Havoc becomes #1 Netflix film across the globe in first week of release

Severn Screen’s latest feature, HAVOC, has reached #1 on Netflix’s weekly Global Top 10 list of English films with 29.8 million views, becoming the most watched title of the week across Netflix.

The film stars Tom Hardy in the high-octane action thriller written and directed by Gareth Evans (The Raid, Gangs of London). The latest project from the Severn Screen stable is produced by Ed Talfan for Severn Screen alongside Gareth Evans for One More One Productions, Aram Tertzakian for XYZ Films and Tom Hardy.

Havoc is also the largest feature film ever shot entirely in Wales and is the culmination of many years of work by an incredible team of people that make up the cast, crew, facilities and supply chain across Wales and beyond. 

A recently released report by Netflix and Creative Wales revealed that Wales has become one of Netflix’s key production hubs. The country has been a filming location for a wide range of productions, including Havoc.

Alongside the contribution to the UK economy, the report highlights how Netflix productions in Wales have also supported over 500 businesses across the country.

Gareth Evans, Director of Havoc: “It was such an exciting prospect to make a film such as Havoc in Wales. Seeing the impact that productions of its scope can have on local businesses while showcasing the creative talent here has been incredible. I hope that what we have achieved with this film will go some way towards seeing many more filmmakers continue to choose Wales as the place to tell their story”.
