He co-wrote and produced Godzilla, and produced The Patriot starring Mel Gibson, which was nominated for three Academy Awards. 

Devlin’s first production under the “Electric” banner was Eight Legged Freaks, released by Warner Bros. and Village Roadshow in July 2002.  Electric’s next project, Cellular starred Kim Basinger and was released by New Line in Fall 2004.  Devlin’s most recent project The Librarian aired on TNT network in December 2004 and was the highest rated movie on cable that year.

Dean Devlin is also recognized as a leader in the development of digital entertainment. Devlin is one of the first producers to use the state-of-the-art digital 35mm Genesis cameras for Flyboys. He was the guiding force behind the inception of an interactive division while a partner in Centropolis, to create an on-line gaming center and develop innovative entertaining/informational website and games to expand Centropolis’ reach among the sci-fi community. Devlin created the first movie marketing website in connection with the theatrical release of Stargate in 1994 (with much of the successful opening weekend box-office attributed to the ground-breaking grass roots efforts with the site visitors); commissioned the development of a multi-player ID4 on-line game which was packaged with the film on DVD; developed the first webshow (in partnership with Intel) for the broadcast television series The Visitor (commissioned by Fox in 1997); and championed the release of the multi-player Godzilla on-line game, day-and-date with the release of the film (give-away via CD-ROM to 2,500 Taco Bell outlets, a first in the Interactive realm).

Dean Devlin developed mothership.com, a favorite destination for sci-fi entertainment and news on the Web, featuring genre-specific search engine capabilities, EON Magazine (weekly sci-fi webzine), an on-line Gaming Center, e-mail, message boards and community areas.  USA Networks acquired the site in June 2000 and merged the content into scifi.com.
