Capture’s Ella Field said: “We’re thrilled to unveil the first footage from our original action thriller Seven Snipers at this year’s Cannes Film Festival. It’s a privilege to work with the legendary Tim Roth, and to collaborate with Head Gear and Monster Pictures Studios in bringing this action-packed cinematic experience to the Croisette.”
Hardie added: “As our debut production under the Monster Pictures Studios banner, this film sets the tone for what we’re here to do; bold, elevated genre storytelling with global appeal. It’s been a privilege to collaborate with our brilliant partners and a massive congratulations to everyone involved.”
Hunt noted: “Head Gear has rapidly evolved in recent years, expanding beyond financing to play a hands-on role in development, packaging, and production. This film marks one of our early fully-realised projects under this expanded approach— now launched into the marketplace and building momentum ahead of its release to global audiences.”
