'THE NIGHT MANAGER'

TOM HIDDLESTON SERIES

Now, you know we don't do much crime shows here at the HOLLYWOOD SPY's but this is Hiddles we're talking about, so I'm sure you will understand! Earlier this weekend BBC has unleashed the first trailer for their upcoming new seriesTHE NIGHT MANAGER starring our dearest ever Tom Hiddleston! The small screen adaptation of John Le Carre's novel will air in UK next month and in USA in April with a rather stunning cast which besides Hiddles also includes another of our beloved faves Russell Tovey, then Hugh Laurie, Tobias Menzies, Olivia Colman, Tom Hollander, David Harewood and Katherine Kelly.

THE DEEPER YOU GO, THE DARKER IT GETS

The six episode mini series, which is to premiere first at Berlin Film Festival this year, the first television adaptation of a le Carré novel in more than 20 years, will bring together love, loss and revenge in a complex story of modern criminality. The eagerly anticipated series follows former British soldier Jonathan Pine (Tom Hiddleston) who is recruited by an intelligence operative named Burr (Olivia Colman) to navigate the shadowy recesses of Whitehall and Washington where an unholy alliance operates between the intelligence community and the secret arms trade. To infiltrate the inner circle of lethal arms dealer Richard Onslow Roper (Hugh Laurie), which includes girlfriend Jed (Elizabeth Debicki) and an associate named Corcoran (Tom Hollander), Pine must himself become a criminal.

Yet another book that your dearest Dezzy is translating this year, the collection of stories LET IS NOW from John Green (The Fault In Our Stars), Maureen Johnson (13 Little Blue Envelopes) and Lauren Myracle (Internet Girls) is finally moving on with the adaptation! Universal will release the film in December 2016! The project which I mentioned for the first time four years ago, will see PITCH PERFECT's Kay Cannon pen the script for the romantic festive film in which charming interconnected tales of love, romance, and breathtaking kisses are set in a little town stranded in a Christmas snowstorm.
