Goldcrest Films is an independent British distribution, production, post production and finance company.
Operating from London and New York, Goldcrest is a privately owned integrated filmed entertainment company.
Goldcrest Films was founded by Jake Eberts in January 1977.
It enjoyed great success in the 1980s with films such as Chariots of Fire (1981), Gandhi (1982), Local Hero (1983), The Killing Fields (1984), Hope and Glory (1987), All Dogs Go To Heaven (1989), and A Room With a View (1985). The company also benefited from the new investment of Channel 4 in film production. The company won two Academy Awards for Best Picture, for Chariots of Fire in 1981 and Gandhi in 1982. After these initial successes the company backed more expensive productions with established Hollywood stars that often ran over schedule and budget culminating in Revolution (1985), The Mission (1986) and Absolute Beginners (1986) that all turned out to be box office flops.
Goldcrest Films oversees the production, distribution and marketing of films produced by Goldcrest and third-party acquisition in addition to monetising Goldcrest’s celebrated library of over 100 titles. Goldcrest Films current slate includes Slumber, Come and Find Me, Stonewall directed by Roland Emmerich, BBC's EARTH: One Amazing Day directed by Peter Webber and Joe Dante's Labirintus.
