About Mike Newell

Mike Newell has proven to be one of our most versatile moviemakers—effortlessly transitioning from romantic comedies (Four Weddings and a Funeral) to gritty crime dramas (Donnie Brasco) to wildly popular fantasy franchises (Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire) to three-hankie weepies (Love in the Time of Cholera) and everything in between. His latest film, the big-budget adventure epic Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time, based on the popular video game series, hits theaters May 28, 2010.
