloves is talking to me on the phone from Los Angeles about the hottest property in Hollywood -- his adaptation of J.K. Rowling's "Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone," the first in the British children's fantasy series that has swept to the top of adult bestseller lists.
		Kloves' tenacity at doing films he wants to do is a trait he shares with Curtis Hanson ("L.A. Confidential"), who directed "Wonder Boys." Indeed, Kloves quips that he's never attracted much attention because "tenacity is the only card I have to play.
		Kloves was born in Austin, Texas, and grew up in Sunnyvale, Calif., at a time when the local industry was aerospace, not computers.

		Yes, Steve was already attached to direct, this was due to his champion, the producer Mark Rosenberg.
		He gave Steve Kloves a lot of great input and his work is largely responsible for the success of the film.
		Yes, working with Beau, Steve and Michelle certainly made this film a wonderful experience, but I think perhaps the main element that caused this movie to be a favorite of mine, was the terrific script that Steve wrote and the superb photography of Michael Ballhaus.

	Steve Kloves, Screenwriter, "Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone"
		Kloves was born in 1960 in Austin, Texas, and grew up in Sunnyvale, in northern California.
		Kloves remembers an attraction to the movies in the late 1960s, when he was barely into elementary school.
		Kloves also got his first look at how one of his own scripts is interpeted by another.

		Steve Kloves (Screenwriter) began his career by writing the screenplay for the 1984 Jaffe-Lansing production 'Racing With The Moon', a World War II era coming-of-age story directed by Richard Benjamin and starring Sean Penn, Elizabeth McGovern and Nicolas Cage in one of his earliest and most important roles.
		The film, which Kloves also wrote, received four Academy Award nominations and Michelle Pfeiffer won a Golden Globe and a BAFTA Award for her performance.

		Steve Kloves, whether as a writer or a writer-director, is a one-picture-at-a-time kind of guy.
		Kloves' roots in Texas and Louisiana drew him to the setting, and he's "proud of a lot if it, especially some of the performances," such as Quaid as the hero and Paltrow as a young scam artist who throws in with Quaid's murderous father.
		Kloves realized that the teacher's prize (and problem) student, played by Maguire, was as crucial to his epiphany as his lover: "I had to drop crumbs along the way establishing their connection." He also had to be flexible about the supporting characters.

		Steve Kloves was the screenwriter for Goblet of Fire, but opted to step down for the fifth movie to spend more time with his family.
		Steve Kloves knows just the right things to put in that add humor and make the movie funny and interesting.
		I cannot, however, accept the fact that Kloves portrayed her as the cliched, fandom Hermione that we have all grown to be annoyed with.

		Kloves even gave Ron an opportunity to be brave in his script for PoA, by having Ron essentially "sacrifice" himself in order to prevent Harry and Hermione from being dragged into the tree with him.
		Kloves is a brilliant script writer, one of the best there is in the business and it really is unfair to have all this hate undeservedly directed towards him.
		There was an interview with JKR and Kloves and she said that they communicate quite often when he's writing the scripts and JKR even said she hopes Kloves keeps writing the scripts so I'm sure she's a fan of his work.

	'Wonder Boys' Chabon and Kloves Winners of 13th USC Scripter Award (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-26)
		Steve Kloves was 23 when his script "Racing With the Moon" was purchased; it was produced in 1984 with a cast of rising stars, including Sean Penn and Nicolas Cage.
		Kloves went on to direct two of his own screenplays, including "The Fabulous Baker Boys" (made when Kloves was not yet 30 and which garnered four Academy Award®; nominations) and "Flesh and Bone," which launched the career of Gwyneth Paltrow.
		His adaptation of "Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone" was the subject of fierce competition among studios to be the first to prepare a film version of the Potter phenomenon.

