Career
He moved to Los Angeles in 1998 to pursue a career in comedy writing, finding the legal field less fulfilling. He began writing for network television comedies and eventually films a few years later.
In 2007, Goldstein's first film script, The $40,000 Man, was sold to New Line Cinema in collaboration with his writing partner John Francis Daley. Since the first purchase, Goldstein and Daley have been working on a variety of other film projects, including Hours of Fun, starring Steve Carell and Jim Carriery, Cal of the Wild for Steven Spielberg and DreamWorks, and an extension of Warner Brothers' "All the Things" series, with Steve Carell and Jim Carney starring Steve Carell and Jim Carney, and another adaptation of the documentary Of All the Things, with Steve Carell and Jim Carney. Horrible Bosses, a line from the United Kingdom, was launched on July 8, 2011 and has earned more than $200 million in worldwide box office. The team was hired to rewrite Cloudy's animated film with a Chance of Meatballs in 2009.
Vacation, a follow-up to the 1983 comedy film National Lampoon's Vacation, Goldstein and Daley co-wrote and directed their script. Ed Helms played Rusty Griswold, the adult version. The film earned $104 million in worldwide box office from a $32 million budget.
Goldstein and Daley wrote the screenplay for Spider-Man: Homecoming, and they were both intended to direct before Jon Watts was hired.
The 2018 black comedy Game Night was produced by Goldstein and Daley, based on a screenplay by Mark Perez. "The film, starring Jason Bateman and Rachel McAdams, has received a slew of accolades for its whip-smart script, energetic performances, and deliberate avoidance of modern comedy's ubiquitous tropes." Though they did not receive screenwriter credit, they later announced that they rewrote "fully all of the original script's dialogue, completely rewritten the script, including a creepy cop portrayed by Jesse Plemons — and rewrite the entire script's third act."
The filmmaking team was expected to produce a film adaptation of DC Comics' The Flash for the DC Extended Universe in 2018, but it was announced in July that they had dropped the project. Despite this, both Goldstein and Daley received a letter of credit alongside the film's screenwriter, Christina Hodson.
Goldstein and Daley were in talks to orchestrate the revival of Dungeons & Dragons: Honor Among Thieves (1923), which was revealed in 2019. In January 2020, it was announced that instead of directing, they would be writing a new draft of the screenplay.
