By birth, Goyer is Jewish. He graduated from a local school and then attended the University of Southern California, graduating in 1988. Initially, his plans included admission to the University of Michigan, where David wanted to study as a detective in the Department of Serious Crimes and Homicide, but school teachers timely paid attention to his literary talent and did not give him an abyss.
During his studies, Goyer worked with the popular screenwriter Nelson Gidding, subsequently giving frequent lectures in his classes. David’s debut successful project was the script for the film
Death warrant in 1990. The writer spent his first fee on a new car Isuzu Trooper, stolen on the first night after the acquisition. But it was a very useful experience - from the student bench Goyer was able to take part in a Hollywood project.
One of David’s main gifts was the ability to bring comic book characters to the screen. In the future, due to this, he was able to grow from an ordinary screenwriter to a director. This is perfectly traced in his work - it was David who owned the scripts to such cult films as
The Dark City" The Raven 2: City of Angels and the Blade trilogy.
David Goyer called his best work in cinema a trilogy about half-human half-vampire Blade. In the first two parts of the film, Goyer worked exclusively as a screenwriter, while managing to work as a director in the low-budget dramatic film Zigzag. He considered this experience successful, and he put himself forward as the director of the third part about the adventures of a vampire hunter.
Despite the fact that fans’ responses to the third part were very contradictory, it is believed that David coped with his own work no worse than his predecessors – Stephen Norrington and Guillermo del Toro.
