At the age of 21, Tim Lake (Domhnall Gleeson) discovers he can
travel in time…
The night after another unsatisfactory New Year party, Tim’s
father (Bill Nighy) tells his son that the men in his family have always had the
ability to travel through time. Tim
can’t change history, but he can change what happens and has happened in his
own life—so he decides to make his world a better place...by getting a
girlfriend. Sadly, that turns out not to
be as easy as you might think.
Moving from the Cornwall coast to London to train as a lawyer, Tim
finally meets the beautiful but insecure Mary (Rachel McAdams). They fall in love, then an unfortunate
time-travel incident means he’s never met her at all. So they meet for the first time again—and
again—but finally, after a lot of cunning time-traveling, he wins her heart.
Tim then uses his power to create the perfect romantic proposal,
to save his wedding from the worst best-man speeches, to save his best friend
from professional disaster and to get his pregnant wife to the hospital in time
for the birth of their daughter, despite a nasty traffic jam outside Abbey
Road.
But as his unusual life progresses, Tim finds out that his unique
gift can’t save him from the sorrows and ups and downs that affect all
families, everywhere. There are great
limits to what time travel can achieve, and it can be dangerous too. About Time is a comedy about love
and time travel, which discovers that, in the end, making the most of life may
not need time travel at all.
Richard Curtis is the writer of TV shows
such as Not the Nine O’Clock News, Blackadder, Mr Bean and The Vicar of
Dibley. His movies include Four Weddings and a Funeral; Notting Hill; Bridget Jones’s Diary; and Love
Actually and The Boat That Rocked,
which he also directed. Most recently,
he co-wrote the screenplay for War Horse.
Production
Information
For more than three decades, filmmaker RICHARD CURTIS has crafted his signature voice in the world of movies
and television, giving audiences unforgettable characters who have alternately allowed
us to laugh at our ever-so-human foibles and to share a tear at the
extraordinary journeys that accompany our ordinary lives.
Curtis began to hone that voice as the writer of classic television shows
such as Not the Nine O’Clock News, Blackadder, Mr Bean and The Vicar of
Dibley. When he moved along to the screen,
Curtis took worldwide audiences by welcome surprise with his writing in the
tender, poignant comedy classics known as Four
Weddings and a Funeral, Notting Hill
and Bridget Jones’s Diary. This experience set the stage for his directorial
debut, the global blockbuster Love
Actually, followed by his love letter to’60s pop music, The Boat That Rocked, which he also helmed.
Now, with About Time, Curtis gives us his most personal film to date.
At the age of 21, Tim Lake (DOMHNALL GLEESON of Anna Karenina, Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: Part 2) discovers he can travel in time…
The night after another unsatisfactory New Year party,
Tim’s father (BILL NIGHY of The
Best Exotic Marigold Hotel, Love
Actually) tells his son that the men in his
family have always had the ability to travel through time. Tim can’t change history, but he can change
what happens and has happened in his own life—so he decides to make his world a
better place...by getting a girlfriend.
Sadly, that turns out not to be as easy as you might think.
Moving from the Cornwall coast to London to train as a
lawyer, Tim finally meets the beautiful but insecure Mary (RACHEL MCADAMS of Mean Girls,
The Notebook, The Vow). They fall in love,
then an unfortunate time-travel incident means he’s never met her at all. So they meet for the first time again—and
again—but finally, after a lot of cunning time traveling, he wins her heart.
Tim then uses his power to create the perfect romantic
proposal, to save his wedding from the worst best-man speeches and to save his
best friend from professional disaster. But
as his unusual life progresses, Tim finds out that his unique gift can’t save
him from the sorrows and ups and downs that affect all families,
everywhere. There are great limits to
what time travel can achieve, and it can be dangerous, too.
About Time is
a comedy about love and time travel, which discovers that, in the end, making
the most of life may not need time travel at all.
