Peter Craig (born November 10, 1969) is an American novelist and screenwriter.
Craig's first novel, The Martini Shot, published by William Morrow in 1998, chronicles has-been action film star Charlie West's troubled relationship with his two children and received a Michener-Copernicus Fellowship. His second novel, Hot Plastic, published by Hyperion in 2004, portrays the complex relationship between credit card con artist Jerry Swift and his genius son, both of whom are attracted to the same woman. His most recent novel, Blood Father, published by Hyperion in 2005, tells of aging biker John Link and his reckless teenage daughter, caught up in a drug bust gone wrong.
As a screenwriter, Craig has written the Warner Bros. picture The Town (based on the novel Prince of Thieves by Chuck Hogan) with Ben Affleck and Aaron Stockard. He adapted the screenplays for The Hunger Games: Mockingjay - Part 1 and The Hunger Games: Mockingjay - Part 2 with Danny Strong. The films were directed by Francis Lawrence. Craig also adapted his own novel Blood Father, directed by Jean-François Richet, released in 2016 by Lions Gate Entertainment. Craig's forthcoming projects include an adaptation of Doug Stanton's nonfiction account of the war in Afghanistan, Horse Soldiers, currently shooting in New Mexico, produced by Jerry Bruckheimer; as well as Lynsey Addario's memoir It's What I Do for Warner Bros. and Steven Spielberg.
