Try as you might, you can never stop the ticking of the clock. Because of this, it has now somehow been eight years since MCU star Tom Hiddleston got the closest he’ll ever get to playing James Bond in this critically acclaimed spy thriller series. Finally, after waiting almost a decade, the show has now taken a major step forward, with a second season now well into production.
The series is titled The Night Manager, and finds Hiddleston starring as Jonathan Pine, the night manager of a luxury hotel in Cairo and former British soldier. Taking pride in running the prestige hotel, Pine finds himself recruited by Angela Burr, the manager of a Foreign Office task force, and instructed to infiltrate the inner circle of arms dealer Richard Roper (Hugh Laurie). Now, Pine finds himself attempting to not only integrate himself into Roper's inner circle by becoming a felon himself,...

It’s been some eight years since the BBC-amc adaptation of John le Carré’s “The Night Manager” took the world by storm, racking up awards on both sides of the pond. The spy thriller, starring Tom Hiddleston and Olivia Colman will be back, this time set mostly in Colombia.
“More than 75% of the story is about Colombia,” says Barry Ryan, head of production at Ink Factory, which also produced Season 1 and will produce Seasons 2 and 3. The fact that there has been a peace process, that there was a conflict and that young soldiers were involved – that background has been used to inform and shape the narrative, he adds.
When series creator-writer David Farr thought about setting Season 2 in Colombia, he flew over with executive producer Tessa Inkelaar, on a “writing recce.” Drawing inspiration from his visit, he wrote all six episodes, completely off-book. In an interview with other outlets,...

Focus Features presents Edgar Wright’s Last Night in Soho, a twisty psycho-thriller with a great soundtrack, as Wes Anderson’s The French Dispatch goes wider, testing the appeal of a director whose films have been called the arthouse equivalent of Marvel.
Last Night, a time-bending genre tale, unspools on just over 3,000 screens — not exactly specialty but it’s from a writer-director who “can dip his toe into anything, a true specialty film, a more commercial film like Baby Driver, and now a psychological thriller that harkens back to Hitchcock, Brian De Palma and David Lynch,” said Focus distribution president Lisa Bunnell. It’s “more than a typical commercial slasher movie. It takes the thriller genre to a new level.”
The film premiered at the Venice Film Festival and screened at TIFF, where it resonated strongly with preview and festival audiences. Deadline’s review “called it a dark and delicious trip.
