A native of Washington D.C., John Pogue became interested in movies when he was in high school. While attending Yale University, he helped create a student production company, and by his senior year he decided to concentrate his talents on screenwriting. After moving to Los Angeles in 1987, Pogue spent the next couple of years holding down a variety of jobs while he honed his screenwriting skills. In 1994, Pogue had sold his first spec script "Man with the Football" to Morgan Creek Productions, months later another spec script "The Damocles Network" was sold, further establishing his reputation for unique, character-driven material. Based on the strength of his work, Pogue was invited to write a sequel to the 1993 blockbuster "The Fugitive", the resulting film was 1998's "U.S. Marshals", starring Tommy Lee Jones, Wesley Snipes, and Robert Downey Jr., he followed up with the 2000 film "The Skulls", starring Joshua Jackson, Paul Walker, and Leslie Bibb. 2002 saw two more films scripted by Pogue, "Rollerball" directed by John McTiernan, and "Ghost Ship", directed by Steve Beck. Pogue has also worked as a script doctor, doing rewrites on the 1996 film "Eraser", 1997's "Shadow Conspiracy", and 2001's "The Fast and the Furious" (in which he was also an executive producer). In 2011, Pogue made his directorial debut on Quarantine 2: Terminal", he would go on to direct other films such as "The Quiet Ones", "Blood Brother", Deep Blue Sea 3, and "Eraser: Reborn".
