Neil Corbould (born 1962) is an OSCAR and multiple BAFTA winning British special effects supervisor best known for his work on major blockbuster films such as "Gladiator", "Saving Private Ryan" or "Black Hawk Down".

Neil Corbould’s first job in Special Effects was in 1978 on "Superman: The Movie". This was followed by work on "Saturn 3", "The Elephant Man", "American Werewolf in London", "Victor Victoria", "Pink Floyd the Wall" and "Amadeus". In 1985, he started work on his first of three Bond films, as a technician on "A View to a Kill" and "The Living Daylights". He was then given the opportunity of Supervising the floor effects on "Licence to Kill". From 1990 to 1996 he worked on many films that included "Highlander 2", "City of Joy", "Cliffhanger", "Leon" and "Muppet Treasure Island".

In 1995 he started on "The Fifth Element" which was his first film in the role of special effects supervisor for which he received a BAFTA. He went on to supervise the science fiction thriller "Event Horizon" which was followed by Steven Spielberg’s "Saving Private Ryan", for which he received a second BAFTA. This was followed by "Entrapment" and the Ridley Scott epic "Gladiator" for which he won an OSCAR.
He also received double BAFTA nominations for "Gladiator" and for "Vertical Limit" in the same year. This was followed by work on "The Mummy Returns" and then a second collaboration with Ridley Scott on "Black Hawk Down", which was filmed in Morocco.

In 2002, came Roland Emmerich’s "The Day After Tomorrow" in Montreal, which earned him his third BAFTA. "King Arthur" and "Kingdom of Heaven" followed and in 2005 he travelled to Australia to start work on "Superman Returns". For the work on "Superman Returns" the Special Effects team received both OSCAR and BAFTA Nominations for their work.

He also collaborated with Ed Zwick on "Blood Diamond" and "Defiance".

In May 2007, he also made his directorial debut filming the pop promo “The Price Ya Gotta Pay” for upcoming band Saints of Eden.

He recently supervised the special effects on "RED 2" directed by Dean Parisot starting Bruce Willis, Helen Mirren, John Malkovich, Mary-Louise Parker, Catherine Zeta Jones and Anthony Hopkins.

Neil has just produced his first movie “The Coward” Directed by David Roddham. Coward is a moving and insightful drama that takes us from the idyllic pastures of Ireland to the brutal and senseless trenches of the First World War.

Neil has been recently nominated for an Academy Award for the third time for the special visual effects for "Snow White and the Huntsman".

Neil is currently looking to direct "Billingsgate", set in 1727, which tells a story of a young woman’s brutal journey to womanhood and her fight for survival in the bare-knuckle fighting world of 18th Century London.

Three years after the previous film, while trying to lead a normal life with girlfriend Sarah Ross (Mary-Louise Parker), Frank Moses (Bruce Willis) is approached by Marvin Boggs (John Malkovich), who claims people are still after them, but Frank dismisses him. After appealing a second time, Marvin drives off, and his car explodes. Although Frank does not believe Marvin is dead, Sarah convinces him to go to Marvin's funeral where he delivers a teary-eyed eulogy. After the funeral, a group of government agents approach Frank and take him to be interrogated at a Yankee White Facility. During the interrogation, Jack Horton (Neal McDonough) appears with an armed SWAT team, kills most of the facility's personnel, and tells Frank that he will torture Sarah until he gets information out of Frank. Frank escapes from the room, evades Horton's assassins, and with the sudden timely help of Marvin, who turns out to be alive, goes on the run with Sarah. Marvin explains that he and Frank are being hunted because they were listed as participants in a Clandestine operation codenamed Nightshade, conducted during the Cold War to smuggle a nuclear weapon into Russia piece by piece. Horton has convinced world agencies that Frank and his crew are terrorists and must be stopped. Victoria (Helen Mirren) calls, telling Frank she has been contracted by MI6 to kill the three of them. Meanwhile, top contract killer Han Cho-Bai (Lee Byung-hun), whom Horton knows is seeking revenge on Frank, is also hired.

The film begins with a woman giving birth to a baby. Within a few minutes of his birth, the baby starts saying: "Ho, ho, ho!". Mother Claus calls her son, Frederick, over to meet his new brother, whom she has decided to name Nicholas. Mother Claus lovingly refers to the new baby as her little Saint Nick. During Christmas, when Nick opens his gifts including Fred's, he decides to give them away to orphans which makes Fred angry. Mother Claus advises Fred to be a better person by stating he should be more like his brother; this in turn causes Fred to resent Nick. Feeling isolated, Fred often climbs a tree to confide his problems in a bird. On one occasion, Nick cuts down the tree, saying that now Fred can bring it inside since he liked it so much. However, the birdhouse Fred's confidant lived in is smashed, causing the bird to leave; this causes a temporary rift between Fred and Nick.
