Wyck Godfrey is an American film and television producer and entertainment executive who has generated billions of dollars at the global box office. He is best known as the co-founder of the prolific production company Temple Hill Entertainment, under which he produced some of the most successful young-adult franchise adaptations in modern cinematic history, including all five films in The Twilight Saga. Known for his keen eye for commercial literary adaptations, Godfrey has seamlessly balanced the responsibilities of an independent producer with those of a high-level studio executive.
Godfrey began his Hollywood career in creative development, working at New Line Cinema and later Horizon Pictures before establishing a long-standing creative partnership with former talent agent Marty Bowen. In 2006, the duo founded Temple Hill Entertainment, immediately launching a string of commercially lucrative projects. Beyond the massive success of the Twilight franchise which grossed over $3 billion worldwide Godfrey spearheaded major box-office hits such as I, Robot (2004), the Maze Runner trilogy, and critically acclaimed page-to-screen adaptations like The Fault in Our Stars (2014) and Love, Simon (2018). He also backed prestigious biographical dramas, including Damien Chazelle's Neil Armstrong biopic First Man (2018).
In 2018, Godfrey stepped away from his day-to-day role at Temple Hill after being named President of Paramount Pictures' Motion Picture Group. During his high-profile studio tenure, he managed creative development, casting, and production, overseeing massive theatrical hits like A Quiet Place (2018), Rocketman (2019), and Mission: Impossible Fallout (2018). He returned to his true passion for independent producing at Temple Hill, where he expands his portfolio with streaming and television content. His recent notable projects include executive producing the Amazon Prime Video romance series Off Campus and the upcoming Netflix animated series Midnight Sun, alongside feature films like Smile 2 and People We Meet on Vacation.
