Timothy John Bevan, CBE (born December 1957) is a British film producer,[1] the co-chairman (with Eric Fellner) of the production company Working Title Films.

Early life

Bevan was born in Queenstown, New Zealand, in December 1957.[2] Bevan was educated at Sidcot School, a Quaker boarding independent school in the Mendip Hills, near the village of Winscombe in North Somerset, in South West England.

Life and career

Bevan 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 also the co-producer of the West End musical Billy Elliot.

Bevan is divorced from English actress Joely Richardson; the two have a daughter, Daisy, born in 1992. He is now married to Amy Gadney, they have a daughter Nell, born 2001 and a son Jago, born 2003.
