MARTIN ROSEN
Martin Rosen (born 1936) is an American-born British filmmaker and theater producer. Rosen is known for having directed the animated film adaptations of Watership Down (1978) from the Richard Adams novels.
Rosen originally worked as a theater agent and talent scout, before he moved with his wife to the United Kingdom.
He first produced the Canadian feature A Great Big Thing (1968) and later co-produced Ken Russell's film version of Women in Love (1969), which won Academy Awards for Glenda Jackson and Billy Williams (cinematography).
Rosen was originally the producer of Watership Down but took over as director after John Hubley died. He also wrote the screenplay for it. This was the first of two novels by Richard Adams he adapted.
