Actor Martin Freeman is set to star opposite Diane Kruger in
"The Operative", an international espionage thriller.
The film is written
and is being directed by Yuval Adler.
Freeman will play Thomas, a former
handler to Kruger's character Rachel, recruited by Israeli intelligence agency
Mossad to go undercover in Tehran, reports hollywoodreporter.com.
The
only clue to Rachel's whereabouts is a cryptic phone call she places to Thomas,
who is then summoned from Germany to Israel by Mossad.
BLOOM is handling
international sales on "The Operative", and will launch the project to foreign
buyers in Cannes. Production on the film will start in Israel in June, before
shifting to Bulgaria and Germany.
"The Operative" was adapted from the
Israeli book "The English Teacher", written by former Israeli intelligence
officer Yiftach Reicher Atir and based on real-life stories of Mossad
operatives.
