He then moved to Los Angeles, where he worked for 12 years as a screenwriter before directing the 2002 film Equilibrium. In numerous interviews, he cites Equilibrium as his directorial debut and first film, although his actual directorial debut was the 1995 action film One Tough Bastard starring Brian Bosworth and Bruce Payne.
