Exclusive: After being the lead director on acclaimed shows like ZeroZeroZero and Echo 3, Pablo Trapero is getting his first major studio gig. 20th Century has tapped him to direct a film adaptation of The Tourist. Neal H. Moritz and Toby Jaffe are producing.

Based on the series of books by Olen Steinhauer, the first of which debuted in 2009 and became a New York Times bestseller, the story follows Milo Weaver, an agent in the secret branch of the CIA that specializes in black ops with the code name “The Tourists.” Three sequel novels followed, with Hollywood in hot pursuit; George Clooney at one point was circling the rights.

20th Century now sees this as a potential franchise and fits into Trapero’s wheelhouse with ZeroZeroZero and Echo 3 earning rave reviews for their tense action scenes with special ops scenarios front and center.

Echo 3 is a fast-paced action thriller series with a talented cast, released on Apple TV Plus on November 23, 2022 – but is it worth watching? Set in Colombia, Echo 3 chronicles a black ops mission to rescue a research scientist who has been kidnapped by militants. Echo 3 is based on Omri Givon’s award-winning Israeli series When Heroes Fly, itself adapted from the novel of the same name by Amir Gutfreund.

It's a race against time — and plenty of governmental red tape — to save a loved one in Echo 3. The series revolves around two decorated military special operatives, brothers-in-law Prince and Bambi, who are stopping at nothing to rescue Amber from the grips of a drug cartel down in Colombia, even as dark secrets about the three of them come to the surface.

Luke Evans, Michiel Huisman, and Jessica Ann Collins lead the ensemble cast of Echo 3 alongside Elizabeth Anweis, James Udom, Maria Del Rosario, Bradley Whitford, and Martina Gusmán. Created by two-time Oscar winner Mark Boal, the series is a gripping exploration of why men go to war, the effects it has on their psyches and personal relationships, and how love isn't always as strong as it should be.

Apple's thriller series from The Hurt Locker director Mark Boal Echo 3 is nearing its end. Amber (Jessica Ann Collins) finally reunited with her brother Bambi (Luke Evans) and husband Prince (Michiel Huisman) and was rescued after nine episodes in the custody of rebels. Now, the trio is tasked with escaping the wrath of the Venezuelans and making it back to safety, but the men must grapple with how to handle someone who didn't want to be rescued. Collider can share an exclusive clip from the final episode "Heat" that shows Bambi and Amber having a heart-to-heart regarding her marriage and everything the siblings have been through.

Mark Boal has focused much of his energy as a screenwriter on interpreting the geopolitical dramas of our times in the Middle East and Central Asia. For his new Apple TV+ series “Echo 3,” the two-time Oscar winner who wrote and produced 2008’s “The Hurt Locker” and 2011’s “Zero Dark Thirty” has turned his gaze to the United States’ neighbors to the south.

The drama series, adapted from the 2018 Israeli series “When Heroes Fly,” revolves around a kidnapping of an American research scientist (played by Jessica Ann Collins) near the Colombia-Venezuela border and the rescue effort that ensues, led by her brother (Luke Evans) and new husband (Michiel Huisman) — both of whom work for a U.S. Army elite combat unit, aka special forces. “Echo 3” bowed Nov. 23 with three episodes, followed by weekly installments premiering on Fridays through the Season 1 finale on Jan. 13.

The desperate mission to save Amber (Jessica Ann Collins) continues on Echo 3 Season 1 Episode 6, airing Friday, December 16, on Apple TV+.

TV Fanatic scored an exclusive first look at the pivotal episode, which shows Prince (Michiel Huisman) and Bambi (Luke Evans) plotting their next move.

Unfortunately, they know the net is closing, and their window to save Amber is closing.

They turn their attention to the sibling of someone associated with the people holding Amber captive, forcing them to question how far they will go to save her.

Bambi looks shocked as he hears Prince's thoughts on going after an innocent person if it means they return home with her.

Echo 3 has featured high-octane action since its premiere last month, and thankfully, that doesn't seem to be slowing down in the near future.

In Apple TV+’s “Echo 3,” created by Oscar-winner Mark Boal, Michiel Huisman — of “The Flight Attendant,” “The Haunting of Hill House,” “Game of Thrones” and much more — plays Prince, an elite soldier whose wife, Amber (Jessica Ann Collins), has been kidnapped in Colombia. With her brother, Bambi (Luke Evans), a fellow Special Forces member and Prince’s estranged best friend, he goes on a mission to free her without, he hopes, causing an international incident.

How did the role of Prince come to you?

For a while after “The Flight Attendant,” we were looking for a project that would feel like another step up. This character is very different from anything I’d ever played before. And it would really allow me to flex my acting muscles, so to speak. So I had to fight a bit to land the role.

Why did you have to fight?

Oh my God!

Screen Rant is thrilled to present an exclusive clip from the upcoming fifth episode of the Apple TV+ series Echo 3. Mark Boal the Academy Award-winning writer of The Hurt Locker created and executive produces Echo 3. The Apple TV+ series is based on Amir Gutfreund's novel and the award-winning Israeli television series When Heroes Fly.

Echo 3 follows Amber Chesborough, a scientist who is conducting research on the Venezuela-Colombia border when she is kidnapped by militants. In the wake of her abduction, Amber's brother, Alex Bambi Chesborough and her husband, Prince Haas use their special forces training and contacts to find a way to rescue her. Prince and Bambi will do whatever it takes to rescue Amber, even if that means helping the CIA with a secret war while contending with their own complicated histories.

Mark Boal has been an impressive force for a few years now. His producing and writing credits for Zero Dark Thirty and The Hurt Locker both brought him early acclaim. And now, he brings his talents to the small screen with a new series called Echo 3. The Apple TV Plus series features an impressive cast, one that includes Michiel Huisman, Luke Evans, and Jessica Ann Collins. If you are at all aware of Mr. Boal’s work, you may want to be prepared for a thrilling opening to this 10 episodic drama.

Echo 3, a new series from Zero Dark Thirty‘s Mark Boal, follows the story of the disappearance of Amber Chesborough and her brother and husband’s quest to find her while navigating a secret war.

Jessica Ann Collins, who plays Amber, Michiel Huisman, who plays Prince, and Luke Evans, who plays Bambi, recently sat for a conversation with uInterview founder Erik Meers about the project.

The actors described their research process for the series.

“For myself, I was just focused on sort of making sure I was primed for the moment of performance,” Collins said.

“I think by having [director] Mark [Boal] around though, Mark wouldn’t allow us to do anything without us having a real picture drawn from his experience and his knowledge, so we didn’t really need to know anything until the day we were actually there and preparing for the production,” Evans revealed. “Mark was there and...

If the apparent success of Amazon’s The Terminal List proved anything, it’s that there’s an audience out there for fast-moving militaristic revenge stories with more interest in a steadily escalating body count than anything deeper.

Mark Boal’s new Apple TV+ drama Echo 3 will put to the test whether viewers are willing to stick with their militaristic revenge stories if they come packaged with some nuance and characterization. Based on the Israeli format When Heroes Fly, Echo 3 has all the fetishistic shots of weapons and arbitrarily featured American flags one could ever want, and the body count rises steadily. But those things are accompanied by artier touches, whether it’s blades of grass swaying in the wind, attempts to delve superficially into the political realities of contemporary South America or just action scenes that unfold with a deliberate — right on the edge of “slow” — pace.

Plot: When brilliant scientist Amber Chesborough vanishes along the Colombia-Venezuela border, her brother and her husband—both elite U.S. Army commandos—struggle to find her amid a guerilla war, discovering that the woman they love might have a secret.

