Ridley Scott starts spy games
It seems that Ridley Scott never rests: last year he presented two films to the audience at once, and the list of his potential directorial projects is growing with enviable consistency. As the website of The Wrap managed to find out, Scott is now in talks to lead the filming of the spy thriller Queen & Country ("Queen and Country" *), based on the comic of the same name by Greg Ruki.At one time, the original, which was published from 2001 to 2007, enjoyed popularity among readers and received the Eisner Prize of Honor. The plot of the film adaptation will revolve around Tara Chase, a British intelligence agent who becomes a decoy for an international terrorist who carried out an attack in London. Hollywood producers have been trying to film the comic for ten years now. Ellen Page once claimed the lead role in the film, and Craig Viveyros ("The Debtor") was supposed to lead the shooting. Now they are not involved in the work on the project, and a new scriptwriter for the tape has not yet been found. In addition to the fact that Ridley Scott is going to take the director's chair for the film, he will also take on the production functions.  Ridley Scott has always stayed away from movie comics, but the graphic novel "Queen and Country" is written in the spy genre, which is at its peak. Last year, viewers watched Explosive Blonde and Kingsman: The Golden Ring, and a couple of weeks ago, Red Sparrow was released. However, it is not yet known what project Scott will take up in the near future. He has a wide choice: Ridley can direct the saga of Merlin for Disney, finally film the novel Cartel, or please moviegoers with another Alien. * - preliminary translation.
