Biography
Denise Di Novi made her producing debut on the cult hit comedy "Heathers," for which she won an Independent Spirit Award for Best First Feature. She then began a long association with groundbreaking filmmaker Tim Burton, during which time she produced such diverse hits as "Edward Scissorhands," "Batman Returns," "The Nightmare Before Christmas," "Ed Wood" and "James and the Giant Peach." In 1993, she set up her own production company, Di Novi Pictures, at Columbia Pictures.
Di Novi has collaborated with author Nicholas Sparks on four films, including "The Lucky One," "Message in a Bottle," "A Walk to Remember" and "Nights in Rodanthe," all based on his novels. She is currently in post-production on her fifth project with Sparks, "The Best of Me." Her other films include "What a Girl Wants," "The Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants," "The Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants 2," "Ramona and Beezus," "Life as We Know It," "Monte Carlo," and, more recently, Ficarra and Requa's "Crazy, Stupid, Love.," starring Steve Carell, Ryan Gosling, Julianne Moore and Emma Stone. Di Novi also produced "Focus," which stars Will Smith and Margot Robbie. Glenn Ficarra and John Requa wrote and directed the picture.
Her early credits include the 1994 remake of "Little Women," as well as "Practical Magic," which took first place at the box office in its opening weekend.
Di Novi has also ventured into television production. She served as an executive producer on the longform projects "Eloise at Christmastime," "Eloise at the Plaza" and "The '70s," as well as the critically acclaimed series "The District."
