Resume: Jamie Dornan

Jamie Dornan made his debut all the way back in Season 1, but has become a more featured actor in the last few seasons. For the first edition of Resume in Season 15, we will take a look at another one of Last Resort Film's rising home-grown stars....



















Season 1
The Mummy
Director: Francis Lawrence
Writer: D.R. Cobb


Budget: $115,000,000
Domestic Box Office: $159,078,048
Foreign Box Office: $211,118,574
Total Profit: $310,877,432


The Mummy was a large box office success and helped launch the studio's Monster Universe. Dornan had one of the lead roles in the film, but it only received mixed reviews from the critics despite being a hit with audiences.

Season 11
Police Story: The Return
Director: Patrick Hughes
Writer: Meirad Tako



Budget: $50,000,000
Domestic Box Office: $41,997,304
Foreign Box Office: $101,389,328
Total Profit: $9,441,725


After 10 seasons away from LRF, Dornan returned for the reboot of the famed Hong Kong Police Story series. The film was a surprise success at the box office and was just the start of a very busy Season 11 for Dornan.


Radisson
Director: Joe Wright
Writer: Mo Buck



Budget: $62,000,000
Domestic Box Office: $61,399,802
Foreign Box Office: $89,778,700
Total Profit: $12,557,209


Next up for Dornan was a supporting role in the grand historical drama, Radisson. He played a British officer in the film which was a hit with audiences and critics alike.


Flash Gordon
Director: James Gunn
Writer: Roy Horne


Budget: $170,000,000
Domestic Box Office: $279,399,204
Foreign Box Office: $366,647,222
Total Profit: $101,470,173


Jamie Dornan's third and final film of Season 11 was the sci-fi/fantasy epic, Flash Gordon. He played Prince Barin, prince of the planet Arboria, in the film. Flash Gordon was a huge hit at the box office, and received solid notices from critics.


Season 13
The Tournament
Director: Paul Greengrass
Writer: Jimmy Ellis



Budget: $49,000,000
Domestic Box Office: $47,490,381
Foreign Box Office: $39,992,854
Total Profit: -$10,577,429

Next, Dornan headlined the historical thriller, The Tournament. He played the mentor of Queen Elizabeth I who must solve a mystery. The film failed at the box office. The performances of Dornan and his co-star, Raffey Cassidy, were praised, but critics were not impressed with the other aspects of the film.

Up Next: Dornan has the sequel to Police Story: The Return, Police Story: Extradition, about to hit theaters. Later in Season 15, Dornan will star in one of the lead roles in the studio's X-Men film. Dornan will also presumably appear in the sequel to Flash Gordon which is in development at the studio.
