''Riflemind'' opened in London in 2008, directed by Philip Seymour Hoffman but closed after a short run due to uniformly poor notices 〔(【引用サイトリンク】work=Evening Standard )〕 and the pressure of the Global Financial Crisis. In 2008, Upton and wife Cate Blanchett became joint artistic directors of the Sydney Theatre Company for what became a five-year term.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.theaustralian.com.au/arts/stage/for-upton-its-words-that-count/story-fn9d344c-1226452081055 )〕 Upton and Blanchett formed a film production company, Dirty Films, whose projects include the short film ''Bangers'' (1999) and the feature film ''Little Fish'' (2006).
