Rob Muir began his career as a writer and performer with the renowned comedy troupes "The Groundlings" and "Second City, LA". It was during his time at "The Second City" that he met and began writing with fellow performer Bob Destri Hilgenberg, forming a dynamic writing duo. This partnership quickly transitioned into feature film writing, with a series of comedy rewrites and pitch sales to major studios.
Their most recent projects include "The Family Circus", an action comedy for 20th Century Fox and Walden Media, as well as "Meet The Haunteds" (2011),which was directed by Steve Carr, and "Cowboys and Aliens" for Platinum Studios. Additionally, they have an unannounced feature project in the works for Sony Pictures Animation, as well as "Tinker Bell and the Great Fairy Rescue" (2010),which was released in 2010.
Other notable assignments include the comedy "I Love You Again" (2000) for New Line Cinema, as well as their original screenplay "Scared Guys" (2000),which is currently in development at Sony Pictures with Adam Sandler's "Happy Madison Productions". Bob and Rob also did rewrites on "Stuck on You" (2003) for the Farrelly Brothers, and wrote "Father Knows Best" for Nickelodeon/Paramount. Their original screenplay "Small World" (2012) is inactive at Fox.
A turning point for Bob & Rob came in 2005, when they were hired to write "Monsters, Inc.: The Video Game" (2002) and "Toy Story 3" (2010) for Walt Disney Pictures. This marked their introduction to the world of animated feature films, and they were instantly hooked.
Their original screenplay "Scared Guys" (2000) is still active at Sony Pictures with Adam Sandler's "Happy Madison Productions", attached. Bob and Rob also did rewrites on "Stuck on You" (2003) for Twentieth Century Fox, and wrote "Father Knows Best" for Nickelodeon and Paramount. Their original screenplay "Small World" (2012) is inactive in development at Fox 2000.
In 2003, Bob and Rob wrote and directed their award-winning comedy short film "Hiding in Walls" (2002),which starred Jane Lynch and Danny Trejo. The film satirizes their adventures as Hollywood screenwriters. Their television writing credits include the produced pilot "Grown-Ups" (1998) for Columbia/Tri-Star Television, which starred Sam Seder, Julie Warner, Farrah Forke, Michael Weatherly, and Pat Finn.
When Bob & Rob are not writing, they enjoy sitting around and talking about how similar their names are.
