His most recent project was Anderson’s untitled Warner Bros. film, starring Leonardo Di Caprio.
The filmmaker continued, “He made everyone who joined the crew feel like they were part of the family. He was a uniter and when things weren’t going according to plan, his English working-class wit and humor, could smooth out the problem through his under-the-breath cursing, laughter, and the backup plan he always seemed to have standing by.
Scorsese shared in a statement, “Adam Somner was credited as an Assistant Director and a Producer on three of my pictures, but his presence meant more to me and to the films than any credits could really even indicate.
Somner is survived by his wife Carmen Ruiz de Huidobro; his children, Olivia and Bosco; and his brother Mark Somner.Anderson remembered Somner, writing, “Adam loved making films more than anyone else ever in the history of the movie business. It was food and drink to him. He made everyone who worked with him feel safe. He saw everything from all sides at once and had a back up plan to the back up plan to the back up plan.
