Curiosidades

Has directed one Oscar nominated performance: Michael Caine in O Americano Tranqüilo (2002).

Step-daughter, Alice, is a props maker and production designer in Los Angeles.

In early 1985, Phillip Noyce directed a film clip for the Australian rock band, The Angels, with what was then believed to be the most expensive budget for an Australian film clip. Shooting occurred in drains under Sydney, at a disused train tunnel north of Sydney and in the Outback, including various real biker gang members appearing as part of an involved back story. However, the song, 'Underground', did not end up charting well in Australia or its intended market in the US, so the film clip is rarely seen.

Daughter, Lucia, works for Amnesty International.
