Matthew George "Matt" Reeves (born April 27, 1966 in Rockville Center, New York, USA) is an American screenwriter, director, and producer. He began making movies at age eight, directing friends and using a wind-up camera. Reeves befriended filmmaker J.J. Abrams when both were 13 years old and they were making short films together. When Reeves and Abrams were 15 or 16 years old, Steven Spielberg hired them to transfer some of his own Super 8 films to videotape. Reeves began his career as a screenwriter for the films Under Siege 2: Dark Territory (1995) and The Pallbearer (1996), the latter of which marked his feature-length directorial debut. He then transitioned into television as a director and co-creator of the drama series Felicity (1998–2002) alongside J.J. Abrams. Reeves has since directed the horror film Cloverfield (2008), the romantic horror film Let Me In (2010), and the science fiction sequels Dawn of the Planet of the Apes (2014) and War for the Planet of the Apes (2017). In February 2017, Warner Bros. announced that Reeves would direct The Batman (2022) by DC, starring Robert Pattinson.
The distant future does not look too rosy for humanity. There are completely different social norms, only those who have served in the Federal service are full citizens. In addition, the very existence of humanity is threatened by the attacks of alien bugs, which occupy planets in space and are beginning to threaten the Earth. High school student Johnny Rico signs up for the service over his wealthy parents' objections and is assigned to the infantry. His crush, the attractive Carmen, wants to become a pilot and his friend Carl is recruited for military research. Together with Rico, the sympathetic Dizzy joins the infantry and falls in love with the young man. Although the others see him as a slick kid from a wealthy family, Rico slowly toughens up in the extremely tough training. He is sent with his unit to the planet Klendathu, where he finds himself in the midst of battle for the first time. The battle ends in disaster, however, when the bugs slaughter a hundred thousand people in a single hour. Rico is badly wounded. After recovering, he is assigned to a unit commanded by his former teacher Jean Rasczak. Rico and his friends still face an almost hopeless battle against multiple odds.
