He followed up with "Lara Croft: Tomb Raider" (2001), which starred Angelina Jolie and became a defining film in the action-adventure genre. West's filmography showcases his versatility, including hits like "The Mechanic" (2011) and "Expendables 2" (2012), as well as "When a Stranger Calls" (2006), which highlighted his knack for suspense.
This October, West returns with his new film, "Old Guy," set to premiere at the Newport Beach Film Festival on October 17th. I had the privilege of working with Simon creating Clean Up Shots, VFX and Motion Graphics for this film, where his visionary direction was inspiring to witness firsthand. "Old Guy" explores themes of aging and redemption, offering a blend of humor and heart, showcasing West's growth as a storyteller.
As he continues to evolve, Simon West remains a significant figure in cinema, and "Old Guy" promises to further demonstrate his talent and unique vision.
