Courtney Solomon is an accomplished writer, director, producer and entrepreneur who is responsible for the creation of several franchises and has been involved with the production, marketing and distribution of over 80 films creating a significant film library.
Solomon grew up in Toronto, Canada where he spent much of his childhood on film sets where is mother worked in various film crew capacities. At the age of 19, Solomon formed Sweetpea Entertainment, the first of what would become many production companies, to fulfill his vision to acquire the rights and bring the world famous "DUNGEONS & DRAGONS" property to the big screen. At the age of 26, Dungeons and Dragons became his first producing and directing project and went on to gross over $75M globally. Two other D&D films were made in cooperation with Silver Pictures, and in 2023 "DUNGEONS & DRAGONS: HONOR AMONG THIVES" which banked $208M Worldwide at the box office for Paramount Pictures, starring Chris Pine, Michelle Rodriguez & Regé-Jean Page.
Thereafter, Solomon formed After Dark Films a label to produce horror, thriller and action titles. He launched After Dark with "AN AMERICAN HAUNTING" starring Donald Sutherland and Sissy Spacek based on the well-known Bell Witch legend. He wrote, produced, and directed the film. Solomon became one of the first producers to raise funds to market and distribute the film theatrically wide in the US. Personally handling the entire release campaign with no prior experience, Haunting was released on over 1750 screens and opened #2 in US staying in the top ten films for six weeks. The success of An American Haunting resulted in a long term distribution and co-production arrangement with Lionsgate Films.
Another of Solomon's creations, "8 FILMS TO DIE FOR" a one weekend only Rocky Horror Like Horror film festival which played 8 Films in hundreds of theaters nationwide over one weekend. 8 Films encouraged horror fans to dress as their favorite horror characters and "make a weekend of it" while they took over theaters across the country. 8 Films To Die For became an annual event for six years. Using the same format, Solomon also created a spin-off series of five action films ("ActionFest") in co-operation with Warner Bros. Today, After Dark's film library includes over 80 films.
In 2014, Solomon partnered with Mark Canton one of Hollywood's most prolific studio heads (Sony) and Producers (300) on a slate of Dramatic Feature films which included the critically acclaimed "CAKE" starring Jennifer Aniston who was nominated for best actress by SAG, BFCA and the Golden Globes for her performance. Other films in the slate included "MR.CHURCH" starring Eddie Murphy, "THE COMEDIAN" Starring Robert DeNiro and Leslie Mann, "THE YELLOW BIRDS" starring Tye Sheridan, Alden Ehrenreich, Jack Huston, Jennifer Aniston and Toni Collette and "BURN YOUR MAPS" which won multiple film festivals and stars Vera Farmiga and Jacob Trembley.
In 2018, Solomon acquired the rights and produced the first film based on the world wide phenomenon and bestselling novel series "AFTER" . The film was released in April 2019 and became an international hit opening #1 in 22 countries grossing $80M Worldwide at theaters. The sequel, "AFTER WE COLLIDED", will be released in 2020.
In 2018, Solomon acquired the rights to the world famous underground comic universe of the "Fabulous Furry Freak Brothers". Created by Gilbert Shelton in 1968 and distributed through underground presses because of the racy nature of the comics, the Freak Brothers and their unnamed Cat became the hilarious and witty voice for Cannabis around the world. The series "THE FREAK BROTHERS" debuted in 2020. Through the series, Solomon is making his first foray into the amazing world of Adult Animation with a super talented team of seasoned writers and actors to bring the Freaks to life.
Solomon recently wrapped production on the cult classic remake of "THE STRANGERS," a trilogy of movies with Lionsgate directed by Renny Harlin starring Madelaine Petsch, Froy Gutierrez & Gabriel Basso.

As flamboyant as any character in his movies, Joel Silver can be credited along with Jerry Bruckheimer as practically reinventing the action film genre in the 1980s. Born in New Jersey, he attended the New York University Film School. After college, he worked at Lawrence Gordon Pictures, earning his first onscreen credit as associate producer of The Warriors (1979). He eventually became president of the motion picture division of Gordon Pictures. Together with Gordon, Silver produced 48 Hrs. (1982) and Streets of Fire (1984). In 1983 he formed Silver Pictures and initially set up shop at Universal Pictures to produce Brewster's Millions (1985) before going to Fox and continued producing hit action films such as Commando (1985), the "Lethal Weapon" franchise, the first two films of the "Die Hard" franchise and the three films of "Matrix" franchise of action films. He had then subsequently joined Warner Bros. in 1987 after leaving Fox. Despite these successes, he has hit some rough spots and has been banned from working on several studio lots. He was unable to produce the "48 Hrs" sequel Another 48 Hrs. (1990), the third "Die Hard" film, Die Hard with a Vengeance (1995) and the fourth "Matrix" installment The Matrix Resurrections (2021) because of past run-ins with studio executives. Because of his habit of wearing sport shirts and talking loudly and quickly, he has been parodied in several films, even spoofing himself in Who Framed Roger Rabbit (1988) by playing the frustrated cartoon director in the film's opening sequence. In order to perform in that role, he had to use an alias to get onto the Walt Disney lot, and his onscreen credit was not revealed to Disney executives until the very last minute. He had worked in television, setting up his own television branch with his first project Parker Kane (1990), a project that would eventually never made to series, and then worked at HBO for many years, until he found a home at Warner Bros. Television in 1998, where he had developed two UPN shows The Strip (1999) and Freedom (2000) before finding commercial success with the hit Veronica Mars (2004). In 1999, Silver Pictures had teamed up with film director/producer Robert Zemeckis to set up Dark Castle Entertainment to produce genre and horror films with the first film under Dark Castle being House on Haunted Hill (1999). Joel Silver pioneered the practice of shooting action movies in Australia with the "Matrix" films, and has been credited with either inventing or reinventing the careers of Eddie Murphy, Arnold Schwarzenegger and Steven Seagal. He was mentioned in Halle Berry's Academy Award acceptance speech. Other credits include non-action pictures, ranging from Xanadu (1980), Weird Science (1985) and Fred Claus (2007) to HBO's long-running TV series, Tales from the Crypt (1989). He had resigned from his founding production company in 2019.- Producer
