Hallstrom, who earned an Oscar nomination for his work on The Cider House Rules, most recently directed the 2001 Miramax drama The Shipping News. He also helmed the upcoming Miramax drama An Unfinished Life, which stars Jennifer Lopez and Robert Redford and is slated for release next year. Hallstrom is repped by UTA.
