Obituary: Edward R. Pressman, the bookish producer who took risks on unproven directors and trusted their instincts, has died. He was 79.
In a film, he might have been cast as a balding philosophy professor whose students strained to hear the quiet elegance of his carefully chosen words. In real life, Edward R. Pressman was an independent movie producer with a devotion to art films and an ability to find financing and distribution for productions others would see as too risky.
The more than 90 movies he produced during a five-decade career included “Wall Street,” “Badlands” and “American Psycho.” Among the directors he nurtured were Oliver Stone, Brian De Palma and Terrence Malick.
