Bond News - 19-05-13

James Bond producers Barbara Broccoli and Michael G. Wilson will executive-produce and finance a love story starring Andrea Riseborough and Damian Lewis, due to get underway this summer, according to a report by Screen Daily

Corinna Villari-McFarlane has written and will direct "The Silent Storm", a feature about an enigmatic outsider, played by Riseborough, living on a remote Scottish island who is caught between her commanding husband (Lewis) and a 17 year-old delinquent. Principal photography is due to get underway this summer in Scotland.

�It is very exciting to me to be working with Corinna, a director who has a fresh female voice and a strong creative vision�, said Broccoli, whose EON makes a rare foray into a non-Bond production. �Her inspiring script has attracted two of Britain�s most talented actors and we believe that she will make a powerful film�

On the question of whether Eon would be looking to produce more non-Bond features in the near-future, the outfit told Screen: �We�re always interested in the potential of other projects whether it�s feature film, documentary or theatre, it just so happens we�ve been focusing more on theatre recently with the musical Once on Broadway and now in London.

�The timing on The Silent Storm has worked out well for us, we�re always excited to discover fresh British talent, Corinna is a really inspiring young female director with an incredible vision and her superb script has so far been attracting a fantastic British cast and crew.�
