Laurence Fishburne Join Thandie Newton to Star in All the Old Knives

all the old knives
Laurence Fishburne is set to star opposite Thandie Newton in ‘All The Old Knives.’ Chris Pine and Jonathan Pryce are also attached to the project for Amazon Studios.

Directed by Janus Metz, the story is set in the town of Carmel-by-the-Sea and follows ex-lovers — one a CIA spy, one an ex-spy — meet over dinner to reminisce on their time together at Vienna station. The conversation moves inevitably to the disastrous hijacking of Royal Jordanian Flight 127, which ended in the deaths of all on board. That failure haunts the CIA to this day, and Henry has come to Carmel to close the book on that seedy chapter. As they parry, flirting, over California cuisine, it becomes clear that one of them is not going to survive the meal.

The film is based on the acclaimed novel of the same name by Olen Steinhauer, who also adapted the screenplay.
