Biography

Steve Hoban was born in Ottawa, Ontario, Canada, in 1964.[1] Hoban told Screen International that his favorite film is Taken, but not for creative reasons; Hoban said that he admires the film for its repeatable business model and success at the American box office despite its lack of traditional indicators of success.[2]

Career

Hoban and director Vincenzo Natali are friends and have collaborated on several films,[3] including Nothing, Splice, and Haunter. Hoban has also collaborated with Chris Landreth on animated shorts, including The Spine and Ryan, which won an Academy Award.[4]

In 2001, Hoban co-founded 49th Parallel, a Montreal-based film production company. Among the early projects that they produced was Natali's 2003 film Nothing and Landreth's 2004 short Ryan.[5] Hoban's new company, Copperheart Entertainment, is based in Toronto.[6]

In 2013, he collaborated with Natali again to produce and direct the television series Darknet.[7] This was his directorial debut.[8]

A television adaptation of William Gibson's The Peripheral was put into development in April 2018,[9] with Hoban an executive producer.[10]
