Coldest City Comes to The Screen

Coldest City Adapted for the Big Screen

According to Variety, Antony Johnston and Sam Hart’s Coldest City, published by Oni, is coming to the big screen.

John Wick director David Leitch recently announced he would be helming the pic rather than John Wick 2, which will be helmed by his partner Chad Stahelski. Cast includes James McAvoy and Charlize Theron.

Kurt Johnstad wrote the movie about an undercover MI6 officer turns up dead on the eve of the fall of the Berlin Wall, and a female super spy by the name of Lorraine Broughton (Theron) must find the list he was smuggling into the West – a log containing the names of every espionage agent working undercover in Berlin. Broughton delves into an underground world of counter-intelligence, defections gone awry and secret assassinations to recover the list, risking her own life to save the lives of the British agents. But, in this world of deceit and double-crossing, one never knows who is working for whom or can really be trusted.

Focus acquired the film at the Cannes Film Festival earlier this year. Production is set for a November shoot in Budapest and Berlin.

The movie will be produced by Denver and Delilah Productions, Oni Press and Sierra Pictures.
