THE MEDIAPRO STUDIO US & Canada and BBC Film have announced the coproduction of the new feature film THE END OF IT and have revealed its cast including BAFTA award-winning Rebecca Hall (The Listeners, Christine, Vicky Christina Barcelona), Golden Globe award-winning Gael GarcÍa Bernal (Mozart In The Jungle, Old, Y Tu Mama Tambien), BAFTA nominated Noomi Rapace (Lamb, Prometheus, The Girl With The Dragon Tattoo)  and Golden Globe nominated Beanie Feldstein (Booksmart, Lady Bird, How To Build A Girl). THE END OF IT is the feature directorial debut of Maria Martinez Bayona, who also penned the script. Production began in April 2025 on location in the Canary Islands, Spain.

In a near-future world where ageing can be cured and death is now optional, Claire (Rebecca Hall) a former provocative artist approaching her 250th birthday, decides she’s had enough – she wants to die. Her decision stirs conflicts with her husband (Gael García Bernal), daughter (Noomi Rapace) and AI assistant (Beanie Feldstein), revealing the humorous complexity of their relationships. As Claire uses her impending death to reclaim her role as an artist, she is forcd to face what it really means to die, to live, and the messy absurdity of it all.
