With a staggered worldwide release, those in the U.K. recently had the opportunity to se a John le Carré adaptation on their television thanks to the Tom Hiddleston-led The Night Manager, ahead of a bow on AMC starting this Sunday. However, it’s not the only work from the thriller expert coming to screens this year as Our Kind of Traitor will arrive in U.S. starting on July 1st. Led by Ewan McGregor, Stellan Skarsgard, Damian Lewis and Naomie Harris, we now have a new trailer and clip.
Directed by Susanna White (Boardwalk Empire, Generation Kill) and adapted by Hossein Amini (The Two Faces of January, Drive), it follows a couple drawn into a dangerous game of international espionage, caught between a money-launder, the Russian mafia, the British government, and a ruthless MI6 agent. Check out the trailer, clip, 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).
Our Kind of Traitor opens on July 1st.
