Tom Holland is adding yet another venture to his growing list of accomplishments. The 28-year-old actor has officially launched a production company called Billy17, in partnership with his brother Harry Holland and producer Will South. This exciting new chapter follows closely on the heels of Tom’s October launch of his non-alcoholic beer brand, Bero.
Billy17 already has its first project lined up—a film titled Burnt, with Oscar-winning writer Rodney Rothman attached to bring the story to life.
“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,” Tom said in a statement to Variety. “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 which has been sitting in our heads for a few years, and 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.”
Billy17 has found a home at Sony Pictures, a studio Tom has a long-standing relationship with thanks to his work on blockbuster hits like the Spider-Man franchise and Uncharted.
In addition to Burnt, Billy17 is already setting its sights on other projects. The company will help produce an adaptation of Graeme Simsion’s novel The Rosie Project and an adaptation of Teddy Wayne’s The Winner. Tom is set to star in The Winner, which will also be produced by Spider-Man collaborator Amy Pascal.
While Tom’s venture into production is making headlines, his acting slate is equally packed. He’s gearing up to star in American Speed alongside Austin Butler and will reunite on-screen with girlfriend Zendaya in an untitled Christopher Nolan film that boasts a star-studded cast. Plus, fans can look forward to seeing him suit up as Spider-Man again, with his fourth outing as the iconic web-slinger slated to begin filming in 2025.
