About Ryan Northrup
Ryan Northrup is a Senior Staff Writer on ScreenRant's Movie & TV News team, where he has authored nearly 5,000 articles, including features and reviews. A graduate of McMaster University, Ryan began his career in public relations before attending Vancouver Film School. There, he built lasting industry connections and optioned a feature film screenplay.
Industry Focus
As a Senior Staff Writer at ScreenRant, Ryan covers a wide range of film and TV releases. From blockbuster franchises to Netflix originals to indie gems, his writing spans the full spectrum of scripted entertainment. Much of his work focuses on major action franchises such as John Wick, Mission: Impossible, and Fast & Furious.
Favorite Media
Ryan recently discovered his passion for the world of Avatar and would love to vacation on Pandora if the Na'vi would have him. Outside of thinking about the tall blue people, he enjoys adding to his increasingly unwieldy 4K Blu-ray collection or defending the 2005 film Sahara, which should have been a bigger hit.
