James Marquand’s The Partisan with Malcolm McDowell will premiere in theaters this fall, The Hollywood Reporter can reveal.
Sisyphus, Nostromo Films, and Brainstorm Media have confirmed the spy thriller will debut in October, via Brainstorm Media for the U.S. and Canada and in partnership with High Fliers Films in Britain. Media Squad Distribution and Monolith Films will release the movie in Poland.
The Partisan reunites the producing team of Robert Chadaj, Krystian Kozlowski and Matt Whyte whose previous productions include 2018’s Hurricane. It stars Morgane Polanski (Vikings) as Polish agent Krystyna Skarbek, who works for the British Special Operations Executive.
The movie’s central character was a real-life operative often credited as the inspiration for Ian Fleming’s Vesper Lynd. The Partisan focuses on the exploits of Skarbek, one of Britain’s premier female spies, whose bravery helped shape the course of World War II.
An exclusive still for the film was released to THR on Friday and shows A Clockwork Orange actor McDowell in character. Piotr Adamczyk (Hawkeye), Ingvar Sigurdsson (Everest) and Agata Kulesza (Cold War) also star.
The Partisan’s worldwide sales are handled by Capture, who has inked additional deals with Germany (Lighthouse), ANZ (Eagle), Eastern Europe excluding (Daro), Spain (Divisa Red), LATAM (Global Media Distribution), the Middle East (Phoenicia), Portugal (Nos Lusomundo), Greece (Spentzos), South Korea (Poongkyung Sori) and airlines (Ricochet).
