Tom Holland is stepping into the world of film production with the launch of his new company, Billy17. Collaborating with his brother Harry Holland and creative partner Will South, the trio has already secured a production deal with Sony Pictures. Their first project under this partnership promises to be an original film, signaling the start of an exciting new chapter in Holland’s career.
Billy17 is currently developing a movie titled Burnt, with Academy Award-winning writer Rodney Rothman attached to script the project. While specific plot details remain under wraps, there’s speculation that Holland himself will take on a starring role. Additionally, the team at Billy17 is gearing up to produce an adaptation of Graeme Simsion’s bestselling novel, The Rosie Project, in collaboration with Sony Pictures. Another major venture includes The Winner, a novel by Teddy Wayne, which Holland is also set to star in, with Amy Pascal joining as a co-producer.
In an official statement, Tom Holland expressed his enthusiasm for this new journey. “I’ve had an incredibly happy and successful relationship with Sony Pictures for almost a decade, so they felt like the perfect partner to launch our production company with,” Holland said. “It’s been an ambition of mine to take this step for some time now, and we’re incredibly excited to bring entertaining and rewatchable movies to the big screen. This is the hope for us, and it starts with Burnt, an idea that has been sitting in our heads for a few years. Having Rodney attached to pen our most ambitious project is incredible. We’re diving into the deep end here, and we’re extremely excited for what comes next.”
Sony Pictures Motion Picture Group chairman and CEO, Tom Rothman, also shared his excitement for the partnership. “Tom, Harry, and Will are bursting with cool ideas and have the zeal to follow through on them,” Rothman said. “Sony is lucky as hell to be extending our already immensely successful relationship with Tom, and our ongoing work on the franchises we have together, to a new era which will take advantage of the trio’s producing skills, in wonderful addition to Tom’s extraordinary acting abilities. We are pushing hard on these new projects, with doubtless more to come.”
With Billy17 now officially in the spotlight, Tom Holland and his team are poised to bring their creative vision to life, delivering stories that captivate audiences while expanding Holland’s impact beyond the screen. The future looks bright for this dynamic new production company.
