General info :
Stephen Norrington (born 1964) is a British film director and special effects artist whose credits include Death Machine and the comic book adaptations Blade and The League of Extraordinary Gentlemen.

Norrington first worked in film as a special effects artist, doing so for several years, which included work on the films Aliens and Split Second. His debut as a director was in the 1994 movie Death Machine but it was directing Blade in 1998 that gained him international status as the film became a box office hit. Despite the film's success, Norrington turned down directing the sequel. The most recent film he directed was League of Extraordinary Gentlemen during which he had such a hard time with Sean Connery, the film's star, that he announced he would never direct another film again. He would later change his mind, though as of 2018 he has yet to do so.

Norrington was originally attached to Dimension Films's Ghost Rider before the project was acquired by Columbia Pictures. Norrington was originally set to direct a remake of the 1981 fantasy film Clash of the Titans, before the position went to Louis Leterrier, director of The Incredible Hulk.

In 2008 it was announced that Norrington would direct a reboot of The Crow franchise. In 2010 it was reported that Norrington would direct and write the supernatural action thriller The Lost Patrol to be distributed by Legendary Pictures.

He had a few unrealized projects throughout his career.
