You do not have permission to edit this page, for the following reasons:

This IP address has been blocked from editing Wikipedia.
This does not affect your ability to read Wikipedia pages.
Most people who see this message have done nothing wrong. Some kinds of blocks restrict editing from specific service providers or telecom companies in response to recent abuse or vandalism, and can sometimes affect other users who are unrelated to that abuse. Review the information below for assistance if you do not believe that you have done anything wrong.

The IP address or range 44.205.0.0/16 has been blocked (disabled) by ‪Blablubbs‬ for the following reason(s):

The IP address that you are currently using has been blocked because it is believed to be a web host provider or colocation provider. To prevent abuse, web hosts and colocation providers may be blocked from editing Wikipedia.
You will not be able to edit Wikipedia using a web host or colocation provider because it hides your IP address, much like a proxy or VPN.
We recommend that you attempt to use another connection to edit. For example, if you use a proxy or VPN to connect to the internet, turn it off when editing Wikipedia. If you edit using a mobile connection, try using a Wi-Fi connection, and vice versa. If you are using a corporate internet connection, switch to a different Wi-Fi network. If you have a Wikipedia account, please log in.
If you do not have any other way to edit Wikipedia, you will need to request an IP block exemption.

How to appeal if you are confident that your connection does not use a colocation provider's IP address:
If you are confident that you are not using a web host, you may appeal this block by adding the following text on your talk page: ((unblock|reason=Caught by a colocation web host block but this host or IP is not a web host. My IP address is _______. Place any further information here. ~~~~)). You must fill in the blank with your IP address for this block to be investigated. Your IP address can be determined here. Alternatively, if you wish to keep your IP address private you can use the unblock ticket request system. There are several reasons you might be editing using the IP address of a web host or colocation provider (such as if you are using VPN software or a business network); please use this method of appeal only if you think your IP address is in fact not a web host or colocation provider.

Administrators: The IP block exemption user right should only be applied to allow users to edit using web host in exceptional circumstances, and requests should usually be directed to the functionaries team via email. If you intend to give the IPBE user right, a CheckUser needs to take a look at the account. This can be requested most easily at SPI Quick Checkuser Requests. Unblocking an IP or IP range with this template is highly discouraged without at least contacting the blocking administrator.

This block will expire on 12:56, 12 May 2024.

Even when blocked, you will usually still be able to edit your user talk page, as well as email administrators and other editors.

For information on how to proceed, please read the FAQ for blocked users and the guideline on block appeals. The guide to appealing blocks may also be helpful.

'''Anthony Hickox''' (30 January 1959 – October 2023) was an English film director, producer, actor, and screenwriter.<ref>((Cite web|url=https://halloweenlove.com/interview-with-anthony-hickox-director-of-waxwork/|title=Interview with Anthony Hickox: Director of Waxwork|website=Halloween Love|access-date=27 January 2018))</ref>

Hickox was best known for his work in the [[Horror film|horror genre]], with films like ''[[Waxwork (film)|Waxwork]]'' and its [[sequel]], ''[[Waxwork II: Lost in Time]]'', ''[[Sundown: The Vampire in Retreat]]'', ''[[Hellraiser III: Hell on Earth]]'', and ''[[Warlock: The Armageddon]]''. He directed a [[Prince Valiant (1997 film)|1997 film adaptation]] of the long-running ''[[Prince Valiant]]'' comic strip starring [[Stephen Moyer]] as the eponymous character. His visual style often uses a dual-focus technique in which one person's face takes up most of the screen in profile, with another person shown on the other half of the screen in the background. Hickox was known as a maverick filmmaker often at odds with his producers.

==Early life and education==
Hickox was born on 30 January 1959 in [[Hampstead]], London to a family of filmmakers.<ref>[https://rozrywka.radiozet.pl/filmy/nie-zyje-anthony-hickox-rezyser-kultowych-filmow-grozy-zmarl-w-wieku-64-lat Nie żyje Anthony Hickox. Reżyser kultowych filmów grozy zmarł w wieku 64 lat]</ref> He was the eldest son of the director [[Douglas Hickox]] and [[Academy Award]]-winning editor [[Anne V. Coates]] and elder brother of editor [[Emma E. Hickox]] and James D.R. Hickox. He was also a great-nephew of [[J. Arthur Rank|J Arthur Rank, 1st Baron Rank]], head of [[The Rank Organisation]].<ref>((Cite book|url=https://books.google.com/books?id=1SQkCQAAQBAJ&q=anthony+hickox+j+arthur+rank&pg=PA101|title=The Hellraiser Films and Their Legacy|last=Kane|first=Paul|date=23 May 2012|publisher=McFarland|isbn=9781476600697))</ref> 

Hickox was educated at [[Aiglon College]] in Switzerland.<ref>((cite book |last1=Miller |first1=Compton |title=Who's Really Who |date=1984 |publisher=Sphere |location=London |isbn=0722125399 |page=110))</ref> 

==Career==
After starting as a club promoter in London, Hickox went to [[Los Angeles]] in 1986 and became a writer and director during the late 1980s. He then started directing action movies after a list of 1990s horror films including the [[Hellraiser III: Hell on Earth|third entry]] in the [[Hellraiser (franchise)|''Hellraiser'' series]]. This led to [[HBO]] hiring him to make its first action/horror, ''Full Eclipse'', which spawned the Friday night action slot that lasted over 5 years and to which Hickox made several more contributions. At the same time, he continued his deal at [[Universal Pictures|Universal]] where he shot pilots for Extreme, ''[[Two (TV series)|Two]]'', ''[[Martial Law (TV series)|Martial Law]]'' and ''[[New York Undercover]]''.

After working with [[Natascha McElhone]] and [[William Hurt]] on ''[[Contaminated Man]]'', he went on to direct [[Katherine Heigl]] and [[Stephen Moyer]] in a [[Prince Valiant|feature-length adaptation]] of the ''[[Prince Valiant]]'' comic strip. The film was described by one of its actors, [[Warwick Davis]], as "a disaster from start to finish" which was "premiered, panned and bombed". He blamed this on Hickox, who he said "seemed intent on partying all night long and giving roles to his friends."<ref>((Cite book |last=Davis |first=Warwick |url=https://www.worldcat.org/oclc/751744623 |title=Size Matters Not: The Extraordinary Life and Career of Warwick Davis |publisher=[[Aurum Press]] |year=2011 |isbn=978-1-84513-620-8 |location=London |page=211 |oclc=751744623))</ref>

Hickox then directed [[Steven Seagal]] in [[Submerged (2005 film)|''Submerged'']] and [[Eddie Griffin]] in [[Blast (2004 film)|''Blast'']], which made over $15 million each via a [[direct-to-video]] release. In 2008, he completed the British horror movie [[Knife Edge (film)|''Knife Edge'']]. In 2019, he completed ''Underdogs Rising'' with [[Chris Pang]] and ''Infamous 6'' which shot in Hong Kong, for PopLife Global owned by Ex Chatman of Disney China.<ref name=":0">((Cite web |last=Gillam |first=JD |date=11 October 2021 |title=Anthony Hickox ((!))

Hickox was on the board of directors of the now-dissolved film distribution company [[Seven Arts Pictures]] run by Peter Hoffman, the ex-chairman of [[Carolco Pictures|Carolco]] and the production company [[Medient Studios]] run by Indian film producer Manu Kumaran.

Amongst one of his latter works was a [[Federico Fellini]] biopic, and ''Zombie Bride'', shot in Spain.<ref name=":0" />
