Career
Following their R-rated off-duty exploits and their lives in the Fortress's sheo-only bar, Pearce created No Heroics, a sitcom about homeless superheroes. The complete film was shot in 2008 and released in October of that year. The program was ITV2's first original sitcom. Critics also praised No Heroics. The Times described the film: "ITV2's latest comedy No Heroics is fast, funny, and a little bit ingenious," the show says. Drew Pearce, the author/writer, wrote an engaging group of pretenders to the throne. At the British Comedy Awards, the show was voted Best New British TV Comedy of 2008.
ABC commissioned Pearce for an American adaptation pilot of No Heroics in 2009. Will & Grace writer Jeff Greenstein was on hand to accompany Pearce.
In 2010, Marvel recruited Pearce to write a Runaways-based on Brian K. Vaughan and Adrian Alphona's comic book of the same name. The runaways film was delayed until October 2010, but Pearce revealed in September 2013 that due to the success of The Avengers, it was postponed. Runaways will eventually be released as a Hulu-owned streaming television show created by Josh Schwartz and Stephanie Savage years later.
Pearce and director Shane Black co-write Iron Man 3 in March 2011. The black film resembles more than just two guys in iron suits fighting each other" and more like a "Tom Clancy thriller," with Iron Man fighting real-world type villains. Pearce said they'd be averting magic and space, with Iron Man 3 being "a techno-thriller set in a more realistic-world setting than even The Avengers."
The film received critical feedback and was commercially successful, grossing over $1.2 billion worldwide, the second-highest-grossing film of 2013 and the second-highest-grossing film at the domestic box office, which was released in 2013.
Pearce's writing career continued as a writer on a number of fronts. Pearce also wrote an uncredited rewrite of Guillermo del Toro's sci-fi action thriller Pacific Rim. In October 2011, he was asked to write the script for a third film in the Sherlock Holmes film series starring Robert Downey Jr. Pearce was tapped to fine tune the script for Legendary Pictures' Godzilla revival in the coming year.
Paramount Pictures unveiled the fifth Mission: Impossible film from Pearce's script in August. Pearce received a story about Mission: Impossible – Rogue Nation, after writing the script with Christopher McQuarrie. The film earned $195 million in the United States and Canada, as well as $487.7 million in other nations, for a worldwide total of $682.6 million. It received critical acclaim for its achievement of a Rotten Tomatoes score of 93% based on 291 reviews and an average rating of 7.5/10. "Mission: Impossible" is the site's critical consensus, according to Rogue Nation's enthralling revival, but Rogue Nation's Rogue Nation maintains that Tom Cruise is still a leading actor without equal."
Pearce, who was also based on the Atlantic article of the same name, had been chosen to write The Wedding Sting, a film based on Paramount Pictures. The essay, written by Jeff Maysh, tells the tale of how the 1990 Flint police department devised a sting to put on a fake wedding that would attract the city's drug dealers to a single location.
Pearce worked with Jason Segel to develop the idea for a third Lego Movie spin-off called The Billion Brick Race. Warner Bros. revealed in March 2015 that the film was in the works with its animation studio, Warner Animation Group. Pearce and Segel had agreed to co-direct and write the film, but they later stepped away from those roles. They returned to the project on February 8, 2018, when it was revealed that Jorge R. Gutierrez, the project's first director, had left it.
Pearce and producer Stephen Broussard had the idea for a short film that would give the Mandarin character "a fresh look." Joss Whedon, a Marvel Studios and consultant, were thrilled with the short film, and Pearce wrote and directed the short film titled All Hail The King after Ben Kingsley agreed to reprise his role as Trevor Slattery. Sam Rockwell's cameo filmed in Toronto on a set that had been painted to match the Los Angeles shooting.
All Hail the King was published on the digital download version of Thor: The Dark World on February 4, 2014, and on February 25, 2014 for the Blu-ray release. Cliff Wheatley of the IGN rated All Hail the King 9.4 out of 10. It's "a return to the hapless personality of the hapless Trevor" and a step forward for the larger Marvel Cinematic Universe, according to He. Trevor Slattery's lovers and haters will be satisfied by the film's twists. However, it's the pearce's involvement that matters, from the kung-fu movie style credit sequences to the lighthearted tone that takes center stage," Pearce takes.
Pearce made his debut directorial debut with the debut of Hotel Artemis, which is also a genre-bending, cult phenomenon. The film, which was also written by Pearce, is a futuristic thriller set in a little-known, members-only hospital for criminals.
Jodie Foster, a two-time Academy Award winner, appeared in the film alongside an ensemble cast including Sterling K. Brown, Dave Bautista, Sofia Boutella, Jeff Goldblum, Jenny Slate, Charlie Day, Zachary Quinto, Brian Tyree Henry, and Kenneth Choi. Hotel Artemis was released in Los Angeles in May 2017 by Global Road Entertainment, and it was announced in North America on June 8, 2018.
The film had mostly positive feedback. "Artemis is a bold, loud, hopeful film, far more sophisticated than the bog-standard summer blockbuster farewells, and it's packed with humor and suspense," CineVue's Zoe Margolis said, "and making this pulpy-sci fi thriller a fun watch." "Maybe no one should ever get in Pearce's way again," Mick LaSalle of The San Francisco Chronicle said of the film. "With all the activities derived from the basic idea of a members-only hospital for criminals," the Austin Chronicle's Marjorie Baumgarten wrote about the film, "Hotel Artemis feels like a throwback to a more stripped-down era of action films in which a good idea provided a good platform on which to drape fine acting and creative execution."
Hobbs and Shaw, a Chris Morgan spin-off, was co-written by Pearce. Universal Pictures released David Leitch, produced by Seven Bucks Productions and Chris Morgan Productions, and Chris Morgan Productions. Jason Statham and Dwayne Johnson, reprising as their respective characters Luke Hobbs and Deckard Shaw from the previous Fast and Furious films, are in the film. Idris Elba, Vanessa Kirby, Eiza González, and Helen Mirren appeared in the film alongside Ryan Reynolds and Kevin Hart, with cameos by Ryan Reynolds and Kevin Hart.
Point of No Return Films, Pearce's production firm, headquartered in Los Angeles, California, established in 2018. The company's primary objective is to produce and produce film and television shows aimed at reinventing the genre. Hotel Artemis, Pearce's first film, was the first production. Variety reported on June 26, 2019, Netflix acquired Pearce's new film, Quartermaster, which Point of No Return will be produced by Adam Siegel of Marc Platt Productions. Pearce's debut will be a "high-concept drama" that he will write and direct.
