After completing a literature degree, Oliver Butcher began his career in documentaries and advertising, before selling his first movie project to George Harrison’s HandMade Films in 1988. Since then, he has worked as a screenwriter for all the major US studios. He began by writing comedies (Dr. Jekyll and Ms. Hyde - 1995), until focusing on his real enthusiasm - thrillers. 2011’s ’Unknown’ starring Liam Neeson, written in collaboration with Stephen Cornwell, was one of his last studio credit, with their new film ‘Message From The King’ released in 2017. Oliver wrote a pilot episode for ’Woman Of The Dead’ (a series based on Bernhard Aichner’s bestselling thriller for A&E/Lifetime) and the Bible and two episodes of a new serie, ‘Faceless’ with Virginie BRAC and most recently, the pilot of "Klaas" for B2 Productions.
