Hello, this is Dom…

From Vue Lumière, the new Julia Jackman – 100 Nights of Hero – will be released in UK & Irish cinemas on 6th February 2026. Here’s what they had to say:

Following its recent three BIFA nominations, this brings the film into the awards corridor for BAFTA consideration across multiple categories, including Best British Film, Best Director, Adapted Screenplay, various HODs/crafts and both leading and supporting cast.

Directed by Julia Jackman, 100 Nights of Hero had its World Premiere at the Venice International Film Festival 2025 and was the Closing Night Film of this year’s BFI London Film Festival. It features an all-star cast, including Emma Corrin (Nosferatu, The Crown), Nicholas Galitzine (upcoming Masters of the Universe), Maika Monroe (Longlegs), BAFTA winner Amir El-Masry (Limbo, Giant) and Charli xcx, alongside Academy AwardⓇ nominees Richard E Grant and Felicity Jones.

Based on the acclaimed graphic novel by Isabel Greenberg, and inspired by the Middle Eastern folktale One Thousand and One Nights, it is a fantastical take on multiple stories, multiple loves, loyalty, madness, wagers, seduction, betrayal and the secret League of Story Tellers. The narrative highlights female friendship and the subversive power of storytelling.

The film is produced by Stephanie Aspin and Helen Simmons of Erebus Pictures, alongside producer/financier Grant S Johnson of Project Infinity (May December, The Assessment). The international rights are represented by WME Independent.

Vue Lumière’s Director of Distribution, Eve Gabereau, says: “I am thrilled to be bringing this film to the UK and Ireland and to be joining forces with the team behind it, from director Julia Jackman whose work I have admired including Bonus Track which was co-created by Josh O’Connor and her short, Pigs, starring Olivia Williams, to the extraordinary producers Helen Simmons, Stephanie Aspin and Grant S. Johnson, to the most inspired cast for this much-loved graphic novel adaptation.”
