Producing partners Kelly McCormick and David Leitch have been riding a bullet train for the past few years — and it's not slowing down.
In short succession, the couple (married seven years) and co-founders of 87North, launched in 2019 and now with five employees, released the Leitch-directed Atomic Blonde (2017), Deadpool 2 (2018) and Fast and Furious Presents: Hobbs & Shaw (2019), which grossed a combined $1.6 billion globally.
And, just a few weeks ago, they wrapped production on Sony's Bullet Train, the upcoming Brad Pitt crime caper shot amid the pandemic.
Before producing, McCormick was executive vp production and acquisitions at Sierra Affinity, where she packaged such projects as Whiplash, Nightcrawler and Manchester by the Sea,.
