Based on the novel A Very Private Gentleman by Martin Booth, with a screenplay written by Rowan Joffe (28 Weeks Later). The film focuses on an American assassin abroad. It will be directed by Anton Corbijn, a professional photographer who jumped into film making with his debut film Control. A personal favorite of mine, so I'm really excited to see what Anton can do with this material.
"Alone among assassins, Jack is a master craftsman. When a job in Sweden ends more harshly than expected for this American abroad, he vows to his contact Larry that his next assignment will be his last. Jack reports to the Italian countryside, where he holes up in a small town and relishes being away from death for a spell. The assignment, as specified by a Belgian woman, Mathilde, is in the offing as a weapon is constructed. Surprising himself, Jack seeks out the friendship of local priest Father Benedetto and pursues romance with local woman Clara. But by stepping out of the shadows, Jack may be tempting fate."
The film stars George Clooney (Up In The Air), Thekla Reuten (In Bruges), Violante Placido, Bruce Altman (Matchstick Men) and Paolo Bonacelli.
