Biography

Born in Sydney, Australia from an Italian mother and Croatian father, Robert, eldest of two children has a younger sister, Marie Luketic. Robert Luketic cultivated his film career early when he won his first award for "Best Film" at the ATOM Film Festival at the age of 15. Luketic went on to study at the Victorian College of Arts – School of Film and Television (VCA), one of Australia's most prestigious film schools.

Luketic first attracted Hollywood's attention with his award-winning short film "Titsiana Booberini". After screening to much acclaim at several festivals within Australia, "Titsiana Booberini" became a hit at many internationally renowned festivals including Sundance, Telluride, Aspen and Santa Barbara.

Luketic directed the smash hit comedy "Legally Blonde" for MGM in the summer of 2001. This film, which grossed close to $100 million domestically and was nominated for two Golden Globe Awards, marked Luketic's feature film directing debut.

Next, Luketic directed the Dreamworks Pictures film Win a Date with Tad Hamilton!. The 2003 film, produced by Doug Wick and Lucy Fisher at Red Wagon, stars Kate Bosworth, Nathan Lane, Josh Duhamel and Topher Grace. In 2005, he directed Monster In Law, starring Jennifer Lopez and Jane Fonda, who had came out of a 15-year hiatus for this film.

In addition, Luketic is developing a supernatural romantic drama, One of Us, written by Gerald DiPego (The Forgotten) with Alan Riche and Peter Guber producing for Revolution Studios. Also on Luketic's slate is Matt Helm, for Dreamworks with Team Todd producing. This action-adventure film is based on a series of spy novels written by Donald Hamilton and will mark a major genre-breaking franchise for Luketic.

Other projects include the comedy "Girl Most Likely To" with producer Marc Platt, and "21" based on the novel "Bringing Down the House" by Ben Mezrich.

Luketic currently resides in Los Angeles.
