Ruth Wilson si Andrew Scott vor juca rolurile principale in Oslo, un nou film HBO bazat pe piesa de teatru scrisa de J.T. Rogers, castigatoare a Premiului Tony.
Rogers va scrie scenariul filmului, iar Bartlett Sher (South Pacific) il va regiza. Steven Spielberg este producatorul executiv, via DreamWorks Pictures, alaturi de Marc Platt, Kristie Macosko Krieger si David Litvak de la Bold Films.
Oslo spune povestea adevarata a negocierilor secrete, prieteniilor neasteptate si a actelor necunoscute, dar pline de eroism, ale unui grup format din israelieni, palestinieni si un cuplu norvegian, care au dus la semnarea Acordurilor de la Oslo, in 1993.
Wilson (The Affair) va fi Mona Juul, Ministrul de Externe al Norvegiei, iar Scott (Fleabag) il va interpreta pe sotul acesteia, sociologul Terje Rød-Larsen. Din distributia filmului fac parte si Salim Dau (Fauda), Waleed Zuaiter (Ramy), Jeff Wilbusch (Unorthodox), Igal Naor (Fauda), Dov Glickman (Stockholm), Rotem Kainan (Fauda), Itzik Cohen (Fauda), Tobias Zilliacus (Thicker Than Water) si Sasson Gabai (Stockholm).
“In collaboration with Steven, Kristie, Marc, and Bold Films, we’re delighted to work with J.T. and Bartlett to adapt their inspiring Tony Award-winning story for the screen. Recounting the remarkable feat of two diametrically opposed sides coming together to find common ground, Oslo’s themes are especially pertinent, and we couldn’t be more pleased to have so many revered artisans on both sides of the camera working together to bring this to life,” a declarat Tara Grace, Senior VP al HBO Programming & Films.
