In Memoriam Jeremy Thomas

Celebrated British Producer Dies at the Age of 77

Born in London in 1949, Jeremy Thomas started working in film right after school and started producing in the mid-70s. He founded his own production company and was later part of Hanway Films.

Throughout his impressive career, Jeremy Thomas produced more than 80 films, among them MERRY CHRISTMAS MR. LAWRENCE by Nagisa Oshima and starring David Bowie (1983), THE BRAVE by Johnny Depp (1997), SEXY BEAST by Jonathan Glazer (2000) for which Ben Kingsley received the award EUROPEAN ACTOR 2001, and RABBIT-PROOF FENCE by Phillip Noyce (2002).

He worked with David Cronenberg on NAKED LUNCH (1991) and again on CRASH (1996) and is known for a great partnership with director Bernardo Bertolucci with whom he made films such as THE LAST EMPEROR (1987) for which they received an Oscar and a BAFTA and Bertolucci received a SPECIAL JURY AWARD at the very first European Film Awards in 1988, STEALING BEAUTY (1996), and THE DREAMERS (2003).

Jeremy Thomas produced YOUNG ADAM by David Mackenzie (2003), DON’T COME KNOCKING by Wim Wenders, TIDELAND by Terry Gilliam (both 2005) and FAST FOOD NATION by Richard Linklater (2006).

Among his productions are ONLY LOVERS LEFT ALIVE by Jim Jarmusch (2013), DOGMAN by Matteo Garrone and THE MAN WHO KILLED DON QUIXOTE by Terry Gilliam (both 2018) as well as HEEL by Jan Komasa (2025) and – most recently – BUCKING FASTARD by Werner Herzog (2026).

In 2001 he received the British Independent Film Award as Best Producer, and in 2006 the European Film Academy’s European Achievement in World Cinema Award.

Jeremy Thomas died on 11 September 2026. We will miss his subversive humour, his kindness and his generosity.