The film co-stars
TOM HOLLANDER (Pirates of the Caribbean:
At World’s End, Pride & Prejudice)
as Harry, Tim’s tortured playwright landlord, and MARGOT ROBBIE (television’s Neighbours, upcoming The Wolf of Wall Street) as Charlotte,
the previous love of Tim’s young life.
Curtis has assembled
a behind-the-scenes team that includes director of photography JOHN GULESERIAN (Like Crazy, Breathe In), production designer JOHN PAUL KELLY (The Other Boleyn Girl, The Guard), editor MARK DAY (Harry Potter series, The Girl in the Café), costume designer VERITY
HAWKES (Snatch., Inkheart) and composer NICK LAIRD-CLOWES (Fierce People, The Silent Army).
Collaborating with
writer/director/executive producer Curtis are producers TIM BEVAN (Les Misérables, Rush) and ERIC FELLNER (Les
Misérables, Love Actually), who
have produced all of Curtis’ films, alongside NICKY KENTISH BARNES (Salmon Fishing in the Yemen, About a Boy). They are joined by Curtis’s fellow executive
producers, LIZA CHASIN (Contraband, Les Misérables) and AMELIA GRANGER (Anna Karenina, Les Misérables).
ABOUT THE PRODUCTION
Love,
Family and Time Travel:
From
Script to Screen
The genesis for About Time ignited
from a conversation that Curtis had with a friend about what they would do if
they were told that they had only 24 hours left to live. “We both decided that we’d want a very normal
day at home with the family, doing the things you normally do,” recalls
Curtis. “I thought it was an interesting
observation, and the next step was how I would be able to incorporate this into
a movie. It would have to be about
someone who could manipulate their final day or manipulate their life in some
way to enable them to come to that conclusion.
That’s when I thought about time travel.”
Curtis says that About Time is
an evolution for him, as his early work very much focuses upon the
relationships among friends. He shares:
“Four Weddings is, in many ways, as
much a film about friendship as it is about love. There were a lot of friendships in Love Actually as well.” Naturally, Curtis’s interest in human
dynamics evolved as he grew older. “With
my mum and dad passing away within the last five years, and with my children
all growing up, I am a family man most of all.
This film has as much to do with a brother and sister, a father and
mother as it has to do with love. And, of
course, when two people fall in love, they are finally going to turn into a
mother and a father, and you see that happening during the course of the film.”
The comedy reunites Curtis with Working Title producers Tim Bevan and Eric
Fellner, for the eleventh time in 25 years.
Remembers Bevan: “We did our first film together in 1983 called The Tall Guy. All of Richard’s films have a lot of
familiarities, but are always breaking new ground. The authenticity of a Richard film is that it
will make you laugh, cry and think. About Time returns to the ‘Curtisian’
world in the same vein as Love Actually,
Notting Hill and Four Weddings and a Funeral, but this feels more grown-up and more
reflective. He set out to make a movie
to reflect on the good and bad things in life and to make you appreciate what’s
in front of you.”
Although Fellner finds it difficult to believe that they’ve spent a
quarter of a century creating work together, he’s similarly impressed by his longtime
friend’s evolution as a filmmaker. He
notes: “Richard never settles for good.
He pushes himself as an artist to best his previous work, and audiences
respect that drive. His stories are so
deeply personal, so intimate that it’s impossible not to be drawn into them. I appreciate that he finds humour in the
pathos of our everyday experiences and makes the humdrum extraordinary.”
While love and family
were integral in the creation of Curtis’s vision, the time-travel aspect would
make scripting a very calculated endeavour.
Curtis was careful to make sure rules were in place for Tim and his dad
as they travel through time, so as to make the film’s concept less fantasy and
more endearing. So, what exactly are
those rules? The first is that time
travel may not happen before a man in this family is 21. The second is that one must go into a small
dark place—such as a cupboard, closet or wardrobe—clench his fists and think of
the specific time, date, place and address of where he wants to go. The third is that he can only go to an event
in his own past that he can remember; he can’t go into the future or way back
into history. The fourth? Every decision he makes will have
ramifications on his future.
