LONDON (AP) — The son of Nicolas Roeg says the prominent British film director has died. He was 90.

Nicolas Roeg Jr. told Britain's Press Association that the director of "The Man Who Fell to Earth" and "Don't Look Now" died Friday night.

"He was a genuine dad," said Roeg Jr. "He just had his 90th birthday in August."

He didn't provide details about his father's death.

Roeg's career spanned six decades and he was known for making provocative films and working with major rock stars Mick Jagger and David Bowie.

He worked his way into directing after winning acclaim as a cinematographer.
