Tom DeSanto
Tom DeSanto (b. 1968) is an American film producer and screenwriter, and was one of the producers of the 2007Transformers movie. He is perhaps best known for his work with director Bryan Singer andMarvel'sX-Men movie franchise. An avid comic book fan, DeSanto owns over 30,000 comics and has a keen interest in making productions involving such properties.
DeSanto wrote the treatment forTransformers that he and fellow producerDon Murphy had shopped around Hollywood from 2003 to 2004, until it was picked up bySteven Spielberg'sDreamworks studio. DeSanto reportedly spent many hours watching every single episode of theGeneration One cartoon and read every single issue of the Marvel comic prior to writing his treatment. However, this treatment went unused.
