The Wikipedia entry for Cold War II describes the situation thus: “a state of political and military tension between Russia and the Western world“. Sounds like a good recipe for a movie!
Damien Lewis, Naoimie Harris and Ewan McGregor will star in Our Kind of Traitor, an upcoming espionage movie. Check out the trailer and poster below.
While on holiday in Marrakech, an ordinary English couple, Perry (Ewan McGregor) and Gail (Naomie Harris), befriend a flamboyant and charismatic Russian, Dima (Stellan Skarsgård), who unbeknownst to them is a kingpin money launderer for the Russian mafia. When Dima asks for their help to deliver classified information to the British Secret Services, Perry and Gail get caught in a dangerous world of international espionage and dirty politics. The couple is propelled on a perilous journey through Paris and Bern, a safe house in the French Alps, to the murky corners of the City of London and an alliance with the British Government via a ruthless and determined MI6 agent (Damian Lewis).
