Jacob Stuart

Local Filmmaker has Multiple Film Projects Ahead

By

Jacob Stuart is collaborating with Dougie Brimson (CEO of Red Bus Movies, Green Street, We Still Kill the Old Way) to bring the true story of Roy Larner to the screen. Known as the “Lion of London Bridge,” Larner famously shouted “F**k you! I’m Millwall!” as he single-handedly fought off three terrorists during the 2017 Borough Market attack.

Actor Leo Gregory (Green Street, Top Dog) is set to portray Larner, with plans for crowdfunding to give the public a stake in this powerful story of resilience and injustice. Roy Larner will serve as a script consultant to ensure the film’s authenticity.
