Academy Award winner Roger Christian has had an extensive film career. He won an Academy Award for set decoration on director George Lucas‘s Star Wars: Episode IV – A New Hope (1977), which began a long collaboration between the filmmakers. Christian subsequently worked with Lucas on Star Wars: Episode VI – Return of the Jedi (1983) and was hand-picked by Lucas to direct the second unit on the recent Star Wars: Episode I – The Phantom Menace (1999). It was through Lucas that Christian got his first opportunity to direct a film, the short feature entitled Ángel negro (2000), which accompanied the UK release of Star Wars: Episode V – The Empire Strikes Back (1980). Christian followed “Black Angel” with another short, The Dollar Bottom (1981), which won the 1981 Academy Award for Best Live Action Short Film. He followed that success with the thriller The Sender (1998), which received much critical acclaim and a nomination for Best Film by the Academy of Science Fiction, Fantasy and Horror Films.
His directing credits include the 1994 Orion Pictures release _Nostradamus (1994/I)_, starring Julia Ormond and F. Murray Abraham, the HBO premiere movie The Final Cut(1995), Underworld (1996) starring Annabella Sciorra and Masterminds (1997) starring Patrick Stewart. Christian has also directed numerous high profile commercials, including worldwide campaigns for SEGA, Taco Bell, Jeep, Lancia, Fiat and Chrysler/Dodge, among others. Christian’s work as an art director and production designer was highly regarded. He was nominated for an Academy Award for his art direction on Ridley Scott‘s Alien(1979). His other art direction credits include Monty Python’s Life of Brian (1979), Ken Russell‘s Mahler (1974) and Peter Hall‘s Akenfield (1974). Roger also directed Battlefield Earth (2000), with John Travolta and Forest Whitaker.
