Zanuck was the son of equally famous Hollywood producer Darryl F Zanuck, who famously fired him from his position at 20th Century Fox after the box office bomb that was <em>Doctor Doolittle<\/em> (1967). Richard Zanuck formed The Zanuck\/Brown company in 1972, producing <em>Jaws<\/em> and <em>Sugarland Express<\/em> for Universal Studios, with Steven Spielberg as director. When Zanuck\/Brown dissolved in 1988, they had also produced box office successes like <em>Cocoon<\/em> and <em>Driving Miss Daisy<\/em>; Zanuck would go on to become the producer <em>de jour<\/em> for Tim Burton, paving the way for films such as <em>Planet of The Apes<\/em> (2001), <em>Big Fish, Charlie &amp; The Chocolate Factory<\/em> and the most recent <em>Dark Shadows<\/em>, among others. Zanuck also produced critical hits such as <em>Rules Of Engagement<\/em> and <em>Road To Perdition<\/em>, as well as critical failures like <em>Yes Man<\/em> and <em>Reign Of Fire<\/em>.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">In 1990, both Zanuck and former producing partner David brown were awarded the Irving G Thalberg Memorial Award (Oscar). Mr Zanuck passed away on July 13th, aged 77. In a coincidence, Zanuck&#8217;s father was also 77 when he died. For his contribution to popular cinema, we salute Richard D Zanuck here today.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Legendary Hollywood producer and studio mogul Richard D Zanuck has passed away.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":48482,"featured_media":21734,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[213],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-21733","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-obituary"],"featured_image_urls":{"full":["https:\/\/www.fernbyfilms.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/07\/richard-d-zanuck.jpeg",388,594,false],"thumbnail":["https:\/\/www.fernbyfilms.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/07\/richard-d-zanuck-388x280.jpeg",388,280,true],"medium":["https:\/\/www.fernbyfilms.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/07\/richard-d-zanuck-388x365.jpeg",388,365,true],"medium_large":["https:\/\/www.fernbyfilms.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/07\/richard-d-zanuck.jpeg",388,594,false],"large":["https:\/\/www.fernbyfilms.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/07\/richard-d-zanuck.jpeg",388,594,false],"1536x1536":["https:\/\/www.fernbyfilms.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/07\/richard-d-zanuck.jpeg",388,594,false],"2048x2048":["https:\/\/www.fernbyfilms.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/07\/richard-d-zanuck.jpeg",388,594,false],"covernews-featured":["https:\/\/www.fernbyfilms.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/07\/richard-d-zanuck.jpeg",388,594,false],"covernews-medium":["https:\/\/www.fernbyfilms.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/07\/richard-d-zanuck.jpeg",222,340,false],"profile_24":["https:\/\/www.fernbyfilms.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/07\/richard-d-zanuck-24x24.jpeg",24,24,true],"profile_48":["https:\/\/www.fernbyfilms.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/07\/richard-d-zanuck-48x48.jpeg",48,48,true],"profile_96":["https:\/\/www.fernbyfilms.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/07\/richard-d-zanuck-96x96.jpeg",96,96,true],"profile_150":["https:\/\/www.fernbyfilms.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/07\/richard-d-zanuck-150x150.jpeg",150,150,true],"profile_300":["https:\/\/www.fernbyfilms.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/07\/richard-d-zanuck-300x300.jpeg",300,300,true],"sow-carousel-default":["https:\/\/www.fernbyfilms.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/07\/richard-d-zanuck-272x182.jpeg",272,182,true]},"author_info":{"display_name":"Rodney Twelftree","author_link":"https:\/\/www.fernbyfilms.com\/author\/rodney\/"},"category_info":"<a href=\"https:\/\/www.fernbyfilms.com\/category\/film-general\/obituary\/\" rel=\"category tag\">Obituary<\/a>","tag_info":"Obituary","comment_count":"1","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.fernbyfilms.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/21733","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.fernbyfilms.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.fernbyfilms.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.fernbyfilms.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/48482"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.fernbyfilms.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=21733"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.fernbyfilms.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/21733\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.fernbyfilms.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/21734"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.fernbyfilms.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=21733"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.fernbyfilms.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=21733"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.fernbyfilms.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=21733"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
