Loeb's debut in filmmaking was his collaboration with Matthew Weisman in authoring the script of ''[[Teen Wolf]]''. The film was released on August 23, 1985, and was a notable starring role for [[Michael J. Fox]]. Loeb and Weisman then collaborated in writing the script of ''[[Commando (1985 film)|Commando]]''. The film was released on October 4, 1985, and starred [[Arnold Schwarzenegger]].<ref>{{Cite web|last=Marnell|first=Blair|title=Marvel Creates New TV Development Department, Jeph Loeb Named Executive V.P.|url=http://www.mtv.com/news/2596965/marvel-creates-new-tv-development-department-jeph-loeb-named-executive-vp/|access-date=2020-08-19|website=MTV News|language=en|archive-date=August 30, 2021|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20210830164557/http://www.mtv.com/news/2596965/marvel-creates-new-tv-development-department-jeph-loeb-named-executive-vp/|url-status=dead}}</ref> His next screen credit was the film ''[[Burglar (film)|Burglar]]'', released on March 20, 1987. The plot was based on the novels of [[Lawrence Block]] about fictional [[burglar]] [[Bernie Rhodenbarr]]. His collaborators were Weisman and [[Hugh Wilson (director)|Hugh Wilson]].

The film was atypical for the time, featuring a female [[comedic]] role for starring actress [[Whoopi Goldberg]].<ref>{{Cite web|title=Jeph Loeb {{!}} TV Guide|url=https://www.tvguide.com/celebrities/jeph-loeb/credits/293661|access-date=2020-08-19|website=TVGuide.com|language=en|archive-date=August 9, 2017|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20170809233752/http://www.tvguide.com/celebrities/jeph-loeb/credits/293661/|url-status=live}}</ref> His second film that year was ''[[Teen Wolf Too]]'', a sequel of ''Teen Wolf'', which was co-written by Weisman and [[Tim Kring]]. The film was released on November 20, 1987. The film featured [[teen idol]] [[Jason Bateman]] and veteran actor [[John Astin]]. Loeb would re-team with Kring almost two decades later for the TV series ''Heroes''. Four years later, Loeb was working on a script for ''[[Flash (comics)|The Flash]]'' as a feature with [[Warner Bros.]] While the script deal fell through, Loeb met then publisher [[Jenette Kahn]] who asked Loeb to write a comic book for [[DC Comics]].

In 2002, Jeph Loeb wrote the script for the episode of ''[[Smallville]]'', entitled "Red", which introduced red [[kryptonite]] into the series. He became a supervising producer and has written many episodes since then. He signed a three-year contract, and although producers Miles Millar and Alfred Gough offered to keep him on for future seasons, Loeb left to care for his son, who had cancer (''See Comics career below'').<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.kryptonsite.com/loeb0805.htm|title=Interview with Loeb at Kryptonsite|publisher=Kryptonsite.com|access-date=October 14, 2010|archive-date=February 22, 2012|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20120222050040/http://www.kryptonsite.com/loeb0805.htm|url-status=live}}</ref>

Loeb later became a writer/producer on the [[American Broadcasting Company|ABC]] TV series ''[[Lost (2004 TV series)|Lost]]'' during that show's second season. Leaving ''Lost'', Loeb went on to become Co-Executive Producer and writer on the NBC drama ''[[Heroes (American TV series)|Heroes]]'', which his colleague Tim Kring had created. Loeb wrote the teleplay for the first-season episodes "[[Heroes season 1#ep3|One Giant Leap]]" and "[[Unexpected (Heroes)|Unexpected]]". The show prominently features the artwork of Tim Sale, Loeb's longtime comics collaborator.<ref>George, Richard (October 26, 2010).

On November 2, 2008, ''[[Variety (magazine)|Daily Variety]]'' reported that Loeb and fellow ''Heroes'' co-executive producer, [[Jesse Alexander]], were no longer employed on the series. In an interview with Comic Book Resources, Loeb stated, "As of today, Jesse Alexander and I have left ''Heroes''. I'm incredibly proud to have been a big part of the success a show with eight Emmy nods and a win this year for NBC.com. I will miss the superb cast and writing staff and wish everyone the best." At the time, Loeb had completed writing and producing the third-season episode, "[[Dual (Heroes)|Dual]]".<ref name=Variety/><ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.cbr.com/heroes-shake-up-loeb-alexander-out/|title='Heroes' Shake-Up, Loeb & Alexander Out|publisher=[[Comic Book Resources]]|date=November 2, 2008|access-date=October 14, 2010|archive-date=August 19, 2019|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20190819234704/https://www.cbr.com/heroes-shake-up-loeb-alexander-out/|url-status=live}}</ref>
