Producer Jon Landau began in the business as a post-production supervisor and production manager before earning his first producing credit on "Campus Man" (1987). After co-producing "Honey, I Shrunk the Kids" (1989) and Warren Beatty's "Dick Tracy" (1990), he served as vice president of feature productions at 20th Century Fox, where he began his professional relationship with director James Cameron with "True Lies" (1994). During his five-and-a-half year tenure at Fox, Landau supervised production on many films, including "Die Hard 2" (1990), John Hughes' "Home Alone" (1990) and its sequel "Home Alone 2: Lost in New York" (1992), "The Last of the Mohicans" (1992), "Mrs. Doubtfire" (1993), "Waiting to Exhale" (1995) and "Broken Arrow" (1996). He returned to the producing ranks on what reportedly became the most expensive film made to date, Cameron's blockbuster "Titanic" (1997).
Academy Award winning producer Jon Landau is considered one of the film industry’s foremost producers. Landau has repeatedly demonstrated an ability to oversee and deliver major motion pictures, evidenced by Landau’s success producing Twentieth Century Fox and Paramount Picture’s “Titanic.” With its record shattering response at the box office, its universal critical acclaim and a record tying eleven Academy Awards, “Titanic” is a living testimony to Landau’s commitment to high quality filmmaking. The combination of Landau’s thorough understanding of the most complex, state of the art visual effect technologies and his ability to work hand and hand with the highest caliber of creative talent has enabled him to play a significant role in numerous major motion pictures. In addition to producing James Cameron’s “Titanic,” Landau co-produced Warren Beatty’s movie classic, “Dick Tracy,” and the family comedy hit, “Honey, I Shrunk the Kids.” Throughout the early 1990’s, Landau was Executive Vice President of Feature Film Production at Twentieth Century Fox. During his five-and-a-half years in that position, he supervised production on all major motion pictures from Fox including “Die Hard II,” “Mrs. Doubtfire,” “True Lies,” “Last of the Mohicans,” “Home Alone,” “Alien 3,” “Broken Arrow” and many more blockbuster hits. Currently, Landau’s company, Lightstorm Entertainment, is developing over 20 projects the company intends to produce over the next five years. Most recently, Landau’s producer talents have been applied to the science fiction film “Solaris,” directed by Academy Award winner Steven Soderberg. The film, which Landau is producing along with his Lightstorm Entertainment partners James Cameron and Rae Sanchini, was released in December 2002 through Twentieth Century Fox.