Producer Nicky Kentish Barnes adds that she admired the unorthodox narrative
put forth by the film’s writer/director.
She says: “About Time is very
autobiographical, in a sense; it’s bits of Richard’s life all put together in a
beautiful and well-crafted story. The
story is very emotional; we had grown men crying on reading the script. It is a slight, sort-of-magic realism with
the time-travel aspect, but it adds to the emotional content, rather than
feeling that it’s taking you out of the story.”
With the shooting script locked, Curtis and his producers set about the exciting
task of finding a young couple who could give voice to his words, along with a
set of family and friends to populate this unique world.
Feeling Loved Up:
Casting About Time
From the start, the producers and casting director FIONA WEIR knew performer
Domhnall Gleeson would be ideal for the role of the time-traveling Tim Lake. However, he did quite shock them upon
introduction.
In the midst of filming Anna
Karenina, Gleeson arrived at a meeting with Curtis, sporting a head of long
hair and bushy beard. Laughs Curtis of
the meeting: “At first, Domhnall was very difficult to cast. He turned up with this enormous orange beard,
and he looked like a 35-year-old Russian autocrat. It was hard for me to imagine what he
actually even looked like, but in the end it was an easy decision. He has a lot of the qualities I most love in
an actor and actually has them as a human being. He has doubt, high spirits and optimism, and
he is very funny.”
His rugged exterior aside, producers were keen on the Irish actor joining
the production as their lead. Compliments
Bevan: “Domhnall is a brilliant young actor and has the ability to be extremely
dramatic and very funny, which is a very unusual combination.” The producer didn’t mind that his lead,
heretofore best known for his pivotal role in the Harry Potter series, was an unorthodox choice. Bevan continues, “It’s refreshing to see a
new face playing a lead in a Richard Curtis film—a different face and not a
posh boy—he gives the film a whole different feel.”
The minute About Time begins,
audiences see Tim as a normal fellow.
He’s a slightly confused, but very likeable hero, who is going through
his life with the same level of confidence the majority of ordinary people can
muster. “You love Tim’s character from
the beginning,” reflects Kentish Barnes.
“You want him to succeed when he meets the love of his life.”
When Gleeson first read the script, he laughed aloud, which he took as
quite the promising sign. Reflects the
performer: “It was sweet relief reading the script. It had so much to say about a way of living
your life that I found valuable and beautiful.
That was Richard’s introduction to the film for me, and that was what I
tried to keep close to my heart while we filmed.”
With Gleeson onboard the production, filmmakers moved forward in casting
the role of Mary, the young American woman with whom Tim falls in love, marries
and starts a family. Because of Rachel
McAdams’ busy schedule, the filmmakers weren’t certain she would be able to
join the production. Little did they
know, however, that she adored the script.
Curtis was thrilled that an actress of McAdams’ calibre had signed onto
the film. He muses: “Rachel is someone, who
every time I’ve seen her in a film, I have melted with this sense of comfort
and love. We were certainly lucky to get
her.”
Bevan agrees that McAdams was absolutely perfect for the role,
commending, “Rachel has that great girl-next-door quality. She has the beauty, the humour and the wit, but
she also has the ability as an actress to make whomever she is playing against
look equally as great.”
McAdams recalls what drew her to the part: “I enjoyed the script
immensely and loved what it was about.
It was quite moving with a very simple, but so meaningful moral of the
story, and I loved all the characters. I
knew that signing onto a Richard Curtis film was just a good package deal; he
does these things so well. He is very
generous with his spirit and brings so much of himself to the project.”
The performer appreciated that the expatriate was as complex as her
on-screen love, sharing, “Mary’s got this funny mix of confidence and total
insecurity. But then she meets Tim, and
she just blossoms. He ushers her in the
direction she was meant to go in, and the puzzle pieces fit, finally.”
