Biographie
Alan Marshall was born in England in 1938. At 24, he entered the British film industry and reached a major milestone in 1975 by founding a production company with director Alan Parker, whom he met while both worked at a London advertising agency.
Marshall's first producer credit was on the 1976 film "Bugsy Malone," which achieved both critical acclaim and commercial success for the duo. Just two years later, he earned an Academy Award nomination for the acclaimed "Midnight Express," directed by Parker.
Over the next years, Marshall produced at least five more Parker films, including cult favorites such as "Shoot the Moon," "The Wall," "Fame," "Birdy," and "Angel Heart," featuring Mickey Rourke and Robert De Niro. In late 1989, while completing post-production on "Jacob's Ladder," Marshall became a U.S. resident.
In 1992, he began another creative partnership with director Paul Verhoeven on "Basic Instinct," which grossed over $400 million worldwide. They continued collaborating on global box office hits like "Starship Troopers" and "Hollow Man."
Marshall's other productions include classics such as "Jacob's Ladder," directed by Adrian Lyne, and "Cliffhanger," directed by Renny Harlin and starring Sylvester Stallone. He also produced "Another Country," directed by Marek Kanievska, as well as the notorious "Showgirls," directed by Paul Verhoeven.
To date, films produced by Alan Marshall have won four Academy Awards out of eighteen nominations, in addition to eight Golden Globes and twelve BAFTAs.
In 1985, alongside Alan Parker, Marshall received the British Film and Television Academy's Michael Balcon Award for his outstanding contribution to cinema.
