# Trademark 1 His visual style is characterised by a constantly moving camera, and (The Haunting excluded) the use of handheld cameras. 2 Frequently includes references to Stanley Kubrick 's movies
# Fact 1 In his preparations for a proposed 1994 American Godzilla movie, he sealed a fix deal with Industrial Light & Magic to ensure that the project would not go over-budget. He also lobbied for the movie to revolve around two monsters (Godzilla and a so-called Gryphon, a giant shape-shifting alien being that can fuse with Earth animals). Tri-Star, the studio in charge of the production, fired de Bont because they feared the movie would go over budget (Tri-Star did not know of his deal with ILM at the time) and cost $200 million. De Bont was given a $4 million fee for his contributions, as requested in his contract, and Tri-Star put the project on hold. Later, the studio hired Roland Emmerich to direct because they thought he would keep the film under budget -- ironically, the finished movie, Godzilla (1998) ended up costing far more than initially expected (about $200 million if we include advertising), and was met with harsh criticism. Had Tri-Star backed de Bont's original idea, the movie would have cost far less, it would have been out sooner and would likely have been better received. 2 Was once married to Monique van de Ven . They met while Jan was operating the camera on Turkish Delight (1973), the film in which she made her debut. 3 Brother of Peter De Bont . 4 Member of the American Society of Cinematographers (ASC) since 1990. 5 Frequently shoots with older Panavision (anamorphic) lenses, note the lens flares in Die Hard (1988) and Speed 2: Cruise Control (1997). 6 His full name is pronounced Yawn Duh Bawnt. 7 Father, with Trish Reeves, of son Alexander de Bont and daughter Anneke de Bont . 8 Was originally set to direct Minority Report (2002), but Steven Spielberg sacked him and took over as director, probably due to the failure of The Haunting (1999). 9 After the huge success of his directorial debut, Speed (1994), Tri-Star offered him their American version of Godzilla (1998). He obtained a script and worked out a budget. Tri-Star rejected the submitted budget (reportedly over $160,000,000) and De Bont left the project which was temporarily shelved. 10 One of 17 children born into a Roman Catholic Dutch family. 11 George Lucas ' Industrial Light & Magic frequently handles the special effects for his films.12 Was scalped by a lion on the set of Roar (1981).
