Bennett Joshua Davlin graduated from Tulane University in New Orleans and began his career in films as a screenwriter in Los Angeles in late 1999. He was first represented by The William Morris Agency and Michael Ovitz’s AMG. Bennett is currently
represented by ICM (International Creative Management). His first screenplay, the religious thriller "The Shroud", was sold in 2000 to an independent producer. Davlin then wrote, produced, and directed the award winning sci fi short film "TC3" which was shown in competition in 2002 at The East Hampton, Woods Hole, Nantucket, Boston, and New York Film Festivals. Also in 2002, Davlin wrote the script "Terracotta Warriors" for Jackie Chan’s Hong Kong based production company. Although this script was ultimately not produced, Jackie Chan commissioned a second script from Davlin called "The Medallion", costing 40 million dollars and released by Sony/ Tristar films in 2003. The film starred Jackie Chan, Claire Forlani, and Lee Evans.
That same year Davlin began work on his original novel "Memory" which was published in North America by The Berkley imprint of The Penguin Putnam Group. Random House published the novel in Australia. The book was translated into German by Random House/ Binvalet and released in Germany and Austria. The novel was also translated into Bulgarian, into Thai by Pearl Books, and into Japanese by Sony Books which is releasing it this fall.
In late 2004, Davlin independently raised 3.5 million dollars and wrote, produced, and directed the film adaptation of the novel "Memory". The movie starred two time Academy Award nominee Dennis Hopper, Two Time Academy Award nominee Ann-Margret, “Titanic’s” Billy Zane, and “Battlestar Galactica’s” Tricia Helfer. Davlin personally storyboarded over 1600 shots by hand and filmed the storyboards, adding 4,000 Foley sounds, and a complete music design to create a full length pre-animation of the film (running time of 1 hr 35 min). Davlin then wrote, directed, and produced the movie in Vancouver British Columbia, Rio De Janeiro, Brazil, and Los Angeles.
Memory was unveiled at the Cannes Film Market and was sold in all international territories. It received a national theatrical release in North America on March 21st of 2007. It was released on DVD in May of 2007. Warner Bros. is releasing the film on pay per view/ video on demand this fall. Film critic Peter Debruge of Variety calls the movie “intriguing” and says “the grand finale would be right at home in a Brian De Palma film”
Davlin has currently written the first installment of the three part family action / comedy"The Omega Kids Trilogy". Davlin has completed the sexual thriller novel"The Modern Art of Dating". He has just finished co-adapting the sexual/psychological thriller as a movie which he is currently set to write, produce, and direct through his production company 3210 Films Inc.
