Jeremy Thomas

Jeremy Jack Thomas, CBE (born 26 July 1949) is a British film producer, founder of the Recorded Picture Company. He produced Bernardo Bertolucci's ''The Last Emperor'', which won the 1988 Academy Award for Best Picture. In 2006 he received a European Film Award for Outstanding European Achievement in World Cinema. His father was director Ralph Thomas (director of many of the "Doctor" films), while his uncle Gerald Thomas directed all of the films in the Carry on franchise.
==Life and career==
Cinema has always been a part of Thomas' life. He was born in London, England into a filmmaking family with his father, Ralph Philip Thomas, and uncle, Gerald, both directors.〔(【引用サイトリンク】 url=http://www.filmreference.com/film/99/Jeremy-Thomas.html )〕 His childhood ambition was to work in cinema. As soon as he left school he went to work in various positions, ending up in the cutting rooms working on films such as ''The Harder They Come'', ''Family Life'' and ''The Golden Voyage of Sinbad'', and worked through the ranks to become a film editor for Ken Loach on ''A Misfortune''.
After editing Philippe Mora's ''Brother, Can You Spare a Dime?'', he produced his first film ''Mad Dog Morgan'' in 1974 in Australia. He then returned to England to produce Jerzy Skolimowski's ''The Shout'', which won the Grand Prix de Jury at the Cannes Film Festival.
Thomas' films are all highly individual and his independence of spirit has paid off both artistically and commercially. His extensive output of over forty films includes three films directed by Nicolas Roeg:'' Bad Timing'', ''Eureka'' and ''Insignificance'', Julien Temple's ''The Great Rock 'n' Roll Swindle'', Nagisa Oshima's ''Merry Christmas, Mr. Lawrence'', and ''The Hit'' directed by Stephen Frears.
In 1986, Thomas produced Bernardo Bertolucci's epic, ''The Last Emperor'', an independently financed project that was three years in the making. A commercial and critical triumph, the film swept the board at the 1987 Academy Awards, garnering an outstanding nine Oscars including Best Picture.
Thomas has since completed many films including Karel Reisz's film of Arthur Miller's screenplay ''Everybody Wins'', Bertolucci's film of Paul Bowles' ''The Sheltering Sky'', ''Little Buddha'' and ''Stealing Beauty'', David Cronenberg's films of William S. Burroughs' ''Naked Lunch'', J. G. Ballard's ''Crash'' and Christopher Hampton's ''A Dangerous Method'' (based on Hampton's ''The Talking Cure''). In 1997 Thomas directed ''All the Little Animals'', starring John Hurt and Christian Bale, which was in Official Selection at Cannes. Notable recent credits include Jonathan Glazer's debut film ''Sexy Beast'', Takeshi Kitano's ''Brother'', Khyentse Norbu's ''The Cup'', Phillip Noyce's ''Rabbit-Proof Fence,'' David Mackenzie's film of Alexander Trocchi's ''Young Adam'', Bernardo Bertolucci's ''The Dreamers'', Terry Gilliam's ''Tideland'', Wim Wenders' ''Don't Come Knocking'', Richard Linklater's ''Fast Food Nation'' and Gerald McMorrow's ''Franklyn'', starring Eva Green, Sam Riley and Ryan Phillippe. His film, Jon Amiel's ''Creation'', about the life of Charles Darwin, with Paul Bettany and Jennifer Connelly in the leads, was the Opening Gala of the 2009 Toronto Film Festival.
In 2010, Thomas premiered Jerzy Skolimowski's ''Essential Killing'' and Takashi Miike's ''13 Assassins'' at the Venice Film Festival, both of which he executive-produced. ''Essential Killing'' went on to win the Jury Prize and two others, a triple win unprecedented in the Festival's history. He also executive-produced Wim Wenders' 3D dance film ''Pina'', which premiered at the 2011 Berlinale. At Cannes 2011, Thomas premiered Takashi Miike's new film, ''Hara-Kiri: Death of a Samurai'', the first 3D film to show in Competition.
Thomas' recent releases include David Cronenberg's ''A Dangerous Method'', written by Christopher Hampton and starring Keira Knightley, Viggo Mortensen, Michael Fassbender and Vincent Cassel, which premiered at Venice and Toronto Film Festivals 2011. In 2012, he launched the epic ''Kon-Tiki'', the true story of Thor Heyerdahl's legendary raft adventure directed by Joachim Roenning and Espen Sandberg, which was nominated for a Golden Globe and Academy Award for Best Foreign Film. In 2014, Thomas released Jim Jarmusch's vampire opus ''Only Lovers Left Alive'' starring Tilda Swinton, Tom Hiddleston, Mia Wasikowska and John Hurt, and Richard Shepard's black comedy ''Dom Hemingway'' starring Jude Law, Richard E. Grant, Demian Bichir and Emilia Clarke.
He is currently in post-production on an adaptation of J.G. Ballard's 1970s dystopian novel ''High-Rise'', written by Amy Jump and to be directed by Ben Wheatley, starring Tom Hiddleston, Jeremy Irons, Sienna Miller, Luke Evans and Elisabeth Moss.
Thomas has said of his ethos:
In 1998, Thomas founded his international sales arm, HanWay Films, to service his own productions. HanWay has since expanded to sell third party projects as well as handling the libraries of many of the world's best-known filmmakers.
Thomas was Chairman of the British Film Institute from August 1992 until December 1997 and has been the recipient of many awards throughout the world, including the Michael Balcon Award for Outstanding British Contribution to Cinema from BAFTA, and the European Film Award for Outstanding European Achievement in World Cinema. He has been President of the Jury at Tokyo Film Festival, San Sebastian Film Festival, Berlin Film Festival〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Berlinale: 1994 Juries )〕 and Cannes Film Festival (Un Certain Regard) and has also served on the main jury at Cannes. He was made a Life Fellow of the British Film Institute in 2000.
Thomas was appointed Commander of the Order of the British Empire (CBE) in the 2009 New Year Honours.
In March 2010, at the opening address of the FT Business of Film Summit in Doha, Tarak Ben Ammar announced: "Where I think Arab money should be going is to help finance the Jeremy Thomases of the world."〔 〕
