JEFFREY CAINE (Screenplay)

Born in London, Jeffrey Caine was educated at the Universities of Sussex and Leeds. He taught English in schools and colleges for four years before becoming a professional writer.

An author of scripts for television and film, Mr. Caine is also the author of several novels. One, Heathcliff, tells the story of the "missing" years of Emily Brontë's romantic hero, following his adventures in the criminal underworld of 18^th-century London and his education there by a lady of fashion.

His television works include the police drama series The Chief, starring Tim Pigott-Smith and Martin Shaw, which ran successfully for five seasons on Britain's Independent Television network and for which, as writer and series creator, Mr. Caine was nominated for a British Television Society Award. His screenplays include GoldenEye, directed by Martin Campbell, which established Pierce Brosnan as James Bond. His adaptation of the John le Carré book The Constant Gardener has just completed filming under director Fernando Meirelles and will be released by Focus Features.
