Malcolm Kohll
Edit ProfileCareer
He then wrote and co-produced the political true story, "The Fourth Reich", about the Nazis attempt to implant a Nazi government in South Africa during World World War II, directed by Manie Van Rensburg, produced by David Selvan and starring Marius Weyers. Malcolm Kohll"s first filmed script was for the science fiction series Doctor Who. While he was at the British Broadcasting Corporation"s Script Unit in early 1987 he was contacted by script editor Andrew Cartmel.
Kohll began to develop a concept entitled The Flight of the Chimeron.
Shortly before transmission, the decision was made to change the title to the more Fifties-sounding Delta and the Bannermen. Although Cartmel was interested in working with the writer again, Delta and the Bannermen proved to be Kohll"s only involvement with Doctor Who, although he was later contacted about the 1996 revival of the series, coproduced by the British Broadcasting Corporation and Universal Television.
After that he worked on several film comedies, and some serious historical/political work, including a potential mini-series and a pilot for a television comedy series called "Chastity Brogan-United States Marshall." Kohll"s most famous project was as one of the producers of the film The 51st State starring Samuel L. Jackson and Robert Carlyle. He also co-wrote the script to the film The Bone Snatcher.
He is currently writing and producing a film called Heaven & Earth, which is at pre-production stage.
In addition Malcolm is adapting two South African thrillers, by Margie Orford (Blood Rose) and Deon Meyer (13 Hours), for director Roger Spottiswoode.
