Steve Miner has had a very popular career in making films and remains one of Hollywood's most prolific directors and has worked with a variety of stars that includes Jamie Lee Curtis, Leslie Nielsen, C. Thomas Howell, Tom Arnold, Rick Moranis, and Bill Pullman.
Before becoming a director, Miner worked as an editor for Wes Craven and Sean S. Cunningham on several occasions, helping bring the notorious rape/murder film La dernière maison sur la gauche (1972) to the screen. He worked for Cunningham again in 1980 on Vendredi 13 (1980) as an associate producer. The following year he was hired to direct its sequels Le tueur du vendredi (1981) and Meurtres en 3 dimensions (1982). Miner also directed the comedy, Soul Man (1986) and moved onto a serious drama Forever Young (1992) in 1992. Returning to comedy with Rick Moranis and Tom Arnold, he made Le souffre-douleur (1996) and returned back to horror with the very successful Halloween, 20 ans après (1998) and the under water/comedy thriller Lake Placid (1999). His recent film Texas Rangers: La revanche des justiciers (2001) with young upcoming Hollywood stars isn't bad either. Nearly all films have been successful and/or a box office hit.
