Breck Eisner (b. 1970) is the son of former Walt Disney Company chief executive Michael Eisner. He attended the Harvard High School in North Hollywood, CA (now Harvard-Westlake), Georgetown University, and then the film school at USC.

For a directing project at Georgetown, he filmed a contemporary riff on Alice in Wonderland, shooting scenes in the vast empty attic of Healy Hall on the campus, as well as in an abandoned circular trolley-car tunnel under Dupont Circle in the District of Columbia. He also directed a Shakespeare play on the campus.

Eisner currently works as a director of film and television. He is married to Georgia Irwin.

In October 2005, it was announced that Eisner would direct a remake of the classic monster movie Creature from the Black Lagoon, and in February 2008 it was announced that he would direct a remake of George Romero's The Crazies.^[1]
