Career
[edit ]Hales has worked extensively in the theatre (both as actor and stage director), film and television.[1] He began his screenwriting career in 1970, with the British television series Manhunt . Hales has written for the American series Dallas , as well as many iterations — series and DVD releases — of George Lucas's The Adventures of Young Indiana Jones .
In 1977 he directed the stage play Mecca by E. A. Whitehead at the Open Space Theatre, London.[2]
Hales wrote the 1980 Agatha Christie film The Mirror Crack'd . He is credited with the story for the 2002 prequel to The Mummy , The Scorpion King , and is co-author (with George Lucas) of the screenplay for 2002's Star Wars film Star Wars: Episode II – Attack of the Clones .
Writing the middle film in the Star Wars prequel trilogy, Lucas and Hales continued to refine their script as production began. The production draft was completed less than a week before commencement of principal photography. Hales worked with Lucas as costumes were designed and sets were constructed. "At that stage, Attack of the Clones felt like a ‘virtual film’ because we got the script only three days before we started shooting," recalls producer Rick McCallum. "We had to build these sets to a script that didn’t exist."[3]
