Oni’s The Coldest City Adaptation Gets A Release Date
McAvoy and Theron Enter the Cold War Next Summer
♦News is coming from over at EW that the film adaptation of Anthony Johnston and Sam Hart’s graphic novel The Coldest City, published by Oni, has a release date for 2017…
Charlize Theron and James McAvoy will warm things up next summer in The Coldest City. EW has learned Focus Features will release the global action-thriller, which started filming in Europe last November, on 11 August 2017.
Based on the graphic novel of the same name by Antony Johnston and illustrated by Sam Hart, the high-stakes story takes place on the eve of the Berlin Wall’s collapse, when Lorraine Broughton (Theron), a top-level spy for MI6, confronts an espionage ring in Berlin. The station chief, David Percival (McAvoy), is ordered to cooperate with Broughton in order to uncover the truth behind an undercover agent’s mysterious death.
David Leitch, who left John Wick 2 to pursue this project, is directing, based on a script by Kurt Johnstad, who wrote 300 and the upcoming Justice League tie-in film Aquaman.
The Coldest City also stars John Goodman, Sofia Boutella, Til Schweiger, James Faulkner, Eddie Marsan, Roland Møller, Bill Skarsgård, and Toby Jones.
