Biografi
Tom Reeve grew up in Aylesbury, England. Born to director and producer Geoffrey Reeve and Gina Gurney, he was surrounded by filmmaking from a very young age. He honed his early skills managing his father's productions and shortly after moved to Luxembourg to found the country's largest film studios.
As one of Europe's renowned filmmakers in the industry, Tom brought the new Hollywood era to central Europe and combined it with his financial and production expertise to create European cult classics such as 'Dog Soldiers (2002)'. For over 35 years Tom has worked on an extraordinary number of commercially successful and critically acclaimed credits, either as a director, producer or writer, and has been the recipient of various accolades including multiple Golden Globes and Primetime Emmy Awards.
As a director Tom has been awarded Best Film at the Friars Club New York Comedy Awards and the Audience Award from the Lighthouse International Film Festival for his Irish comedy 'Hard Times (2009)', he broke box office records for his medieval action feature 'George and the Dragon (2004)' and received critical acclaim for his heart-warming family feature 'Diggity's Treasure (2001)'.
Thus far Tom has had the pleasure of directing the late Michael Clarke Duncan and Patrick Swayze, along with Val Kilmer, Andrew McCarthy, Linda Hamilton, James Purefoy, Piper Perabo, Joan Plowright, Paul Freeman, Simon Callow and Louise Lombard. Furthermore, as a second unit director he has worked with the talents of Gerard Butler, Rutger Hauer, Jack Davenport, Christopher Lee, Christopher Lambert and Emilie de Ravin to name but a few.
Tom also specialised in action and stunt directing - most notably on the WWI drama 'The Lost Battalion (2001)' where he won a Christopher Award for his stunt/aerial unit work with bi-planes and helicopters, as well as three Emmy nominations while producing the film.
As a producer, the list of awards continues with Golden Globes and Emmy awards for his WWII drama 'One Against the Wind (1991)' starring Kate Beckinsale, Sam Neill, and Judy Davis.
Tom started the production company, Centurion, in 1987 which continues to house both film and television productions having produced nearly 50 films to date including features such as Wing Commander (1999), The Musketeer (2001) and Tale of the Mummy (1998). Centurion now operates from Luxembourg, Los Angeles and London.
