MICHAEL KAPLAN (Costume Designer) reunites with Ridley Scott on "Matchstick Men", having worked on the 1982 groundbreaking classic "Blade Runner", for which Kaplan shared a British Academy Award for his costume designs.

Kaplan, whose trend-setting designs ("Flashdance") and evocative historic recreations ("Pearl Harbor") often influence the collective fashion consciousness, has also collaborated with such noted filmmakers as David Finsher ("Seven", "The Game", "Fight Club", "The Panic Room"), Michael Bay ("Pearl Harbor" and "Armageddon"), Harold Becker ("Malice"), Taylor Hackford ("Against All Odds"), Adrian Lyne ("Flashdance") and, most recently, Martin Brest ("Gigli").

He earned a nomination from the Costumer Designers Guild for "Fight Club" and a Saturn Award nomination from the Academy of Science-Fiction, Fantasy and Horror for "Armageddon".
