Chris Galletta

Chris Galletta, man, this guy’s got an oddball energy that just bleeds into every script he touches. You see his name and you know you’re not getting some cookie-cutter, paint-by-numbers movie. First off, The Kings of Summer? Straight-up cult classic vibes. It’s got this quirky coming-of-age thing going on, a bunch of teenagers ditching their parents, building a house in the woods, living off Pop-Tarts and weird adolescent dreams. The humor’s sharp, like, you laugh but then you’re like, “Wait, is this supposed to be sad or hilarious?” That’s Galletta for you. Then you’ve got the upcoming Minecraft Movie—okay, wild pivot, right? But honestly, if anyone’s going to wrangle a video game about blocks and endless possibilities into something that doesn’t make you want to claw your eyes out, it’s probably this dude. He’s got that knack for making the insane seem relatable, finding real heart in the most unlikely places. And there’s this mysterious Untitled Todd Strauss-Schulson/Chris Galletta Project floating around—no details yet, but if you mash up Galletta’s sharp wit with Schulson’s flair for the weird and visually trippy, it’s probably going to be something people won’t shut up about for months. Bottom line, Chris Galletta’s not just another name in the credits. He’s got a distinct flavor—like, you know when you taste a really good hot sauce and it lingers? That’s his writing. It sticks with you, in the best way possible.
