Film producer Jeremy Thomas died last Friday peacefully at his home in Oxfordshire surrounded by his family and loved ones. He was 77.

Thomas was a prolific producer and was perhaps best known for producing The Last Emperor film in 1987, for which he won an Oscar for Best Picture. He served as producer for Takashi Miike's live-action film of Hiroaki Samura's Blade of the Immortal manga. He also collaborated with Miike for Bad Lieutenant: Tokyo, which premieres on Monday at the Toronto International Film Festival.

Thomas also produced A Dangerous Method; Crash; Mad Dog Morgan; Merry Christmas, Mr. Lawrence; Sexy Beast; and The Shout.
