Rami Malek Set to Star in the Thriller AMATEUR From SLOW HORSES Director James Hawes

Rami Malek has signed on to star in a big studio film project titled Amateur. The movie is set up at 20th Century Studios, and it will be directed by James Hawes, who had helmed the hit Apple series Slow Horses. These are two strong talents, so this film project is in good hands, and it’s going to tell an intense and thrilling story.

The story follows “a CIA cryptographer who, after his wife is tragically killed in a London terrorist attack, demands his bosses go after them. When it becomes clear they won’t act due to conflicting internal priorities, he blackmails the agency into training him and letting him go after them himself.”

The script for the film was written by Gary Spinelli, and it sounds like the kind of thrilling revenge story I’d enjoy. This also seems like a perfect project for bother Malek and Hawes to be involved with.

Malek recently wrapped production on the Christopher Nolan thriller Oppenheimer, and he’s been looking at several film projects for the next thing that he does, and there’s a good chance that Amature will be it. He was also recently set to star in the Buster Keaton limited series for Warner Bros TV.
