We’re sad to learn that director and writer Curtis Hanson passed away earlier this week in Los Angeles. We had the privilege of meeting him in 2011 while filming scenes for his last movie, Chasing Mavericks. His most famous movies include LA Confidential, 8 Mile, Wonder Boys, and River Wild. (Hanson is shown here on the left, with Boardwalk Community Relations Director Kris Reyes on the right.)