	FLESH AND BONE - DVD
		Steve Kloves' follow-up to his exceptional The Fabulous Baker Boys is Flesh and Bone, a dark-hued journey through the Southern Gothic that represents career pinnacles for Meg Ryan and (until The Royal Tenenbaums) Gwyneth Paltrow.
		Credit Kloves for a screenplay that first recognizes Quaid and Ryan's strengths (his warmth, her cutesiness), and then undermines them in subtle and disturbing ways.
		One of the great forgotten films of the 1990's, Flesh and Bone is, sadly, Kloves' last film as a hyphenate (he's been relegated of late to screenplay adaptations--one good (Wonder Boys), one not (Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's/Philosopher's Stone))--no doubt banished from behind the camera for the box office failure of this film.

	RollingStone.com: Flesh and Bone Review
		But even when Kloves' contrivances put a strain on the plot, the interior landscape of the characters continues to fascinate.
		Paltrow, the daughter of actress Blythe Danner and producer Bruce Paltrow, nearly steals the picture with a funnyscary portrait of corrupted youth; she's a knockout.
		Kloves sometimes lets the film bog down in the Freudian muck.

		Steve: Well the first thing that you notice when you watch the movie is that Harry and Ron's voices have dropped about two octaves, which is just bizarre.
		Steve: I had the same concern, I just thought, as I was writing, I was thinking "How are we going to do this?" You've got Aragog saying "Who goes there?" basically, you know, this giant spider, and I was saying "This is just going to be hysterical," sorry, I'm laughing as I'm writing it!
		Steve: Yeah, well one thing that you learn about movies is that the thing that you're more worried about often is the thing that's not a problem.

		Steve Kloves and Alfonso Cuaron imagined themselves so totally into Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry that it takes a re-reading of Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban to tell what they invented from what they merely adapted.
		Because Kloves drew on his own creative resources to flesh out this endearing, threadbare character, Lupin's simply talking to Harry on a bridge is the film's most touching scene.
		Kloves tells me he wants to be sure that Chris Columbus, who directed the first two Potter films and was a co-producer on No. 3, gets proper credit for the series.

		Kloves insisted on directing the film himself, which delayed the project for several years.
		Kloves' following film, Flesh and Bone (1993), was not as lucky: Critics praised Kloves' writing and directing, as well as performances by Dennis Quaid, Meg Ryan, James Caan, and Gwyneth Paltrow, but audiences basically ignored the picture.
		Kloves had not even heard of the immensely popular British children's novel, but he knew that it had immeasurable potential.

	Steve Kloves (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-26)
		Kloves began writing professionally after being rejected by the film department at UCLA and taking a job delivering scripts for an agency.
		His third screenplay became his first credit, "Racing With the Moon" (1984), a touching story of young love with Sean Penn, Nicolas Cage and Elizabeth McGovern set during WWII, likably offbeat given the more brash tone of most of the teen films of that period.
		The film set the pattern for Kloves' subsequent efforts: character-driven stories with a cynical edge, measured in their pacing, based to some extent around competitive triangular or parallel relationships.

	The SF Site Featured Review: The Day After Tomorrow
		Its subject is the adolescent transition from childhood into adulthood, and it gladly doesn't pander to an audience that it knows has, by this time, grown old enough to appreciate (often painfully so) that transition, and the often symbolic storytelling used to render it here.
		Screenwriter Steve Kloves (who turned out the previous scripts) keeps his thematic material in the open, without letting it spoil in the air of easy sentiment and cliché.
		The basic method is to complicate things that at first appear simple, and then show how one can adapt with humour and integrity, as Harry absorbs the moral conundrum that sometimes friends can be enemies, and enemies, friends.

		Kloves says that when he first met Rowling, he told her he intuited that Lily "was quite special" and that James "was complicated." And in the bridge scene, Lupin "illuminates Harry about his mother - the most wonderful thing about her was that she was understanding toward Lupin at a time few were.
		She saw something special about him when others, including himself, couldn't." Kloves admits, "I think he was in love with her in many ways."
		Upon discussing the possible theory with Steve, and having done some extra research I TOO believe that James Is really Lupin!
