Biography
Ruben Fleischer is an American film director, screenwriter, and producer. Born October 31, 1974, he launched into features with Zombieland (2009), a low-budget zombie comedy that became his signature work. He returned to the universe with Zombieland: Double Tap (2019), cementing the franchise as his calling card. Beyond the undead, Fleischer helmed 30 Minutes or Less, Gangster Squad, Uncharted, and the Tom Hardy vehicle Venom (2018), showcasing range across action, heist, and superhero registers. Before breaking into features, he built a foundation in commercials—spots for Cisco, Eurostar, ESPN, and Burger King—and music videos for M.I.A., Electric Six, DJ Format, and Gold Chains, work that sharpened his eye for visual pacing and brand narrative. As a screenwriter and producer, he controls the full arc of his projects, rarely staying in one genre long. Numerologically a Life Path 8, Fleischer embodies the builder archetype: ambitious, resourceful, and laser-focused on scaling ideas into franchises. A Scorpio (born October 31), his relentless commitment to reinvention—from indie zombie comedy to studio tentpoles—tracks that fixed-water sign's obsessive depth.
