[edit] Screenwriting credits
He came to prominence in 1989 for writing the black comedy Heathers, for which he received a 1990 Edgar Award. Over the next four years, he served as co-writer on the comedy The Adventures of Ford Fairlane, scripted the sequel Batman Returns, and then wrote the films Hudson Hawk (for which he re-teamed with Heathers director Michael Lehmann) and Demolition Man.
[edit] Turn as a director
In 2001, Waters made his directorial debut with Happy Campers, another teen comedy in a black vein that, after a long delay, wound up going straight to DVD. His follow-up, Sex and Death 101 was released theatrically on April 4, 2008 in New York and Los Angeles. Reuniting Waters with Heathers star Winona Ryder, the film is a hybrid of science fiction, dark comedy, and romantic thriller. The film will be released on DVD on July 1, 2008 from Anchor Bay.
