Hired after Steven Spielberg saw his USC Thesis Film "Headless!" (which won Grand Jury Prize for best short at the Houston Int'l Film Festival) to direct Dreamworks Interactive's "Goosebumps: Escape from Horrorland", Guterman was then hired to direct sequences on "Antz", the company's first C.G.I. feature starring the voices of Woody Allen, Sharon Stone, and Christopher Walken. Next, he developed and prepped a live-action/CGI version of "Curious George" for producer Ron Howard, Imagine Entertainment, and Universal Studios. When that project was put on hold by the studio, Guterman went on to direct "Cats and Dogs" for Warner Bros., which earned more than $200 Million in worldwide box office revenue. (source: Variety, BoxOfficeMojo.com) The BBC said about the film that it "succeeds both as a parody of the spy genre, and in stretching the boundaries of what you believe is possible," and A.O. Scott of the New York Times called it "exuberant fun." Guterman received an undergraduate degree in physics from Harvard University after attending M.I.T. his freshman year. Show less «
