They went on to co-write the popular sci-fi romance Star Man, about an alien who takes the form of a young widow's husband, directed by John Carpenter and starring Jeff Bridges in the title role. This was followed by Stand By Me, which also garnered the Independent Spirit Award for Best Screenplay and a Writer's Guild Award nomination, among other accolades.
Gideon also co-wrote with Evans Made In Heaven, directed by Alan Rudolph and starring Timothy Hutton and Kelly McGillis; Kuffs, on which Evans made his directorial debut; and the pirate adventure Cutthroat Island directed by Rennie Harlin. Most recently, Gideon and Evans co-wrote the hit Tim Allen comedy Jungle 2 Jungle, adapted from the French film Un Indien Dans La Ville. The duo also served as production consultants on the family adventure Honey, I Shrunk The Kids.
