  • Frank Cottrell Boyce (born 1959, Liverpool) is a British screenwriter, novelist and occasional actor, best known for his collaborations with film director Michael Winterbottom. Cottrell Boyce was an undergraduate at Keble College, Oxford and then completed a doctorate in English, also at Oxford University. Prior to his career as a screenwriter, he wrote criticism for the magazine Living Marxism. As a result there was supposedly always a copy of the magazine on sale in the newsagent set of long-running British soap Coronation Street, while Cottrell Boyce was on the writing staff of that programme. After he met Winterbottom, the two collaborated on Forget About Me. Winterbottom made five further films based on screenplays written by Cottrell Boyce, Butterfly Kiss, Welcome to Sarajevo, The Claim, 24 Hour Party People and Code 46. Their latest collaboration, A Cock and Bull Story, will be their last according to Cottrell Boyce, who asked that his contribution be credited to Martin Hardy, a pseudonym. He told Variety, "I just had to move on ... what better way to walk away than by giving Winterbottom a good script for free?" Other film directors Cottrell Boyce has worked with include Danny Boyle, Alex Cox, Richard Laxton and Anand Tucker. Cottrell Boyce has been praised by, among others, Roger Ebert, as one of the few truly inventive modern-day screenwriters. He has spoken against the "three-act structure" and the "hero's journey" formulas, which are often regarded as automatic truths in the business. In addition to original scripts, Cottrell Boyce has also adapted novels for the screen and written children's fiction, winning the 2004 Carnegie Medal for his debut, Millions, based on his own screenplay for the film of the same name. His novel Framed was shortlisted for the Whitbread Book of the Year as well as the Carnegie Medal. He adapted the novel into a screenplay for a 2009 BBC television film. His 2009 novel Cosmic has also been shortlisted for the Carnegie Medal. In addition to Coronation Street, he wrote many episodes of the soap opera Brookside, as well as its spin-off Damon and Debbie. He wrote and staged his first original theatre production Proper Clever at the Liverpool Playhouse during the European Capital of Culture Year 2008. He is married and the father of seven children.

Før han begynte som forfatter var Boyce litteraturkritiker i magasinet Living Marxism. En følge av dette er at det i serien Coronation Street alltid var et eksemplar av magasinet til salgs i aviskiosken mens Boyce var i seriens forfatterstab. Etter at han ble kjent med Winterbottom samarbeidet de to om Forget About Me. Samarbeidet var vellykket, og Winterbottom lagde ytterligere seks filmer basert på manus av Boyce: Butterfly Kiss, Welcome to Sarajevo, The Claim, 24 Hour Party People, Code 46 og A Cock and Bull Story. Sistnevnte film er ifølge Boyce den siste de samarbeidet om, og han ble kreditert under pseudonymet Martin Hardy. Blant andre regissører han har samarbeidet med finner man Danny Boyle, Alex Cox og Annad Tucker.
