Pitof

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Pitof is the pseudonym of a French film director and visual effects director whose real name is Jean-Christophe Comar. Most of his work has been in such French language films as La Cité des enfants perdus and Astérix et Obélix contre César, but he has also worked on The Messenger: The Story of Joan of Arc and as the Visual Effects Supervisor on Alien: Resurrection.

His first movie as a director was a historical-fantastic thriller Vidocq, which was moderately popular and has quite a number of devoted fans.

In 2004, he directed the major Hollywood production of Catwoman, starring Halle Berry, "winning" the Razzie award for Worst Director of the year. Although Berry and Catwoman screenwriter John Rogers attended the ceremony in good humor to accept their awards for Worst Actress and Worst Screenplay, Pitof did not make an appearance.
