Exciting news for film enthusiasts! James Marquand’s highly anticipated spy thriller, "The Partisan," featuring the legendary Malcolm McDowell, is making its way to theaters this fall. According to The Hollywood Reporter, the film is set to debut in October, with distribution handled by Brainstorm Media for audiences in the U.S. and Canada, and in partnership with High Fliers Films in the UK.
For viewers in Poland, Media Squad Distribution and Monolith Films are on board to bring this gripping tale to theaters.
"The Partisan" reunites the talented production team of Robert Chadaj, Krystian Kozlowski, and Matt Whyte, known for their previous work on the acclaimed 2018 film "Hurricane."
