Thunder Road Films

Thunder Road Films is a film and television production company founded by Basil Iwanyk. It is based in Santa Monica, California.

Thunder Road's films have grossed over $4.1 billion worldwide and garnered nominations from the Academy Awards, Golden Globes, Producers Guild Awards, Writers Guild Awards, Directors Guild Awards, and AFI Awards. The company is known for producing a diverse range of films, including action blockbusters, dramas, and thrillers. Its most successful films include John Wick, The Town, and Sicario.

The company has developed a reputation for supporting the directorial debuts of established actors, with Taylor Sheridan, Halle Berry, and Dev Patel directing their first films with the company.

Producer Basil Iwanyk founded the film and television production company Thunder Road Films in the mid-2000s. In 2021, Erica Lee was named partner at Thunder Road, moving from her position as president of production.

In July 2011, after leaving Warner Bros. Television, Thunder Road signed a first-look deal with Sony Pictures Television to develop television projects.

In May 2013, Thunder Road signed on a deal with Cutting Edge Group to finance the company's film music slate. The first film covered under that deal was John Wick.

In May 2015, Thunder Road renewed its slate agreement with Cutting Edge Group and its investment arm, Conduct, which finances the music budgets of films and television programs in exchange for IP rights to each project's original music.

In September 2020, Thunder Road teamed with Redbox on joint venture Asbury Park Pictures for the purpose of making 12 films over the next three years. The film budgets would range between $10 million to $12 million, with distribution via Redbox kiosks and on demand services.
