Liam Coutts
Liam’s fingerprints are all over B Good Picture Company’s recent film lineup, not that he’ll brag about it. The guy’s been quietly steering some seriously ambitious projects. There’s this upcoming documentary, LARRY, which digs deep into the life of Laurence Olivier—yeah, the legend himself. Not your standard, dry documentary either; it really promises to get under the skin of the man behind all the Shakespearean grandeur. And if that’s not enough, there’s a Noel Coward biopic in the mix, penned by none other than Tony-nominated Martin Sherman. High expectations? Oh, absolutely.
Then there’s his work on DOCTOR JEKYLL. Eddie Izzard and Lindsay Duncan leading the cast—kind of a wild combo, but somehow it just works. That one’s not your run-of-the-mill adaptation, either. Liam’s knack for putting unexpected twists on classic stories really shines through. And don’t sleep on THE GREATEST SHOW NEVER MADE, a docu-series that dropped on Amazon Studios. Three parts, each one more bonkers than the last, peeling back the curtain on some truly bizarre behind-the-scenes moments in entertainment history.
Right now, Liam’s juggling co-producing MIDAS MAN, which chronicles the rise (and, let’s be real, the chaos) of Brian Epstein—the legendary manager who wrangled The Beatles into stardom. The cast is stacked: Jacob Fortune-Lloyd, Emily Watson, Eddie Marsan, Jay Leno… it’s like someone spun the wheel of British talent and just went for it. Trevor Beattie Films is backing this one, and with Liam at the production helm, you can bet it won’t just be another run-through of Beatles trivia. The guy has a way of making stories feel alive—messy, human, and impossible to forget.
