British Film Chief: And in Britain, producer Jeremy Thomas, whose films include “The Last Emperor,” “Naked Lunch” and “The Sheltering Sky,” is going to be the new chairman of the British Film Institute. He will replace Sir Richard Attenborough, who was to retire at the end of September but has agreed to stay on until Jan. 1 so Thomas can complete location shooting on his current production, Bernardo Bertolucci’s “Little Buddha.” Thomas will act as a figurehead for the British film industry.