For the seasoned young performer, working with Gleeson was a surprising
joy. She enthuses: “It’s been wonderful
to watch Domhnall transform from the younger Tim to the older Tim. He has this endless energy for physical
comedy, and his comedic timing is impeccable.
He always seems to find humour. Domhnall
is so grounded, so rooted in the character, and he makes everything matter.”
Her leading man, Gleeson, returns the kind words: “Rachel brings this
gorgeous honesty to her character. She’s very funny, and she brings
something that is pure and uncomplicated in the best possible sense. It
was joyous being on set with her all the time.”
In casting the role of Tim’s Dad, filmmakers turned to a veteran of
Curtis’s films: much-feted performer Bill Nighy, first introduced in a Curtis’s
role as a washed-up rocker in Love
Actually. “Tim’s Dad is a strange synthesis
of a lot of people I’ve met,” explains Curtis.
“There’s a lot of my feeling about my father in the role, and it was a
fun idea to have Bill play the part. To
cast a friend you actually love in that part was a great pleasure.”
About Time marks Nighy’s fourth project with Curtis, as the
men have also partnered on The Boat That
Rocked and The Girl in the Café. “I love working with Richard,” states Nighy,
who offers a bit of perspective on Tim’s Dad.
“My character can travel through time, and the lesson he has learned in
his life is to keep things simple and treasure the normal things. What counts is tenderness, love and respect
between yourself and other human beings.
All those things sustain him.”
While he is the most studied actor in the cast, Nighy gives credit where
credit is due. He states: “Rachel and
Domhnall complement each other in their spirit and their general tone of their
performances. They are very impressive
people and actors.”
Opposite Nighy’s character, LINDSAY DUNCAN took the role of Tim’s Mum,
the matriarch of the family—a woman who curiously styles herself on the
Queen. “Apart from her dress scenes,
she’s great,” muses Duncan. “She is the
anchor of the family and very centred.
The way she goes about life is rather refreshing and admirable. She has made her choices, and she gets on with
it.”
Duncan echoes her cast through her commending of Curtis’s style: “Richard
gets to your heart. You do cry when you
read his scripts; you cry about falling in love, and you cry about people’s
pain as well. This film is all about
everyday things that people deal with: living their lives, loving people,
wanting people and suffering from loss of loved ones.”
Her on-screen son has words for her work. “Bill and Lindsay
were just ideal parents,” recalls Gleeson. “They are so
wonderful and genuine, and as actors it made it a nice environment to be with
them all the time. I had seen them in films and knew they were brilliant,
but I was not prepared for just how easy it would be to be surrounded by
them. Richard was very clever in the way that he assembled the
cast. It made the family feel very real, and I was very happy in their
company and felt really loved up.”
To join the company as Harry, Tim’s easily angered landlord in London, the
filmmakers asked Tom Hollander—so remarkable as the arrogant rector, Mr Collins,
in 2005’s Pride & Prejudice,. “When you first leave home, you always end up
living with people you least want to live with,” notes Curtis. “So I thought it would be fun that, when Tim
leaves home, he should end up with the least pleasant man in the world. The great joy about Tom is that he’s very
good at being very bad and nasty, but underneath the swear box that he’s
playing is a wonderful man.”
Hollander reciprocates Curtis’s words: “Richard is a sweet-natured man
with boundless energy and always has time for people individually. He is a very special chap who has his own
idealism about the world. That is what
informs the good-hearted, loving nature of his romantic comedies. At least, that’s what he told me to say.”
Young actress LYDIA WILSON was brought aboard to play Tim’s beloved sister,
Kit Kat, who has a very intricate role in Tim’s life. She turns out to be the only person, outside
of his father, with whom Tim shares his time-traveling abilities. Wilson, who previously had a part in Mark
Romanek’s Never Let Me Go and had
appeared in the television series South
Riding, brilliantly infuses chaos into Tim’s sometimes-futile attempts at
an orderly existence. His efforts to try
and rescue her from her myriad bad decisions influence the course of his life
with Mary and their children.
