  Proyas in February, 1998 Alex Proyas (born September 23, 1963) is an Australian film director, writer, and producer. He was born to Greek parents in Egypt but moved to Sydney when he was 3 years of age. The director of numerous music videos and commercials frequently works with production designer Patrick Tatopoulos. His first movie directorial project was a movie adaptation of the comic book The Crow starring Brandon Lee. Tragically, Lee was killed in an accident during filming, only eight days before the completion of the movie in March 1993. After Lee's death Alex decided he should complete the film in his memory so a stunt double and special effects were used to film the remaining scenes. The Crow eventually released in May 1994 and was a box office and critical success. He then wrote and directed the 1998 science fiction thriller Dark City, which had disappointing box office results despite winning numerous awards, but has since gained a strong cult following. In 2004 he directed I, Robot, a science fiction film "suggested by"[1] the Isaac Asimov short story compilation I, Robot that starred Will Smith. It was a box office success, but met with mixed reactions by readers and fans of the Asimov stories. In February 2005, it was revealed that Proyas would direct the supernatural thriller Knowing.[2] Director Richard Kelly was previously attached to the project. Sources over at Variety say that Dark City director Alex Proyas is set to helm the upcoming film about the Blood Count's origins in Dracula Year Zero for Universal Studios. Joining Alex on this journey through the famous vampire's past will be his old colleague Michael De Luca, who was the executive producer on Dark City.
