Born in Morocco, Hadida and his brother Victor have been credited with bringing popular American movies such as Quentin Tarantino’s Reservoir Dogs, David Fincher’s Seven and martial-arts pics starring Jean-Claude Van Damme to French theaters in the 1990s. Hadida was also well-known for his collaboration with Tony Scott (died August 19, 2012) on True Romance and Domino, with Constantin Film on the Resident Evil franchise, and with Christophe Gans on Silent Hill.

Hadida, his brother & father are cofounders/coowners of Metropolitan FilmExport (American indie distributor).

Please note Samuel Hadida was the lead producer of the reboot of The Crow, allegedly starrring Jason Momoa (Game of Thrones, Aquaman) - although rumors are Momoa has withdrawn from the project.
