ALL THE OLD KNIVES
TO MATCH CHRIS PINE WITH THANDIE NEWTON An interesting pairing indeed: Deadline reports that Olen Steinhauer's novel ALL THE OLD KNIVES will be adapted into a thriller starring Thandie Newton and Chris Pine with Janus Metz at the helm. Set in the town of Carmel-by-the-Sea it follows ex-lovers, one a CIA spy, one an ex-spy, who meet over dinner to reminisce on their time together at Vienna station.

The conversation moves inevitably to the disastrous hijacking of Royal Jordanian Flight 127, which ended in the deaths of all on board. That failure haunts the CIA to this day, and Henry has come to Carmel to close the book on that seedy chapter. As they parry, flirting, over California cuisine, it becomes clear that one of them is not going to survive the meal.

As you've probably heard the estate of
Arthur Conan
Doyle is suing the production because they've changed the essence of
Holmes turning him into a kind man instead of a brash and arrogant
detective that he always was.
Ah, so Superman and Sherlock. Should be fun.
ReplyDeleteIf you can tolerate the horrid little actress :)
DeleteI find it so hard to see what's left of Sam Claflin. He has to be half his weight! All the Old Knives sounds like an interesting plot. I just hope it's not mostly one of them chasing the other the entire time. Those are the worst!
ReplyDeleteWe need to track Sammy down and feed him well.
DeleteYes!! I’ll bring my nanny so she can stuff him with some meatballs!
DeleteWe'd take really good care of him!
DeleteThandie and Chris do seem like a fun little pairing. The movie doesn't sound half bad, either!
ReplyDeleteThey are both very arrogant so it will be interesting to see whose arrogance wins :)