Rounding out the cast is Margot Robbie who plays Tim’s first love,
Charlotte, a young woman who enters Tim’s life when he’s discovered he can time
travel. Explains Curtis: “When Charlotte
stays with the Lakes over that summer, Tim utilizes his time-travelling
abilities to redo every situation and make it perfect with Charlotte. But it never eventuates that way, despite his
efforts.”
RICHARD CORDERY was chosen to play Tim’s simple-minded but well-meaning
uncle, while JOSHUA MCGUIRE and WILL
MERRICK play Tim’s best friends. VANESSA
KIRBY was brought on as Mary’s best friend, and TOM HUGHES as Kit Kat’s ne’er-do-well
boyfriend.
Brilliant character actors RICHARD E. GRANT and the late RICHARD
GRIFFITHS also make appearances in the film, playing leads in Harry’s play. This scene proved one of Curtis’s most challenging
and fun days. Says Curtis: “It was tricky
having three Richards on the set, as when anyone said ‘Richard’ we never knew
which Richard it referred to.”
Of the cast, Kentish Barnes sings their praises: “There is not a crack in
our cast. They’re all absolutely
brilliant, and they’re exceptionally great people as well, so we’ve achieved
over 100 percent on that one.”
Making the World a Better Place:
Locations and Design
About Time began its nine-week shoot in June 2012, filming for
three weeks in Cornwall, five weeks on location in London and a week at Ealing
Studios.
Originally, when Curtis penned the script, he had Scotland in mind for
the location of the Lake family home.
However, filmmakers did not have luck securing a suitable house in that
country, so they moved along to Cornwall.
Curtis and the producers began to assemble a stellar below-the-line team
to bring their vision to life.
Production designer John Paul “JP” Kelly had never worked with the
writer/director before and was pleased to find out the similarities between
Curtis and his films. Shares Kelly: “Richard
believes the world should be a better place, and this film is very much about that. It’s close to his mantra: If you look at the
day the right way, you can make it a good day or one as tough as you want. He has got an incredible positivity, and he’s
very inclusive with his family and his work, which is quite unusual.”
Similarly, Kelly had a specific vision when searching for the location, desiring
a house that had to be believable and complement the charm and magic of the
story. Curtis also had
expectations. He explains: “I wanted to
be able to see the sea from the window; this was very important. I had it in my mind that when dad was talking
to his son you were able to see the sea through the window.”
About Time begins in the house in Cornwall where Tim and his
family have always lived. Reflects
Curtis: “Then it keeps returning there, as life does when you’re engaged, when
you have a child, when people get sick.
The home symbolizes growing up, losing people and gaining people.”
The Lake home that the team discovered was a privately owned 1850s house
in Porthpean, with a garden overlooking the sea and its own path down to the
beach. Truly, it could not have been
more perfect to incorporate Kelly and Curtis’s vision. The majority of the scenes including the
family were filmed at this home.
Other locations used by the production in Cornwall were the fishing
village of Portloe—for the exterior wedding scene and the sequence in which the
congregation travels up the country path in the storm; St Michael Penkevil church,
for the wedding scene; and Vault Beach in Gorran Haven, for the simple moments
in which the family has its afternoon tea on the beach.
“Cornwall is the most wonderfully idiosyncratic, welcoming place,”
enthuses the writer/director. “What was
great was that Cornwall turned out to have all the qualities, both socially and
visually, that I wanted from the house, as well as the surrounding areas. It has its own unique character and is a
beautiful part of the country.”
