Author Details

Ryan Northrup is a freelancer entertainment writer based out of Hamilton, Ontario. After working briefly in digital marketing, Ryan shifted his focus to the world of movies and TV, his true passion. Torn between wanting to write about movies and wanting to write his own, Ryan attended Vancouver Film School, developing close friends and industry contacts alike.

Industry Focus

Ryan is a Senior Writer at Screen Rant and a contributor at MovieBozo and Filmhounds, among others. While he covers a wide variety of entertainment, from the biggest blockbusters to the latest Netflix shows to smaller indy movies, much of Ryan’s focus at Screen Rant is on major action franchises.

Favorite Media

Ryan will turn up at the theater for anything that Christopher Nolan makes and thinks Tenet is underrated (“Don’t try to understand it, feel it.”) He passionately believes that Tom Cruise is the single most reliably entertaining movie star alive and agrees with Spielberg that the man saved Hollywood’s butt. Ryan is also desperately hoping for Hannibal season 4.
