Birthdate: Jun 12, 1992
Birthplace: Maidstone, Kent, England
Georgina Campbell (birthname: Georgina Alice Campbell) has performed extensively in episodic and miniseries television, and—after eight years of stellar TV credits—began to land roles in movies, starting with Guy Ritchie’s King Arthur: Legend of the Sword (2017), starring Charlie Hunnam, Àstrid Bergès-Frisbey, Djimon Hounsou, Jude Law, and Eric Bana, but delivering a poor box office number of $148.7 million on a $175 million budget. Campbell had her first big-screen starring role in writer-director Jonathan W. Stokes’s Iraq War-based thriller, Wildcat (2021), with Luke Benward and Mido Hamada.
Campbell co-starred in her third feature role in the British comic-horror movie, All My Friends Hate Me (2021), with Tom Stourton, Charley Clive, and Antonia Clarke, which premiered at the Tribeca Film Festival and was released by BFI Distribution. Campbell made her biggest impression to date as the lead in director-writer Zach Cregger’s acclaimed Detroit-based horror film, Barbarian (2022), with Bill Skarsgård, Justin Long, Matthew Patrick Davies, Richard Brake, and Kurt Braunohler, which turned a tremendous profit for producers (including Regency Enterprises) and distributor 20th Century Studios with a $45.4 million global return on a $4 million budget.
Georgina Campbell starred in (and earned strong reviews for) debuting director-writer Teresa Sutherland’s horror movie, Lovely, Dark, and Deep (2023), with Nick Blood and Wai Ching Ho, which premiered at the Fantasia film festival before a theatrical release by XYZ Films. Campbell co-starred with Dakota Fanning in director-writer Ishana Night Shyamalan’s first feature film, The Watchers (2024), based on A.M. Shine’s novel and released wide by Warner Bros.
Campbell co-starred opposite Liam Neeson in writer-producer David Koepp’s thriller, Cold Storage (date to be announced), based on Koepp’s 2019 novel, with a cast including Joe Keery, Sosie Bacon, Lesley Manville, and Vanessa Redgrave under Jonny Campbell’s direction, and produced and released by StudioCanal. Campbell starred in the crime thriller, Psycho Killer (date to be announced), with Logan Miller, James Preston Rogers, David Tomlinson, and Josh Strait under Gavin Polone’s direction, written by Andrew Kevin Walker and produced by Constantin Film and New Regency Productions.
Georgina Campbell took a turn toward producing as executive producer on writer-director Kelsey Taylor’s contemporary re-telling of Little Red Riding Hood with To Kill a Wolf (date to be announced), starring Michael Esper, Kaitlin Doubleday, and Maddison Brown.
