Danny Bilson is a writer, director, and producer in movies, television,
videogames, and comic books. With his writing partner Paul DeMeo, Danny
Bilson wrote the movie The Rocketeer (1991), the videogame James Bond 007:
Everything or Nothing (2003), the television series The Sentinel (1996) and
The Flash (1990), and recent issues of the comic book, The Flash. Bilson
also directed and produced The Sentinel and The Flash.
Bilson's scope has been characterized as transmedia. He has adapted comic
books into movies (The Rocketeer), comic books into television (The Flash),
and movies into videogames (James Bond 007: Everything or Nothing). Bilson
and DeMeo's writing has tended toward action and sci-fi genres, emphasizing
more than human heroes and their visceral adventures.