Prior to filming, Curtis took Gleeson and McAdams to the restaurant Dans
Le Noir in London, which is where their characters meet for the very first
time. The restaurant is completely in
the dark and customers are guided and served by blind staff. While an experience for the senses, not all
the patrons were thrilled. “I found it
terrifying,” recalls McAdams. “You don’t
know where the exit is. You don’t know
what people are doing around you, and you have no idea what’s on your
plate. I brought that experience into
the scene for my character. Mary is not
very comfortable and not secure about the whole scenario. When she meets Tim, he is a kind of rock, a beacon
for her. She is grateful to hit it off
with another person and be able to rely on someone in the dark.”
Time’s Dress Code:
Costumes of the Comedy
For About Time, costume designer Verity Hawkes was given the unlikely
task of dressing time travellers.
Recalls Hawkes: “For Tim, we had to show the progression from young and
unconfident to older and more confident.
You see the progression in his choice of clothing, that it’s less thrown
together. We didn’t want to lose any of
his character as he got older. He had to
keep the charm he always had.”
Dressing McAdams as Mary was a collaborative experience for Hawkes and the
performer. Notes Hawkes: “I didn’t want
Mary’s wardrobe to be a series of fashion plates. Mary’s much more of a real character, so we
worked together at finding the balance of showing her kooky side and originality. Rachel cared about what Mary should wear, as
well as when she should wear it and why.
She was totally onboard and supportive.”
Creating the look for Wilson’s whimsical Kit Kat, Verity took the
scripted direction that Tim’s sister should always wear some item that was
purple. “It was quite a joyous process
finding every single purple item that you could,” the designer laughs. “Kit Kat is kind of thrown together, so each
outfit was quite fun to put together.
She’d wear the quirky combinations of things.”
One character Hawkes didn’t imagine she’d be dressing over the course of About Time was the Queen herself. However, that was required when it came time for
Tim’s Mum’s outfits. As she fancies the
Queen as the perfection fashion icon, that’s the way she would be dressed. Ends Hawkes: “Lindsay is very beautiful, but
she doesn’t look anything like the Queen…so we came to quite a good compromise
on her costumes.”

emerging as a breakout television and film star in the U.S.

production on Martin Scorsese’s The Wolf of Wall Street in which she

name, the film tells the story of a New York penny stockbroker (DiCaprio), who
served 20 months in prison for refusing to cooperate in a large securities-fraud
case involving corruption on Wall Street, the corporate banking world and mob
infiltration. Starring as DiCaprio’s
wife, Robbie is joined by an all-star cast including Matthew McConaughey, Jonah

Robbie made her U.S. debut
in 2011’s critically acclaimed ABC series Pan Am. The period drama
depicted the lives of the pilots and flight attendants who once made Pan Am the
most glamorous way to fly. Robbie
starred as Laura, a runaway bride, who fled a life of domestic boredom to take
to the skies. The series was created by Jack Orman (ER, Men of a Certain Age), and
also starred Christina Ricci.
In Australia, Robbie is most
recognized for her role as Donna Freedman on the television soap opera Neighbours, which chronicles the lives of the
residents of Ramsay Street in the fictional Australian suburb of Erinsborough. Her role garnered her two Logie Award
nominations for Most Popular New Female Talent and Most Popular Actress.

acting professionally, at the age of 17. She currently resides in Los Angeles.
ABOUT THE FILMMAKERS
RICHARD CURTIS (Written and
Directed by/Executive Producer) was
born in New Zealand in 1956 and raised in the Philippines, Sweden and the UK. He has now lived in London off and on for more
than 35 years. Curtis began writing
comedy after leaving Oxford University in 1978.
He had worked with Rowan Atkinson there—and continued to do so. His first job on television was writing for
the topical sketch show Not the Nine
O’Clock News for the BBC. He then
went on to write The Black Adder series, a situation comedy
set in four different eras of British history, always starring Rowan Atkinson
in a different amusing haircut. The last
three series were co-written with Ben Elton.
