Huge congratulations to our talented filmmakers on their @bifa_film Awards nominations! We’re thrilled to share that Protagonist Pictures’ projects have earned a remarkable 20 nominations this year. It’s an honor to see these stories recognized, and we’re incredibly proud of the teams behind them. Here’s to celebrating this achievement together!

We are thrilled to announce MONITOR, a terrifying

We are thrilled to announce MONITOR, a terrifying new horror film from Temple Hill, the producers of the latest worldwide No.1 box office hit, Smile 2.

When a group of social media moderators refuse to publish a horrifying video, a demonic creature starts following them across every screen in their lives. Feeding off fear, the creature hunts them down one by one and attacks them until it gets what it wants… to be let out beyond the screen.

Written and directed by Matt Black and Ryan Polly, MONITOR is set to shoot in 2025, with Nostromo Pictures on board as co-producers.

🎬 We’re thrilled to announce The Players, starring Academy Award nominee John C. Reilly and BAFTA nominee Steve Coogan as two rival actors battling for the spotlight on stage. Based on a true story and written by Jeff Pope (Stan and Ollie, Philomena) with direction by Peter Cattaneo (The Full Monty, The Penguin Lessons).

In 1847 New York, Edwin Forrest (Reilly) holds the undisputed title as thecountry’s top Shakespearian actor. Playing magnificently to a sold out, raucous crowd every night, Edwin is ‘The Star’. But when critically celebrated English thespian William MacCready (Coogan) arrives from London to perform his sophisticated Hamlet, Edwin’s title is thrown into jeopardy. Each man wants what the other has, and the rivalry between them starts a hilarious and unforgettable battle of egos.

Stay tuned for more updates! #ThePlayers #JohnCReilly #SteveCoogan #ProtagonistPictures
