Bridge of Spies (Spielberg, 2015)

Quote :

Bridge of Spies is written by Matt Charman and Joel & Ethan Coen and stars Tom Hanks, Mark Rylance, Amy Ryan, Alan Alda and Eve Hewson. It is based on the 1960 U-2 incident, in which a lawyer named James Donovan is thrust into the center of the Cold War when he is given a mission to negotiate the release of Francis Gary Powers, a pilot whose plane was shot down in the Soviet Union.

Principal photography began on September 8, 2014, in Brooklyn, New York City. Touchstone Pictures will release the film in North America on October 16, 2015, and 20th Century Fox will distribute in the remaining territories.

Could be interesting. Could also be absolutely boring, like MUNICH and CATCH ME IF YOU CAN.

The Coens as co-screenwriters is an interesting prospect.

An interesting team up. I'll certainly check this one out.

I haven't seen Alda in anything since 30 Rock.

Sounds interesting…

They also wrote a lot of UNBROKEN, which wasn't terribly impressive in that category. However, I'm guessing they merely did some clean ups and patchwork on it because they're usually superb writers.

Hoping they took on more of a workload for this.

Heh, Eve Hewson is Bono's daughter ... cast because the incident the film is about gave his band their name?

After "The Knick", it's hard not to associate her almost entirely with shooting liquid cocaine up Clive Owen's cock.

It's a living .
