Bohem's writing credits include the miniseries Taken and the films Dante's Peak, Twenty Bucks (with his father), Daylight, and The Alamo (the latter was a notoriously troubled production, and was a massive box office bomb, losing the studio over $146 million.).[2] He also wrote the storybook of the Steven Spielberg produced mini-series Nine Lives.[3]
Bohem wrote on the science-fiction television series Extant, executive produced by Spielberg and created the series Shut Eye, airing on the streaming service Hulu. It was given a straight-to-series 10-episode order. All ten episodes became available on December 7, 2016.[4] A second season was ordered on March 20, 2017[5] which was released on December 6, 2017.
