Movie Man Accepts Police Caution

An award-winning movie industry boss, who has worked on multiple Hollywood films, has received a police caution for assaulting two men at a landmark St. James’s building, a court heard yesterday.

Robin Pizzey, 47, is the director of Soho-based Goldcrest Post Production Facilities and won an award for his work on Margaret Thatcher bio ‘The Iron Lady’ - starring Meryl Streep.

At Westminster Magistrates Court the Crown Prosecution Service announced both charges had been dropped after Pizzey accepted a caution from police, who usually require some degree of admission from the accused. 

Pizzey, of Bridgewater Road, Berkhamsted, Hertfordshire, was charged with assaulting Samir Tharani and Reece Tharani-Gayton at Carlton House Terrace on December 14.

The building - a Grade I listed Georgian townhouse - is the HQ of the British Academy for Humanities and Social Sciences. 

Pizzey has 92 credits for visual effects in films and television shows, including ’Stan & Ollie’; Murder on the Orient Express’; ‘Kingsman: The Golden Circle’; ‘Jason Bourne’; both Inbetweeners movies; ‘Quantum of Solace and Eddie the Eagle.

He has 52 credits for Editorial Department, including ‘Captain Philips’ and ‘Alpha Papa’.

In 2012 the Hollywood Post Alliance gave him the award for outstanding colour grading for ‘The Iron Lady’.
