保罗·约翰 “P. J.”霍根（生于1962年11月30日）是澳大利亚电影导演。

霍根出生于昆士兰州布里斯班。十几岁时，霍根住在新南威尔士州北海岸，就读于圣帕特里克山学院，据说他在高中时过得很艰难，因为他是欺凌的受害者。

他的第一部大热门是 1994 年的澳大利亚电影《穆里尔的婚礼》，这部电影帮助演员托妮·科莱特和瑞秋·格里菲斯开启了职业生涯。这部电影的成功也使他被朱莉娅·罗伯茨选中执导他 1997 年的美国处女作《我最好的朋友的婚礼》，该片也由卡梅隆·迪亚兹和德莫特·马尔罗尼主演。

霍根继《我最好朋友的婚礼》之后又拍摄了喜剧片《无条件的爱》（1999年拍摄，但直到2003年才上映），以及2003年由杰森·艾萨克斯（Jason Isaacs）饰演胡克船长、杰里米·桑普特（Jeremy Sumpter）饰演彼得·潘（Peter Pan）和瑞秋·赫德-伍德（Rachel Hurd-Wood）饰演温迪（Wendy）的大预算改编版。次年，他执导了一部翻拍自邪典肥皂剧《黑影》（Dark Shadows）的试播片，该剧没有播出，并为2008年的音乐电影《美国购物中心》（The American Mall）创作了这个故事。随后，他执导了改编自小说《购物狂的秘密梦境》的《购物狂的自白》（由伊斯拉·费舍尔主演）。未来，他将执导一部由Blue Balliett的著作《追逐维米尔》（Chasing Vermeer）改编的电影。

霍根与电影导演乔斯林·摩尔豪斯（Jocelyn Moorhouse）结婚。

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia. Paul John "P. J." Hogan (born 30 November 1962 ) is an Australian film director.

Hogan was born in Brisbane, Queensland. As a teenager, Hogan lived on the North Coast of New South Wales and attended Mt St Patrick's College and was said to have had a difficult time in high school as he was a victim of bullying.

His first big hit was the 1994 Australian film Muriel's Wedding, which helped launch the careers of actors Toni Collette and Rachel Griffiths. The success of the film also led him to be chosen by Julia Roberts to direct his 1997 American debut My Best Friend's Wedding, which also starred Cameron Diaz and Dermot Mulroney.

Hogan followed up My Best Friend's Wedding with the comedy Unconditional Love (which was filmed in 1999 but not released until 2003), and 2003's big budget adaptation of Peter Pan starring Jason Isaacs as Captain Hook, Jeremy Sumpter as Peter Pan and Rachel Hurd-Wood as Wendy. The following year he directed a pilot for a remake of the cult soap opera Dark Shadows, which was not picked up for broadcast, and created the story for the 2008 musical film The American Mall. He then directed Confessions of a Shopaholic (starring Isla Fisher), an adaptation of the novel The Secret Dreamworld of a Shopaholic. He will be directing a film of Blue Balliett's book Chasing Vermeer in the future.  

Hogan is married to film director Jocelyn Moorhouse.
