Johan Renck Biography

Johan Renck is one of the most popular and richest Film Director who was born on December 5, 1966 in Uppsala, Uppland, Sweden. Renck was born December 5, 1966. He was born in Uppsala, Sweden, the son of a scientist and Professor Hans Renck and nurse Marina Kylberg. Hans was a professor at several universities in the world and the Renck family was able to move around and resided throughout Miami, Uppsala, Malmo, Tromso and Kuwait. He graduated from the Stockholm School of Economics with an economics degree.

Additionally, Renck directed a fashion art film called Decadent Control for Imagine Fashion that premiered in March 2011. The film featured Roberto Cavalli, Eva Herzigova, Kirsty Hume and Brad Kroenig and featured fashions from Agent Provocateur as well as H&M.

He told Swedish magazine Cafe in 2017 that for a while he preferred to direct pilots (Vikings, Bloodline), but now rather works on mini-series, where one can direct all episodes, such as with The Last Panthers. He says he turned down Better Call Saul, Game of Thrones and Homeland. He told the magazine: “And as the director of a TV-episode, you only have around 25 percent of input. There are two kinds of TV projects that I still agree to do, one is television series where each episode is a separate “entity”, like Black Mirror, and the other is miniseries where you can do all the episodes, as I did with The Last Panthers. But of course I am very happy that Breaking Bad happened, it was very educational and exciting and fresh. Plus, it got such a huge status – people still call me because of it.”

In the fall of 2019 it was announced that he was attached to the feature film Spaceman of Bohemia an adaptation to the book by U.S. based, Czech born writer Jaroslav Kalfař. The film is set up under Channing Tatum’s company Free Association.

The first film of Renck’s, Downloading Nancy, 2008 was screened in the Sundance Film Festival on 21 January 2008 in Park City, Utah. Although the film didn’t get the best reviews, it did get an inquiry for a call from Breaking Bad creator Vince Gilligan. He was the director of three episodes of the AMC TV drama Breaking Bad, and moved to direct an season of The Walking Dead, Halt and Catch Fire as well as Bates Motel.
