Building Action-Packed Legacies

David Leitch, a former stuntman, has over the past decade directed several high-profile action films.

Exploring the Plot of Nobody

The film Nobody was directed by Ilya Naishuller with a script by Derek Kolstad. The story follows Hutch Mansell, an ordinary family man played by Bob Odenkirk. Hutch springs into action following a home invasion that triggers dormant lethal skills in him. His quest for revenge, however, endangers his family.

Return to the Violent Night Universe

Co-produced by Leitch, Violent Night is a gripping tale directed by Tommy Wirkola with the screenplay penned by Patrick Casey and Josh Miller. The plot revolves around an elite group of mercenaries who perform a hostage takeover on Christmas Eve. Prepared for resistance, they are however caught off guard by a surprise combatant, Santa Claus, depicted by David Harbour.
