M3GAN 2.0 is coming.

The BBC and ZDF are teaming up to co-produce a “flirty,” darkly comic spy drama set in 1980s Berlin and created by Emma Moran, who wrote Disney+ series Extraordinary.

Leo Barraclough International Features Editor U.K. network BBC and German broadcaster ZDF have teamed up to order darkly comedic Cold War thriller “Honey,” described as “tender and flirty, slick and dangerous,” from Sally Woodward Gentle’s Sid Gentle Films, best known for “Killing Eve.” Fifth Season is handling global distribution.

Manuel Betancourt Seeing oneself through someone else’s eyes can be illuminating, but it can also be quite intoxicating — especially when said eyes belong to an artist eager to look at everything around him as fodder for his own artmaking. Koya Kamura’s “Winter in Sokcho” (an adaptation of Elisa Shua Dusapin’s novel by the same name) stages that very tension between a French-Korean young woman and an older French illustrator. The two forge an odd kinship that is as tenuous as it is enticing and which proves, throughout Kamura’s wistful twinned portrait of alienation, hard to maintain and harder still to understand.

Wilson, the producers whose family has overseen all things 007 for decades.

The Guardian in July 2013, Clooney revealed how he’d been funding The Satellite Sentinel Project as part of his activism in campaigning against the Sudanese government at the time.Clooney, who was arrested outside the Sudanese embassy in Washington D.C. in 2012 for protesting, told the paper that “most of the money I make on the [Nespresso] commercials I spend keeping a satellite over the border of North and South Sudan to keep an eye on Omar al-Bashir [the former Sudanese dictator who has been accused of war crimes]”.“Then al-Bashir puts out a statement saying that I’m spying on him and how would I like it if a camera was following me everywhere I went and I go ‘well welcome to my life Mr War Criminal’,” Clooney continued.

Frank Rizzo An astonishing, loopy and very true World War II story about Great Britain tricking Germany into believing false invasion plans has been the source material for non-fiction books and movies dramas. But this ludicrous 1943 espionage plot involving a corpse, fake papers and amazing good fortune also lends itself to absurdity.

We’ve confirmed that the Jason Bourne franchise is on the block, and leaving its original home of Universal.

Daniel Craig can thank Michael Fassbender for landing the role of James Bond!

Brent Lang Executive Editor “Black Bag,” an elegant, quick-witted new thriller that finds Cate Blanchett and Michael Fassbender playing married spies, isn’t the pair’s first time together on screen. That honor goes to 2017’s “Song to Song,” one of Terrence Malick’s most intangible and head-scratching offerings — though the two stars can barely recall that experience. “We walked past one another,” Blanchett says, scrunching her temples as if searching valiantly for the memory.

Who’s coming over for dinner, you ask? Oh, just a group of British spies who might have something to hide about a plan that jeopardizes the lives of thousands of innocent people. The hosts? A married spy couple.
