Superprime Films announces the signing of acclaimed actress and filmmaker Gyllenhaal for representation in branded and commercial work.
A creative force both in front of and behind the camera, Maggie Gyllenhaal fundamentally understands both performance and storytelling.
Her breakout performances in Secretary and Sherrybaby earned Golden Globe nominations, followed by an Academy Award nomination for Crazy Heart and major roles in blockbusters such as The Dark Knight.
Gyllenhaal made the transition into filmmaking with her directorial debut, The Lost Daughter, for which she also wrote the screenplay. Adapted from a novella by Elena Ferrante, it premiered at the Venice Film Festival and won the Golden Osella Best Screenplay Award. The film went on to be nominated for three Academy Awards, including Best Adapted Screenplay for Gyllenhaal, Best Actress for Olivia Colman, and Best Supporting Actress for Jessie Buckley. It also received nominations for Best Director at the Golden Globes and Best Adapted Screenplay at the BAFTAs. It won four Gotham Awards, including Best Feature and Breakthrough Director, a DGA Award, and three Independent Spirit Awards.
Most recently Gyllenhaal directed the feature film, The Bride!, a 1930s-set adaptation of Frankenstein, starring Jessie Buckley, Christian Bale, Annette Bening, Penélope Cruz, Peter Sarsgaard, and Jake Gyllenhaal. It will be released in theatres on March 6, 2026.
Superprime co-founder and EP Rebecca Skinner shared “Maggie’s experience on both sides of the camera uniquely positions her for creating a space to get the best performances from talent while also crafting emotionally resonant and visually unique films.”
Michelle Ross, co-founder of Superprime, echoed the sentiment: “Having seen The Bride, I can tell you it’s a beautiful film that evokes emotion on every level from love and sadness to humour and horror. That range is what makes Maggie such an exciting voice to bring a brand’s story to life.”
