Bradley Fuller

Biography

Bradley Fuller is an American film and television producer and co-owner of Platinum Dunes, the company he founded around 2001 or 2002 with Michael Bay and Andrew Form. He is best known for a run of commercially successful horror productions in the 2000s and 2010s, from remakes of classic slashers to original franchises.

Fuller comes from a family with roots in exhibition: his parents ran a Los Angeles theatre, a business his grandfather Sherrill C. Corwin expanded, and his grandfather also produced films in the 1970s. He graduated from Wesleyan University in Connecticut in 1987, where Bay was also a student. Before Platinum Dunes he worked as a talent manager and produced smaller films such as Emmett's Mark and A Better Way to Die.

Platinum Dunes built its reputation on horror, reviving titles such as The Texas Chainsaw Massacre, The Amityville Horror, Friday the 13th and A Nightmare on Elm Street, and launching original series like Ouija and The Purge. A Quiet Place, released in 2018, became a major hit, praised for its originality and sound design, and spawned sequels.

Fuller has also worked in television, on series such as Black Sails and The Last Ship, and in 2018 he helped produce Tom Clancy's Jack Ryan. His projects continue with titles such as Elevation and The Caretaker.
