That doesn't sound too bad.
ReplyDeleteAt least Matthew is always good. I actually translated one of Le Carre's books for the readers in my country but not these ones.
DeleteI liked that Le Carré depicted spying as not being all glamour and beautiful people. He had some experience I believe. Then Ian Fleming had experience and he made spying sound somewhat exciting. Malcplm.Macfayen has the acting chops so that's in his favour.
ReplyDeleteHe definitely does have acting chops.
DeleteI'm not usually drawn to these types of projects, but it sounds like one that would be pretty popular with those who are.
ReplyDeleteMost probably, especially his fans.
