Early life

Johnson, who was born in Seattle, graduated from the University of Puget Sound, where he studied philosophy and writing.[2][3]

Career

Johnson's first film was 1989's Damned River, which he co-wrote with John Crowther.[2] Damned River, which was filmed in Zimbabwe in 1988, remains on Netflix's "top 20 action movies of the 1980s," as of 2016.[3][3] Together with Matthew Horton, Johnson co-wrote the 1997 film adaptation of Mowgli & Baloo, which was released by TriStar Pictures.[2] He also co-wrote 1998's Tarzan and the Lost City, loosely based on the Tarzan stories by stories by Edgar Rice Burroughs.

In 2007, Johnson and actor Bill Duke co-produced Cover, a film which explores the HIV epidemic.[2] Duke and Johnson also wrote a television series for HBO, which did not air.[3]

Johnson co-authored the 2013 book, "If You’ve Forgotten the Names of the Clouds, You’ve Lost Your Way: An Introduction to American Indian Thought and Philosophy," with the late Russell Means, a Oglala Lakota Native American rights activist.[2] Together, John and Means directed, produced and penned Looks Twice, a short film based on a Lakota story.[3]

In addition to his writing, Johnson co-founded Mother Nature’s Army, a band based in Southern California.[2]

Johnson died from cancer on February 10, 2016, in Los Angeles, California, on the age of 63.[2] He was survived by his parents, Richard and Virginia Johnson; his wife, Lyndal; two sons, Colter and Ronan; and three siblings, Douglas, Silver Moon and Alicia.[2] One of his sons, Colter Johnson, penned and directed the 2015 film, Man in a Cage, which has not yet been released.[2]
