EX HUSBANDS FOR AMAZON

Billy Eichner will also produce

And I have to admit it sounds like it will be a really fun comedy movie. We are gay all the way today with the news that Billy Eichner and Paul Rudnick have written EX HUSBANDS which Amazon has won in a very expensive bidding war with other streamers. Eichner will also star in this comedy which tells the story of Daniel and Connor, who were madly in love when they became the first gay couple in NYC to get legally married in 2015 and poster boys for LGBTQ love and acceptance – with an epic wedding party to boot! The only problem now is: they’re getting an even more epic divorce. It’s a War of the Roses-style battle for the ages as Daniel and Connor viciously, hilariously and poignantly become Ex-Husbands.

'THE TRANSLATORS' THRILLER

TO PUT OLGA KURYLENKO & LAMBER WILSON IN A BUNKER

Olga Kurylenko will lead the translators

As you know, your trusted spy works as a book translator and I can tell you that the job can be unusual sometimes. A few years ago when one of Dan Brown's new books was sold to foreign publishers, their translators from all the bigger markets were flown to Italy and locked there in a villa for two months without any contact with the outside world so that no information would leak about the new book.

Something like that happens in new thriller THE TRANSLATORS coming from France later this year and starring Olga Kurylenko, Alex Lawther, Lambert Wilson and Eduardo Noriega in the story of nine translators, hired to translate the eagerly awaited final book of a best selling trilogy, who are confined in a luxurious bunker. When the first ten pages of the top secret manuscript appear online, the dream job becomes a nightmare -

the thief is one of them and the publisher is ready to do whatever it takes to unmask him - or her. Stay tuned for more info about the project in the future!
