Benderspink options spy thriller RED STATION

James Bond is not the only spy thriller franchise with  a new film coming theaters. THR reports that Production-management outfit Benderspink has optioned the rights to Red Station, the first book writen by Adrian Magson. The story centers on "an MI5 agent named Harry Tate who takes the fall for a drug bust gone bad. As punishment, he is sent to Red Station, an outpost in Georgia that is the home of washed up operatives. After two other agents go missing, Tate finds himself embroiled in a plot involving a Russian invasion of England and corruption and conspiracy at the highest level of the British government." The first book was published June.

Red Station is being produced by Benderspink, and Jake Weiner and Christopher Cosmos are overseeing the project. A writer is currently being sought to adapt the book. Benderspink is prepping Burt Wonderstone for New Line, and just set up Area 52 at Summit; and is also developing an adaptation of DC comic The Mighty set up at Paramount.

I love spy thrillers and am interested in learning more about it. What are your thoughts?
