Inguanzo is a frequent collaborator with director James Mangold, most recently working on the Academy Award-nominated films Ford v Ferrari and Logan. As a consultant, he has worked with directors, writers, production designers, and executives, contributing his research, world building skills, and character ideas that are then utilized in the story development and scriptwriting process.[6][7]
Inguanzo began his career with an apprenticeship at Walt Disney Pictures with Dean Tavoularis, the acclaimed production designer of The Godfather films. He served as a primary aide to director Sam Raimi during the Spider-Man trilogy, and worked with Academy Award-winning screenwriter Alvin Sargent during story and script development for what were initially planned as the third and fourth final installments of the film franchise.[8]
In 2013, Inguanzo directed and produced Tomas Milian: Acting on Instinct, also executive produced by Academy Award-winner Bob Murawski, which was included in the digitally remastered Blu-ray release of Spaghetti Western cult classic The Big Gundown.[9]
Inguanzo's latest book, Ghostbusters: Afterlife: The Art and Making of the Movie, was published by Titan Books December 7, 2021. The book provides an in-depth look at the creative development and production of the next chapter in the original Ghostbusters universe. Ghostbusters: Afterlife director Jason Reitman supplies the book's foreword.[20][21]
Inguanzo's first book, Constructing Green Lantern: From Page to Screen, was published by DC Comics and Rizzoli in 2011, chronicling the visual development and making of the Warner Bros. live-action feature film starring Ryan Reynolds. The book's introduction was written by comic book writer, screenwriter, and producer Geoff Johns.[22]
In 2014, Rizzoli published Inguanzo's next book, Zombies on Film: The Definitive Story of Undead Cinema, a non-fiction history of the Zombie film genre throughout its first nine decades.[23] Japanese and French translations of the book were subsequently published by PIE International (ゾンビ映画年代記) and Hoëbeke (Les Zombies au Cinéma).[24][25]
