Charles Edward Pogue

Charles Edward Pogue is an American film and television writer.^[1] Pogue has worked in the science fiction, fantasy, horror, and thriller genres, and he has also scripted several Sherlock Holmes adaptations, The Sign of Four,^[1] The Hound of the Baskervilles,^[1] and Hands of a Murderer.^[1] His most well-known work to date is probably the acclaimed 1986 remake^[1] of The Fly; he provided the initial drafts, though his work was heavily rewritten by David Cronenberg, the film's director.^[2]

He has expressed his disappointment with the films that were made from his screenplays for Dragonheart^[1] and Kull the Conqueror,^[1] saying that they were ruined by studio interference.^[3] Whereas he believes that his most satisfying achievement was The Hound of the Baskervilles.^[3]

From 1997-2001, Pogue served on the Board of Directors of the Writers Guild of America, West.
