T.J. Fixman

<p>What does it take to write one of the biggest movies in Netflix history — from scratch?</p><p>This week, we sit down with screenwriter T.J. Fixman, the man behind Carry-On — the Christmas action thriller that broke Netflix records, racked up over 172 million views, and sparked a genuine cultural debate: is this the new Die Hard?</p><p>Before he was writing Taron Egerton and Jason Bateman into one of the most-watched original films on the planet, Fixman was crafting narratives for video games — most notably the beloved Ratchet &amp; Clank franchise. So how does a game writer crack Hollywood&#39;s most coveted genre: the contained, high-concept, race-against-the-clock thriller?</p><p>We also talk about the Die Hard question, building a villain you never quite see, writing Christmas into the DNA of an action film without making it a gimmick — and what&#39;s coming next with his new project The Seventh Man.</p><p>If you&#39;ve ever stared at a blank page wondering how a single high-concept idea becomes a global phenomenon, this one&#39;s for you.</p><p><br></p><p>Useful Links:</p><p><a href="https://www.netflix.com/title/81476963" target="_blank" rel="ugc noopener noreferrer">Carry-On on Netflix</a></p><p>Most Popular Movies on Netflix - <a href="https://www.netflix.com/tudum/top10/most-popular" target="_blank" rel="ugc noopener noreferrer">Carry-On at #3</a></p><p>Seventh Man sells to United Artists - <a href="https://variety.com/2025/film/news/united-artists-scott-stuber-action-thriller-seventh-man-carry-writer-tj-fixman-1236438473/" target="_blank" rel="ugc noopener noreferrer">Variety</a></p>
