Tamahori's family announced the director's death in a statement to the New Zealand public service broadcaster, RNZ.
"He ultimately returned home to tell stories grounded in whakapapa and identity, with Mahana and his latest film The Convert, reaffirming his deep connection to Aotearoa. We've lost an immense creative spirit."
Tamahori made his mark in Hollywood with his 1994 debut film, Once Were Warriors, and was considered one of the greatest New Zealand films ever made. It soon led the director to work with Anthony Hopkins and Alec Baldwin on the survival drama The Edge.
One of his most well-known works was directing the 2002 action spy movie Die Another Day. It was the fourth installment in the James Bond franchise, and the last movie to star Pierce Brosnan as the coveted MI6 agent. Halle Berry also co-starred as the movie's Bond girl, NSA agent Jinx.
Tamahori was born in Wellington in 1950 and got his start as a photographer and commercial artist. He moved into the film industry in the late 1970s, becoming a boom operator and was promoted to an assistant director in the early 80s. He also co-founded the production company Flying Fish.
