Chris Corbould OBE is an Academy Award–winning special-effects supervisor and second-unit director—and one of the James Bond franchise’s longest-serving collaborators, with credits on fifteen Bond films, from The Spy Who Loved Me to No Time To Die. London-born, he entered special effects in 1974 on Tommy, mastering hydraulics, engineering, fabrication, and pyrotechnics before moving into senior on-set roles on Superman (I, II, and III), Supergirl, and early Bond titles such as Moonraker, For Your Eyes Only, and A View To A Kill. His first supervising break came on Nightbreed, leading to global work on Shadowlands, GoldenEye, Tomorrow Never Dies, The Mummy, and The World Is Not Enough. Subsequent supervising credits include 102 Dalmatians, Lara Croft: Tomb Raider (I and II), Die Another Day, Batman Begins, Casino Royale, Quantum Of Solace, The Dark Knight, Inception, The Dark Knight Rises, Star Wars: The Force Awakens, and Star Wars: The Last Jedi. He and his team earned a Guinness World Records certificate for Spectre’s “largest film stunt explosion.”
Corbould has also directed second-unit action on Skyfall, Christopher Robin, The Nutcracker and the Four Realms, and The Rhythm Section. His honors include eleven BAFTA nominations (wins for Inception and The Force Awakens) and six Academy Award nominations, winning the Oscar for Inception. In the 2014 New Year’s Honours, he was appointed Officer of the Order of the British Empire (OBE) by Her Majesty The Queen for services to film.
Beyond film sets, Corbould is a director of Auto Action Developments, specializing in bespoke vehicle construction; the company recently collaborated on Michael Mann’s Ferrari, building period race cars for the film’s signature sequences. He is developing his writing and directing debut, having optioned the nonfiction book The Cloud Garden, about two British backpackers kidnapped by Colombian rebels; Corbould is also attached to direct several other original projects.
