John Roger Spottiswoode[2] (born 5 January 1945) is a Canadian-British director, editor and writer of film and television.
Early life
He was born in Ottawa, Ontario, Canada, and was raised in Britain.[3] His father Raymond Spottiswoode was a British film theoretician[4] who worked at the National Film Board of Canada during the 1940s, directing short films such as Wings of a Continent.
Career
In the 1960s, Spottiswoode entered the British film industry as a trainee editor where he apprenticed under editor John Bloom. In the early 1970s Spottiswoode edited several films for Sam Peckinpah.[5]
He wanted to direct and Walter Hill advised him the best way in was to write a script. Hill and Spottiswoode collaborated on the scripts for 48 Hours and the never-made The Last Gun. [6]
Spottiswoode turned to directing in the early 1980s and has since directed a number of notable films and television productions, including Under Fire (1983)[7] and the 1997 James Bond film Tomorrow Never Dies starring Pierce Brosnan.[8] Spottiswoode was a member of the writing team responsible for 48 Hrs. starring Eddie Murphy and Nick Nolte.[9] In 2000, he directed the science fiction action thriller The 6th Day starring Arnold Schwarzenegger.[10]
