## Early career and Platinum Dunes

Form began in the industry in support roles. His credits include assistant work on *The Ref* (1994), *Dangerous Minds* (1995), *Crimson Tide* (1995), *Bad Boys* (1995), and *The Rock* (1996)<sup>[2](https://www.tvguide.com/celebrities/andrew-form/credits/3030272953/)</sup>. In a 2018 interview he said that *Bad Boys* was one of the first movies he worked on and that he met Michael Bay on that film, beginning a close professional relationship<sup>[7](https://weliveentertainment.com/welivefilm/brad-fuller-andrew-form-quiet-place/)</sup>.

His first producer credit was the 1998 romantic comedy *Kissing a Fool*<sup>[8](https://catalog.afi.com/Person/267833-Andrew-Form?cp=1&cxt=Producer&pos=0&sid=f93d40bb-eccb-43d8-8c6a-8340b7e7f60f&sr=0.2984483)</sup>. In 2001 he co-founded Platinum Dunes with Brad Fuller and Michael Bay<sup>[1](https://www.aactafestival.com/speaker/andrew-form-)</sup>. The company built its early reputation on horror remakes: *The Texas Chainsaw Massacre* (2003, on which Form was executive producer), *The Amityville Horror* (2005), *[The Hitcher](https://www.edgepedia.org/the-hitcher-2007-film)* (2007), *Friday the 13th* (2009), and *A Nightmare on Elm Street* (2010)<sup>[1](https://www.aactafestival.com/speaker/andrew-form-)</sup><sup> • </sup><sup>[4](https://www.tvinsider.com/people/andrew-form/)</sup>. It then moved into original franchises with *The Purge* (2013) and its sequels, *Ouija* (2014) and *Ouija: Origin of Evil* (2016), and the *Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles* films (2014, 2016)<sup>[1](https://www.aactafestival.com/speaker/andrew-form-)</sup>. Fuller has described the shift as deliberate: the partners concluded that for the company to grow they needed to broaden out and make original movies rather than rely on remakes<sup>[9](https://bloody-disgusting.com/interviews/3488358/sxsw-interview-quiet-place-director-john-krasinski-producers-andrew-form-brad-fuller-power-silence/)</sup>.

## A Quiet Place

Form's most prominent success is *A Quiet Place* (2018), directed by [John Krasinski](https://www.edgepedia.org/john-krasinski). Platinum Dunes received the spec script in August 2017 through the writers' agency, WME, and was the only company to receive it; Form has said the company bought the script in August 2017 and was filming roughly a year later, which he described as fast for them<sup>[10](https://wegotthiscovered.com/movies/interview-producer-andrew-form-talks-quiet-place-planned-sequel/)</sup>. The script ran 67 pages, and Form recalled asking why: the answer was that there was almost no dialogue<sup>[9](https://bloody-disgusting.com/interviews/3488358/sxsw-interview-quiet-place-director-john-krasinski-producers-andrew-form-brad-fuller-power-silence/)</sup>.

The film was nominated for an Academy Award and earned Form and his fellow producers a Producers Guild of America nomination; it was also named one of the Top 10 Films of the Year by both the [American Film Institute](https://www.edgepedia.org/american-film-institute) and the [National Board of Review](https://www.edgepedia.org/national-board-of-review), and at the time set the biggest opening weekend in domestic box office history for an original horror story<sup>[1](https://www.aactafestival.com/speaker/andrew-form-)</sup><sup> • </sup><sup>[6](https://www.yahoo.com/entertainment/producer-andrew-form-signs-first-163000448.html)</sup>. Form produced the sequel *A Quiet Place: Part II* (2020), which grossed over $300 million worldwide and became the first film to enjoy a successful theatrical release during the COVID-19 pandemic<sup>[1](https://www.aactafestival.com/speaker/andrew-form-)</sup>. He also produced the prequel *A Quiet Place: Day One* (2024), starring [Lupita Nyong'o](https://www.edgepedia.org/lupita-nyongo) and Joseph Quinn, which grossed over $200 million<sup>[1](https://www.aactafestival.com/speaker/andrew-form-)</sup>. Across the three films, the franchise has grossed more than $850 million worldwide<sup>[6](https://www.yahoo.com/entertainment/producer-andrew-form-signs-first-163000448.html)</sup>.

## Television and later work

On television, Form has served as an executive producer on *Tom Clancy's Jack Ryan*, of which all four seasons stream on Amazon; *Black Sails*; *The Last Ship*; and the *Purge* series<sup>[1](https://www.aactafestival.com/speaker/andrew-form-)</sup><sup> • </sup><sup>[2](https://www.tvguide.com/celebrities/andrew-form/credits/3030272953/)</sup>. His later film credits include *IF* (2024), written and directed by John Krasinski and starring [Ryan Reynolds](https://www.edgepedia.org/ryan-reynolds), and the horror film *[Apartment 7A](https://www.edgepedia.org/apartment-7a)* (2024), starring [Julia Garner](https://www.edgepedia.org/julia-garner)<sup>[1](https://www.aactafestival.com/speaker/andrew-form-)</sup>. Upcoming projects listed in his credits include *A Quiet Place Part III* (2027) and the Jack Ryan film *Ghost War* (2026)<sup>[4](https://www.tvinsider.com/people/andrew-form/)</sup>.

In August 2024, Form signed a first-look producing deal with [Sony Pictures](https://www.edgepedia.org/sony-pictures)' Screen Gems. He told Variety that he continues to feel most comfortable in the horror, thriller, and science-fiction spaces, and his credits have collectively grossed over $3 billion<sup>[6](https://www.yahoo.com/entertainment/producer-andrew-form-signs-first-163000448.html)</sup>. Among the projects he discussed in connection with the deal was a horror prequel to *Rosemary's Baby*<sup>[6](https://www.yahoo.com/entertainment/producer-andrew-form-signs-first-163000448.html)</sup>.

## Personal life

Form has been married to actress [Alexandra Daddario](https://www.edgepedia.org/alexandra-daddario) since June 2022, and they have one child; he was previously married to actress [Jordana Brewster](https://www.edgepedia.org/jordana-brewster)<sup>[3](https://www.imdb.com/name/nm0286320/)</sup>.