Review: Mark Boal has made a career out of telling military stories. From those grounded in true stories (Zero Dark Thirty) to those inspired by reality (The Hurt Locker), Boal has also transitioned to action-oriented blockbusters like Triple Frontier. His latest project is Echo 3, an international espionage thriller full of gritty action and military tactics that attempts to tell a sociopolitical drama full of heavy stuntwork and complicated storytelling. Despite some truly pulse-pounding firefights that rival any of his big-screen efforts, Mark Boal’s characters cannot rise to the same level of complexity as the action sequences. Echo 3 is decent but far from as good as it should, or could, be.

Mark Boal, the writer of Academy Award-winning films The Hurt Locker and Zero Dark Thirty, provides us with a new action thriller from AppleTV+. The new series, Echo 3, stars Luke Evans, Michiel Huisman, Jessica Ann Collins, and James Udom. AppleTV+ has just released the new trailer for the action series, which is set to premiere next month.

The official AppleTV+ synopsis reads,

“Echo 3 is an action-packed thriller set in South America that follows Amber Chesborough (Collins), a brilliant young scientist who is the emotional heart of a small American family. When Amber goes missing along the Colombia-Venezuela border, her brother, Bambi (Evans), and her husband, Prince (Huisman) – two men with deep military experience and complicated pasts – struggle to find her in a layered personal drama, set against the explosive backdrop of a secret war.

"How many lives are you willing to trade for your sister?" Apple has revealed an official trailer for a rescue thriller mini-series titled Echo 3, arriving for streaming this November on Apple TV+. Echo 3 is an "action-packed" series about a brilliant scientist kidnapped in Colombia, and her brother and husband who will stop at nothing to find her and bring her home. When Amber Chesborough goes missing along the Colombia-Venezuela border, these men with extensive military experience struggle to find her against the backdrop of a secret war. Echo 3 features Jessica Ann Collins as Amber, Luke Evans as Bambi (her brother), and Michiel Huisman as Prince (her husband), along with Martina Gusman, James Udom, Maria Del Rosario, Alejandro Furth, Juan Pablo Raba, and special guest star, Bradley Whitford. While this is supposed to be a wholesome, riveting story about saving family members, it's clearly a jingoistic reminder of America's imperialism and military attitude.

Apple TV+ is adding another exciting series to its already impressive line-up.

The streaming service on Tuesday unveiled the trailer for Echo 3, the highly anticipated 10-episode, action-packed thriller from Academy Award-winning creator Mark Boal and starring Luke Evans, Michiel Huisman, and Jessica Ann Collins.

Echo 3 will make its global debut with the first three episodes on Wednesday, November 23, 2022, on Apple TV+, followed by one new episode weekly, every Friday.

Set in South America with English and Spanish dialogue, Echo 3 follows Amber Chesborough (Collins), a brilliant young scientist who is the emotional heart of a small American family.

When Amber goes missing along the Colombia-Venezuela border, her brother, Bambi (Evans), and her husband, Prince (Huisman) – two men with deep military experience and complicated pasts – struggle to find her in a layered personal drama, set against the explosive backdrop of a secret war.

The series also stars Martina Gusmán as “Violeta," a prominent political columnist.

A high-stakes special ops mission — complete with covert raids, fiery explosions and what seems to be an intense game of international political chess — is the subject of Apple TV+’s “Echo 3,” the upcoming action-thriller series from Academy Award-winning creator Mark Boal and which premiered its first trailer on Tuesday.

The 10-episode show stars Luke Evans, Michiel Huisman (“The Flight Attendant”) and Jessica Ann Collins (Netflix’s “Clickbait”).

Technically, “Acapulco” starts at the end. On a sunny, cloudless afternoon in Southern California, Maximo Gallardo (Eugenio Derbez) takes in his view of the Pacific from a sprawling estate. On a day off from his life as a financial mogul, Maximo welcomes his nephew Hugo (Raphael Alejandro) for a relaxing kickback.
