Production Companies

I am researching the production companies that produced various thrillers similar to the one that we are making.

Blue Velvet (1986)

Blue Velvet is a mystery thriller written and directed by David Lynch. It was produced by De Laurentiis Entertainment Group. Blue Velvet was the sixth film that they had produced. Their list of films is fairly varied in genre, having produced other thrillers such as Michael Mann's Manhunter as well as dramas such as Weeds, horrors such as Trick or Treat and comedies such as Bill and Ted's Excellent Adventure. De Laurentiis Entertainment Group were bought by Village Roadshow in 1988.

Collateral (2004)
Collateral is a crime thriller directed and co-written by Michael Mann. IMDB cites 4 production companies as having been involved with the production of Collateral. These are Paramount Pictures, Dreamworks SKG, Parkes/MacDonald Productions and Edge City. While Paramount Pictures and Dreamworks SKG are extremely well known for a wide variety of films, Parkes/MacDonald Pictures and Edge City have been a lot less prolific. Parkes/Macdonald Pictures are credited with only 13 films on IMDB, most of which are thrillers such as Catch Me If You Can and The Island. They also produced the 2007 horror film Sweeney Todd: The Demon Barber of Fleet Street and the 2010 remake of the French comedy Le Dîner de Cons - Dinner for Schmucks.

The Insider (1999)
The Insider is a biographical thriller directed by Michael Mann. Six production companies produced The Insider: Blue Lion Entertainment, Forward Pass, Kaitz Productions, Mann/Roth Productions, Spyglass Entertainment and Touchstone Pictures. Spyglass Entertainment and Touchstone Pictures are the most established of these companies, having produced many films of a wide variety of genres. Mann/Roth Productions only film credit to date is The Insider and Kaitz Productions have produced only The Insider and Olin: Documented Fairy Tale in 1998. Blue Lion Entertainment have produced only 10 films, most of which are thrillers and dramas. Forward Pass have worked with Michael Mann on 5 of his films and also produce mainly thrillers.

Shifty (2008)
Shifty is a British urban thriller written and directed by Evan Creevy. It was produced by three different production companies: BBC Films, Between the Eyes and Film London. BBC Films have produced over 200 films, including most of the more successful recent British films. Between the Eyes are a small London-based production company that have produced mainly shorts and dramas. Film London is described by Wikipedia as "the capital's film and media agency - sustaining, promoting and developing London as a major international film-making and film cultural capital." They have been responsible for the production of various shorts and dramas.

Film4 Productions

Film4 Productions is a British production company owned by Channel 4 that has been involved in the production of many films made in the UK, many of which have been critically acclaimed. They produce mostly dramas but also a few thrillers.
