Wesley Coller

> "We tend not to develop a ton of things. We have our slate of ideas that we're really in love with and we have an intention to make all of them, so we don't have this pile of things that we may pick or choose from, but we have things that we've fallen in love with and we're okay waiting for that right time."

**Wesley Coller** is an American producer. He produced nearly all Cruel and Unusual Films and The Stone Quarry projects, starting from *300*. He was one of the cofounders of both studios, and he also portrayed Boudoir Photographer in *Snow Steam Iron*.

## Biography

Coller dropped out of high school before graduating from EMU and getting married in 1999. His cousin in Los Angeles, a film producer, offered to allow Coller to stay at their place in LA while Coller looked for work in film, and it was during this period that he met Zack Snyder. Coller's cousin had gone to school with Snyder and was producing ads and music videos with him at the time. Coller worked on a Coca-Cola commercial as a production assistant, and was inspired by the atmosphere of the set to stick around and continue working with Snyder. About a year into the job, Snyder offered him a full-time position as his assistant to help oversee more of the work and free up time for Snyder to look into feature films. Once *Dawn of the Dead* was released, Coller, Zack, and Deborah Snyder decided that their work as a team would take Zack's projects the farthest and they established Cruel & Unusual Films, Inc.

Coller and his wife, Celeste, have a daughter who was born in 2012.

Coller acts as Cruel & Unusual Films' creative consultant for the tie-in art and behind-the-scenes books.

A character in *Special Report: Zombie Invasion*, portrayed by Steve Haberman, was named Dr. Wesley S. Coller. Dr. Coller wrote a book called *U.S.A-Bomb* in the *Dawn of the Dead* universe. The United States Secretary of Defense in *Dawn of the Dead* is also named Wesley Coller. Coller has made a few cameo appearances in the projects he produced with the Snyders, but he prefers not committing to onscreen appearances due to the time restrictions created by his offscreen responsibilities.
