Tim Bevan, CBE (born 1958) is a film producer.[1]
Bevan was born in Queenstown, New Zealand. He co-founded Working Title Films in London with Sarah Radclyffe and Graham Bradstreet in the 1980s.[1] (Eric Fellner now partners Tim Bevan at Working Title Films). Among Bevan's more than 40 films as producer or executive producer are Moonlight and Valentino, Fargo, O Brother, Where Art Thou?, The Guru, Captain Corelli's Mandolin, Love Actually, Notting Hill, Elizabeth, Bridget Jones's Diary, Atonement, and Frost/Nixon. To date, the films he has co-produced have grossed a total of almost four billion dollars worldwide ($3,939 Million according to www.boxofficemojo.com) without adjusting for inflation.
Working Title Films signed a deal with Universal Studios in 1999 for a reported $600 (USD) million, which gave Bevan and Fellner the power to commission projects with a budget of up to $35 (USD) million without having to consult their paymasters.
Bevan is divorced from English actress Joely Richardson; the two have a daughter, Daisy, born in 1992. He is married to Amy Gadney, they have a daughter Nell, born 2001 and a son Jago, born 2003.
