Hopper and Hollywood
Edward Hopper came of age as an artist in the 1920s, a decade that would see an enormous expansion of the film industry. Movies were everywhere, and Edward Hopper loved the movies; you can see the influence of film on his work, while in turn echoes of Hopper’s influence can be seen in countless films.

J.D. Zeik's original screenplay, Ronin, starring Robert DeNiro, was filmed and released by United Artists in 1998. The film was a hit on both screens and on DVD, and is now considered a cult classic. Mr. Zeik has been an Assistant Professor of Screenwriting in the SUNY Purchase Film and Playwriting / Screenwriting programs since January of 2000.
