Cast

Production

Mr. Malcolm's List is a book and feature film written by Suzanne Allain with the film directed & produced by Emma Holly Jones. Suzanne self-published her book in 2009 and subsequently adapted it into a script. Mr Malcolm's List was discovered by filmmaker Emma Holly Jones when The Black List did a podcast script reading of the highly rated script submitted through the website in 2015. Emma pursued the rights and then brought on producer Laura Rister and subsequently Laura Lewis to produce the feature version. The team decided to make a short film, overture as a teaser to the feature version and partnered with Vice Studios’ Refinery29 and their Shatterbox short film series for female filmmakers to make the short. It was shot in October 2018 in London and was released online on February 14, 2019 and, to date, has had over 2 million views. The short film starred Freida Pinto (who is also an Executive Producer), Ṣọpẹ́ Dìrísù, Oliver Jackson-Cohen, and Gemma Chan. Based on its success, Suzanne's novel was published in 2020 by Berkley Press and the feature film was financed. The team partnered with producer Katie Holly and her Blinder Films to shoot in Ireland and started production in March 2021. The feature stars Pinto, Dìrísù, Jackson-Cohen and additions to the cast included Zawe Ashton, Theo James and Ashley Park. The film will be released in the U.S. by Bleecker Street on July 1, 2022 and internationally by Universal.
