Biografie
Writer/Director Adam McKay has been behind several influential and successful films in his career and has made a lasting mark on the comedy world as a founding member of the Upright Citizens Brigade comedy troupe and as Head Writer on the venerable comedy institution "Saturday Night Live," where he met long-time producing and writing partner Will Ferrell.
McKay and Ferrell have collaborated on several films, including Columbia Pictures' "Step Brothers" and Sony's "Talladega Nights" and "The Other Guys." McKay's partnership with Ferrell continued with McKay returning to co-write and direct "Anchorman 2: The Legend Continues," the sequel to their cult classic "Anchorman: The Legend of Ron Burgundy." McKay also produced "Welcome to Me," starring Kristen Wiig, and wrote Marvel's summer hit "Ant Man."
McKay's success extends beyond film. He is a frequent contributor on Huffington Post, has written for TV projects such as Michael Moore's "The Awful Truth," directed and produced on HBO's "Eastbound and Down" and produced the Emmy-nominated "Drunk History." On Broadway, McKay directed the Tony-nominated "You're Welcome America." Along with Ferrell and Chris Henchy, McKay started the comedy website Funny or Die, which gets over 35 million hits a year.
McKay has turned his focus to a more serious topic, directing the highly anticipated Paramount Pictures film "The Big Short," which takes a look inside the financial crisis of 2007-2010, based on the New York Times best-selling book by Michael Lewis. "The Big Short" stars Christian Bale, Steve Carell, Ryan Gosling, and Brad Pitt.