During
these years, Curtis, Atkinson and Elton staged two comedy revues in London’s West End and
Curtis wrote his first film, The Tall Guy. The film was directed by Mel Smith and
starred Jeff Goldblum and Emma Thompson, in her first film. It was produced by Working Title, the
production company with whom Curtis has worked
with since.
Back
on television, Curtis and Atkinson began working on Mr. Bean, and continued for some years to make intermittent programs starring the man in the tie who says very little. Mr.
Bean has become one of the world’s most famous comic creations. In 1993, Curtis wrote Bernard and the Genie, a wholesome Christmas fantasy, which starred
Lenny Henry and Alan Cumming. In
December 1993, Curtis was awarded the Writers’ Guild of Great Britain Award for
Top Comedy Writer.
Curtis’
second film, Four Weddings and a Funeral,
was directed by Mike Newell, produced by Duncan Kenworthy and starred Hugh
Grant and Andie MacDowell. It was
released in March 1994. The film won a
French César, an Australian Film Institute Award and the BAFTA Award for Best
Film. At the Academy Awards®,
the film was nominated for Best Writing, Screenplay Written Directly for the
Screen, and Best Picture.
Curtis’
next film, Notting Hill, which
starred Julia Roberts and Grant, was released in May 1999. At the time of its release, it was the
highest-grossing British film ever.
Curtis
was co-writer of Bean, which starred
Atkinson, and the award-winning screenplay Bridget
Jones’s Diary, which starred Renée Zellweger, Colin Firth and Grant.
In
2003, Curtis wrote and directed Love
Actually, a story about many different kinds of love set during the
Christmas season. The film featured 22
leading characters, including Firth, Grant, Thompson, Bill Nighy, Liam Neeson,
Martin Freeman and Billy Bob Thornton. He
was also co-writer of Bridget Jones: The
Edge of Reason.
In
2005, Curtis wrote the G8 Summit drama The
Girl in the Café for HBO and the BBC, which starred Nighy and Kelly Macdonald. The drama won three Primetime Emmy Awards,
including Made for Television Movie. In
the meantime, he had been writing The
Vicar of Dibley, a sitcom about a female vicar in a small English village. The Black
Adder and The Vicar of Dibley
were voted the 2nd and 3rd most popular British sitcoms
of all time.
In
2008, Curtis co-wrote The No. 1 Ladies’ Detective Agency, with
Anthony Minghella. That same year,
Curtis wrote and directed The Boat That
Rocked, a comedy about a 1966 pirate radio station. In 2011, he co-wrote the screenplay for
Steven Spielberg’s War Horse.
In
2012, Curtis wrote the BBC/HBO television movie Mary and Martha, about two mothers who lose their sons to malaria. The film was directed by Phillip Noyce and
starred Hilary Swank and Brenda Blethyn.
Curtis
is co-founder and vice-chairman of Comic Relief, the organization that runs Red
Nose Day and Sport Relief in Britain. He
began the charity after a trip to Ethiopia during the 1985 famine. Since 1988, Curtis has co-produced the 14 live
nights of Comic Relief for the BBC.
Comic Relief has made more than $1 billion for charity projects in
Africa and the UK.
Curtis
was a founding member of the Make
Poverty History coalition and worked throughout 2004 and 2005 on the
campaign, in addition to Live 8,
which concentrated on trade justice, more and better aid, and debt cancellation
for the world’s poorest countries.
Curtis
was executive producer of Idol Gives Back
for American Idol in April 2007,
which raised more than $75 million for projects helping the poorest children
and young people in the U.S. and Africa. Idol
Gives Back received the 2007 Governors Award at the Primetime Emmys.
Curtis
is married to Emma Freud. Together, they
have a daughter, Scarlett, and three sons, Jake, Charlie and Spike. In 2000, Curtis was made a Commander of the
Order of the British Empire. In 2007, he
was awarded a BAFTA fellowship.
