Producer Bellville Dies
Roman Polanski's movie producer pal Hercules Bellville has died after losing his battle with cancer at the age of 69.
The star, who suffered a relapse in his fight against the disease at the start of this year, passed away in London on Saturday.
Bellville served closely as producer to directors like Polanski, Bernardo Bertolucci and Michelangelo Antonioni, and was considered to be producer Jeremy Thomas' right hand man for many years.
He scored his big break in 1964 at the age of 24, when he met Polanski on the eve of making the film Repulsion.
Although initially hired as a runner for Polanski, with whom he worked for over a decade, Bellville would eventually go on to become a well-known figure on the European and American film circuits, working on movies like 1975's The Passenger and 1981's The Postman Always Rings Twice.
His more recent projects include 2000's Sexy Beast and 2003's The Dreamers.
Bellville is survived by his wife Ilana Shulman, whom he married just 48 hours before his death.
