Bernard Rose (born 1960 in London) is an English filmmaker, considered a pioneer of digital filmmaking.[1] He is best known for directing the horror films Paperhouse (1988) and Candyman (1992),[2] the historical romances Immortal Beloved (1994)[3][4] and Anna Karenina (1997), and the independent drama Ivans xtc (2000), for which he was nominated for the Independent Spirit Award for Best Director and the John Cassavetes Award. He has also been nominated for the Grand Prix des Amériques and the Venice Horizons Prize.[5] He has frequently cast actors Danny Huston and Tony Todd in his films.[6] In the 1980s, he directed music videos for UB40, Frankie Goes to Hollywood and Bronski Beat.
Beyond that though, a commonality of Rose's that indeed carries over to his horror movies, is the recurrent casting of longtime genre vets Tony Todd and Danny Huston.
