Following on from the picture exclusive we smuggled out in April last year, the first teaser trailer for the cinematic version of BBC spy series Spooks, The Greater Good, has now hit the Interwebs. Take a look here.
Spooks: The Greater Good broadens the canvas for the show, and investigates what happens when terrorist Adam Qasim (Elyes Gabel) slips through the fingers of MI5 and vanishes. Embattled espionage boss Harry Pearce (Peter Firth) takes the fall for the foul up and soon goes missing himself. Enter Game Of Thrones’ Kit Harington as Will Crombie, a former member of Harry’s team, who must investigate what really happened to Harry, last seen jumping from a bridge into the Thames.
With MI5 and its agents plunged into one of the thorniest missions they’ve ever had to face, the clock is ticking as events spiral out of control. With several juicy current headlines to pick from, the film appears to opt for even more of the intensity that was the show’s stock in trade.
With Bharat Nalluri on directing duty and Tuppence Middleton, Jennifer Ehle and show veteran Tim McInnerny in front of the camera, Spooks: The Greater Good is out on May 8.
