R.I.P. Mike Hodges (1932 – 2022)

December 21, 2022 by Gary Collinson

Celebrated British filmmaker Mike Hodges has passed away aged 90, his friend and fellow producer Mike Kaplan has announced.

Born in Bristol, England in 1932, Hodges began his career in the British television industry in the 1960s, working as a writer, director and producer before making his feature debut with 1971’s Get Carter.

An adaptation of the Ted Lewis novel Jack’s Return Home, the Michael Caine-headlined crime thriller was a minor success upon release but went on to garner a cult following and has since became widely regarded as one of the greatest British films of all time.

Hodges reunited with Caine for his next film, 1972’s Pulp, before going on to direct the 1974 adaptation of Michael Crichton’s The Terminal Man and 1980’s cult space opera Flash Gordon. In later years, he would mix film, television and theater work, with his features including A Prayer for the Dying (1987), Black Rainbow (1989), Croupier (1998) and I’ll Sleep When I’m Dead (2003).
