Steven P. Wegner

Steven P. Wegner grew up in sunny San Diego, which—let’s be real—probably explains his chill, West Coast vibe. The dude’s name pops up in the credits of some massive films: Dolphin Tale, The Blind Side, and Prisoners. You know those movies. Dolphin Tale? Heartwarming as hell, with that dolphin and the prosthetic tail—kids and adults both ugly-crying in theaters, no shame. The Blind Side? Sandra Bullock absolutely crushing it, based on a true story, all about football and family and breaking down some pretty heavy social barriers. Then there’s Prisoners—way darker, super intense, Hugh Jackman and Jake Gyllenhaal going all-in with the suspense and moral gray areas. Totally different flavors, but Wegner’s fingerprints are all over them. Off-camera, Wegner’s got his own thing going on. He’s been married to Susie since the late ‘90s—June 28, 1997, if you want to get specific. That’s, what, over two decades of marriage? In Hollywood years, that’s like a century. They’ve got two kids, and judging by the vibe, he’s probably a pretty solid dad. No wild scandals, no tabloid drama—just a guy who seems to keep his head down and make movies that actually hit people in the feels. So yeah, Wegner’s not one of those flashy, red-carpet-every-week types. But the films he’s worked on? They stick with you. Drama, suspense, family, hope, heartbreak—he’s got range. That’s the kind of producer and writer you actually remember, even if you don’t know his face.
