Production Guild Member Credits

Set to shoot Early 2014. Wrap July 2014. Cast: Ewan McGregor & Ralph Fiennes (currently in negotiations) Ewan McGregor will star in the international spy thriller as one half of a couple who gets mixed up with a Russian oligarch and major money launderer (who would be played by Mikkelsen). Caught up in his plans to defect, they are soon positioned between the Russian Mafia and the British Secret Service.

Fiennes would play the story’s UK government fixer Hector Meredith. Casting on the female lead has yet to be determined.

Snowtown’s Justin Kurzel directs from a script adapted by Hossein Amini (Drive and Snow White and the Huntsman). Le Carre has met both during the project’s development. StudioCanal will be selling the $35m project at the EFM, and will distribute in UK, France, Germany and Australia.

Producers are Simon and Stephen Cornwell for The Ink Factory and Andrea Calderwood and Gail Egan for Potboiler Productions. StudioCanal backs with Film4. Scheduled for a summer start, the shoot will take in Moscow, Marrakech, Paris, London and Switzerland. StudioCanal Chairman and CEO Olivier Courson told Screen: “This is the kind of film we love: elevated thrillers with mainstream appeal. The film offers another opportunity for us to make a Le Carre adaptation but with a more contemporary subject. Tinker Tailor was well received in a number of territories so we’re very excited.”

Producer Simon Cornwell, son of novelist Le Carre, told Screen: “This is a very contemporary story. Coming off Tinker Tailor and A Most Wanted Man this film also promises exciting scale and accessibility. It is about an everyman couple at its heart, audiences will get swept up in the story.”
