James Norrie

James is kinda one of those industry folks who’s been everywhere and done pretty much everything, right? The guy kicked things off at Mel Gibson’s Icon Entertainment—pretty wild starting line if you ask me. Not many people can say their early gigs involved stuff like What Women Want or The Passion Of The Christ, let alone Apocalypto. That’s some heavy-hitter territory, like, you’re not just talking indie films at a coffee shop here. Anyway, after that, James didn’t just hang around; he jumped into leading sales for Capitol Films, The Salt Company, and AMP. Basically, if there’s a film market, he’s probably got a badge for it tucked away somewhere. Along the way, he’s repped all sorts of stuff—huge mainstream movies, sure, but also those slightly off-the-beaten-path gems. Like, Before The Devil Knows You’re Dead? Such an underrated thriller. And then there’s The Edge Of Love, which is all moody and poetic, or An Ideal Husband if you’re into that whole Oscar Wilde cleverness. Miss You Already? Total tearjerker. Lately, he’s been steering some wild genre stuff through the chaos—Anna And The Apocalypse is this bonkers zombie musical, and The Wretched literally hit number one at the US box office. Not too shabby. And then, Murder At Yellowstone City, which, let’s be honest, just sounds epic. So yeah, James isn’t just some background exec. He’s one of those people actually shaping what ends up on your screen, whether it’s a blockbuster or something a little weirder.
