In new releases this week, we’re highlighting the wild new science fiction black comedy produced, written, and directed by Parasite Oscar winner Bong Joon-ho.
Mickey 17 stars Robert Pattinson as a menial worker of the future condemned to eternal life, or eternal death, by being repeatedly killed in the service of a space exploration corporation doing fatally dangerous jobs and then reincarnated.
Production took place at Warner Bros. Studios Leavesden, with PGGB Members Marianne Jenkins, Dominique Tucker, Nichola Coats, Michael Mann, Emma McDonnell, Sarah Hunt involved, alongside Partners and Affiliates Warner Bros. De Lane Lea, Above The Line Set Assistance & Security Ltd, SK Media Rooms Ltd, 6ft From The Spotlight, Sara Putt Associates, Salon Rentals, Location Collective & OMA Studio Group, Audiolink, BTP Professional Bird & Pest Control, Sargent-Disc and CineArk.
Also new in film this week is Picture This, out now on Prime Video. Prarthana Mohan's heartwarming rom-com tells the story of an enterprising photographer who hatches a plan to use speed-dating to save her business, and stars Bridgerton’s Simone Ashley.
PGGB Members John Palfery-Smith, Raci Wilkinson, Roger Evans, Avneet Kaur and Sharon Soor worked on the production, with Partners and Affiliates Media Insurance Brokers Ltd, Trevanna London Ltd and Team Engine.
Finally in film, Marching Powder sees writer-director Nick Love reunite with Danny Dyer, who is back in boisterous action as a middle-aged cocaine enthusiast and lower-leagues football hooligan.
PGGB Member Miguel Pariente was the Financial Controller, and Partners Loop Talent, Tysers, Team Engine, Sara Putt Associates, TPH Global, Film Finances, FilmFixer, Location One, Entertainment Partners and Spotlight were also involved.
In television, Fear comes to Prime Video. The edge-of-your-seat stalker thriller stars Martin Compston and Anjli Mohindra, and is available to stream in its entirety now.
PGGB Members Alison Barnett, Kathleen Lambie, Geoff Dibben and Michaela McCaffrey worked on the production, alongside Partners Tysers, Team Engine, SetKeeper, TPH Global, Screen Scotland and Location One.
