Tom Holland is making waves beyond acting by launching his own production company, Billy17, in partnership with Sony Pictures. The new venture, co-founded with his brother Harry Holland and producer Will South, is set to deliver high-profile and rewatchable films for audiences worldwide.
The First Project: Burnt
Kicking off their creative journey, Billy17’s first project is Burnt, an original film envisioned as a starring vehicle for Holland himself. The screenplay will be penned by Rodney Rothman, the Academy Award-winning writer of Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse. Holland’s involvement both behind and in front of the camera signals an exciting evolution in his career.
Expanding the Slate
In addition to Burnt, Billy17 has a slate of promising projects in development:
The Rosie Project: An adaptation of Graeme Simsion’s bestseller, produced in collaboration with TriStar Pictures and Jason Bateman’s Aggregate Films.
The Winner: A film adaptation of Teddy Wayne’s novel, featuring Holland in the lead role.
These projects highlight Billy17’s focus on diverse storytelling, with Holland leveraging his creative instincts and industry relationships to bring unique narratives to life.
Building a Legacy
Holland shared his excitement about this new chapter, saying, “It’s been an ambition of mine to take this step for some time now, and we’re incredibly excited to bring entertaining, rewatchable movies to the big screen.” Sony Pictures’ Tom Rothman also praised the trio’s creative vision, emphasizing the bright future ahead for Billy17.
