David Mickey Evans (born October 20, 1962) is an American film director and screenwriter.

[1] He became one of the highest paid screenwriters during this time, selling the screenplays to both Radio Flyer and The Sandlot for over $1,000,000 each.

Radio Flyer was originally to be directed by Evans, but he was replaced by Richard Donner due to his inexperience.

The original script called for more fantasy sequences involving a worm man and zombies but these ideas were scrapped when Richard Donner replaced Evans.

[1] Success for Evans became fleeting by the late 1990s, with films like First Kid,[2] and Ed bombing with critics and at the box office.
