Matthew Vaughn Directing Another Action Spy Thriller with Samuel L. Jackson, Bryce Dallas Howard, and Sam Rockwell
Kingsman franchise director Matthew Vaughn isn’t jumping out of the action spy genre anytime soon. Not only does he have multiple Kingsman movies planned, but he’s also set to direct another action spy movie, and he’s putting together a great ensemble cast.
Vaughn will write and direct the film, which tells a story about “a best-selling spy novelist who turns out to be a world-class spy suffering from amnesia. When her past comes back to haunt her, so does her memory in this global espionage thriller.”
As far as the cast goes, Bryce Dallas Howard is in talks to take on the lead role. It’s explained the character she’ll play is “tricked into thinking she’s a writer, her lethal skills return with her memories, setting her down a path of revenge against the shadowy organization she used to work for, the Division.”
Sam Rockwell is also looking to join the film as “a former Division agent and our heroine’s love interest,” and Samuel L. Jackson is in talks to play “a rogue agent dedicated to exposing the corruption within the clandestine spy network.”
If Jackson is cast it will be a reunion with Vaughn who previously directed him in 2014’s Kingsman: The Secret Service. It’s said that other big-name actors are in talks to join the project as well. But, so far, it’s a fun cast!
