Ciaran Hinds, Tom Wilkinson and Jessica Chastain are in John Madden’s Debt. Well, The Debt, to be precise, given that the trio have signed on to join Madden’s thriller, which stars Helen Mirren as an ex-Mossad agent who is forced to hunt down a Nazi target thirty years after he was supposedly killed.
Chastain, a relative newcomer who recently completed a role in Terrence Malick’s Tree Of Life, will play the younger version of Mirren’s character, Rachel Singer, who is one of three Mossad agents who hunt down the Nazi in the 1960s.
Hinds and Wilkinson, those excellent character actors, will play Mossad agents, joining a fine cast that already includes so-hot-right-now Sam Worthington, Marton Csokas, Jesper Christensen (Mr. White in the new Bond films), and Romi Aboulafia.
The film – written by Matthew Vaughn, Jane Goldman and Peter Straughan; and produced by Vaughn, Kris Thykier and Eduardo Rossoff – recently began filming in London, and will soon move to Budapest and Tel Aviv.
