George Nolfi is a renowned American writer-director, notable for his contributions to several critically acclaimed films, including the Bourne Ultimatum, Oceans Twelve, and The Adjustment Bureau.
Nolfi's illustrious career began with his screenwriting credit for adapting Michael Crichton's bestseller, Timeline. In 2004, he adapted his spec screenplay, Honor Among Thieves, into Ocean's Twelve, and shortly after, he rewrote the ending of Bourne Supremacy, mere weeks before its release. His continued collaboration with Matt Damon led to his co-writing of Bourne Ultimatum in 2007.
Nolfi's directorial debut, The Adjustment Bureau, starring Emily Blunt and Matt Damon, marked a significant milestone in his career. The film received widespread acclaim, further solidifying his reputation as a skilled writer-director.
Born in Massachusetts, Nolfi graduated from Princeton University with plans to pursue a career in government and academia. He later studied at Oxford University on a prestigious Marshall Scholarship, and was on the verge of completing his PhD dissertation in political science at UCLA when his spec script, Pathfinder, sold in a high-stakes bidding war, ultimately convincing him to shift his focus towards a career in the film industry.
