Steve Hoban was born in Ottawa, Ontario, Canada, in 1964.[1]
Hoban and director Vincenzo Natali are friends and have collaborated on several films,[2] including Nothing, Splice, and Haunter. Hoban has also collaborated with Chris Landreth on animated shorts, including The Spine and Ryan, which won an Academy Award.[3]
In 2001, Hoban co-founded 49th Parallel, a Montreal-based film production company. Among the early projects that they produced was Natali's 2003 film Nothing and Landreth's 2004 short Ryan.[4] Hoban's new company, Copperheart Entertainment, is based in Toronto.[5]
In 2013, he collaborated with Natali again to produce and direct the television series Darknet.[6] This was his directorial debut.[7]
A television adaptation of William Gibson's The Peripheral was put into development in April 2018,[8] with Hoban an executive producer.[9]
Hoban told Screen International that his favorite film is Taken, but not for creative reasons; Hoban said that he admires the film for its repeatable business model and success at the American box office despite its lack of traditional indicators of success.[10]
