Aaron Paul
A few weeks ago it was announced that Colin Firth had signed on to star in and produce a drone thriller called Eye In The Sky. Now he has some company as it’s been revealed that Helen Mirren and Aaron Paul have signed on too.
The movie is described as a ‘contemporary international thriller set in the shadowy world of remotely piloted “drone” warfare, Mirren will star as Colonel Michelle Madden, a military intelligence officer in command of a top secret drone operation. Paul takes the focal role of American drone pilot Steve Watts.’
Watts is sent in to destroy the safe-house in Nairobi, but he realises that taking it out will also put the life of a nine-year-old-girl at risk. With the volatility of the situation and the possible fallout increasing, Madden passes the mission up the ‘kill chain’ to politicians and lawyers, including the British Foreign secretary (the role it’s believed Firth will take).
Guy Hibbert wrote the script with Ender’s Game’s Gavin Hood set to direct. Production is expected to begin in South Africa on 12th September 2014.
