Spies for hire, a mother-and-son assassin duo and a very secret wartime mission. Our Guild Members had quite the week.
Black Doves Series 2 arrived on Netflix on 5th November, with all six episodes available at once. Helen is still passing her country’s secrets to the covert organisation she serves, but as members of the Black Doves begin to be assassinated, she is reunited with her old friend Sam and drawn back towards old enemies. Keira Knightley, Ben Whishaw, Sarah Lancashire and Andrew Buchan return, with Ambika Mod, Neve Campbell and Babou Ceesay joining the cast. Four Guild Members were part of the team: Tara Bhoola (Post Production Producer), Casper Mill (Supervising Location Manager), Matt Dalton (Post Production Accountant) and Tamaryn Pitout (Payroll Accountant).
Today, The Assassin Series 2 arrives on Prime Video, with all six episodes available at once. Julie and Edward are estranged again after a disastrous trip to Berlin, but to survive their latest job and mend their fragile relationship, they must take down Spain’s corrupt underworld, and hopefully not each other. Keeley Hawes and Freddie Highmore return in the thriller from Harry and Jack Williams, filmed in Malta. Guild Member Stephen Mintoff served as Production Coordinator.
Also in cinemas today, Think of England is the provocative new drama from BAFTA-nominated writer-director Richard Hawkins. Set in the summer of 1943 and inspired by an enduring wartime rumour, it follows a small group sent on a covert government mission ahead of the Normandy landings. Starring Jack Bandeira, Natalie Quarry, Ronni Ancona and John McCrea. Guild Members Kelly Johnson-Beavan & Nick O’Hagan produced the film for Giant Films.
