Studiocanal, Film4 and The Ink Factory, in association with Potboiler Productions, started this week the shoot in London of “Our Kind of Traitor”.
Susanna White directs this adaptation of John le Carré’s novel from a script by Hossein Amini, with a cast headed by Ewan McGregor, Stellan Skarsgard, Damian Lewis, Naomie Harris, and Jeremy Northam.
An English couple, Perry (McGregor) and Gail (Harris), are taking a holiday in Marrakech. By chance they bump into a Russian millionaire called Dima (Skarsgard) who owns a villa and a diamond-encrusted gold watch. He also has a tattoo on his right thumb, and wants a game of tennis. What else he wants propels the couple on a tortuous journey through Paris to a safe house in the Swiss Alps, to the murkiest cloisters of the City of London and its unholy alliance with Britain’s Intelligence Establishment.
“Our Kind of Traitor” will shoot on location in London and the Home Counties, Finland, Bern, Paris, the French Alps and Marrakech for 10 weeks, until the end of May.
