From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Tim Bevan (b. 1958, Queenstown, New Zealand) is a successful movie producer.

Tim Bevan co-founded Working Title Films in London with Eric Fellner in the 1980s, and the company has produced some of the most successful British films of the last fifteen years. Among Bevan's more than 40 films as producer or executive producer are Fargo, O Brother, Where Art Thou?, Captain Corelli's Mandolin, Love Actually, Notting Hill, Elizabeth and Bridget Jones's Diary.

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. The former couple was married from 1992 until 2001.
