Charles "Chuck" Russell (born May 9, 1958) is an American film director, producer and screenwriter. He is best known for his work in the 1980s and '90s, including "A Nightmare on Elm Street 3: Dream Warriors" (1987) and "The Mask" (1994).
There were talks of a movie in the late 80s and Early 90s but it never got off the ground. This was a fun little exercise on who I likely would have chosen if it did end up being made, among the midst of pulp influenced movies that were to come - i.e The Rocketeer, The Shadow et.al it could easily have fit right in.
