Adrian Lyne is a British director and producer. He is best known for directing films that focus on sexually charged characters and often uses natural light, a fog machine and other effects to create eroticized atmospheres. He began working in film after a number of television commercials. He received a nomination for an Academy Award for Best Director in 1988 for Fatal Attraction. Lyne has been relatively inactive since the turn of the century, only working on one significant project — Unfaithful, which he also produced.
