THE CALIPHATE spy action-thriller
After infiltrating the world’s most dangerous terrorist network, a CIA agent realises he’s been used by the network to facilitate what will be the most unique and devastating act of terrorism in history.
Production Budget: £50M
Locations: London/Washington DC/Paris/Dubai/Morocco
Principal Photography: 2022
Executive Producer: Studio Motion Picture/TBD*
Cast: TBD
Commercial Credence:
With the spy-action genre, never-seen-before content & ideas, set in a visually brilliant, energy-stunted, post-oil future, and a well-constructed, clever story lead by deep characters pulling each other in morally ambiguous directions, it will be an exciting commercial smash and cinematic great. This is seen below from the similar genre titles.
It's CHARACTER DRIVEN, where female lead, ANDI (British MI6 spy) pulls male lead, JOHN (CIA spy) in a pragmatic but cynical direction and the mole John runs as a double agent in a terrorist cell (MOHIB, also John’s only friend) pulls him in an idealistic but perhaps deceptive one; it challenges their limits of basic human needs, where trust, friendship and love are all a weakness in the spy-world.

Inside the Industry:
-
Golden Globe winner & multi-Oscar nominated Ross Katz (director/producer): "Exceptional!"
-
The Blacklist “a tear-jerker for sure! ...the type of script to get Hollywood executives and financiers interested.”
-
Distributors, Ascot Elite gave it a “Strong Recommend on script alone.”
-
Manuel Puro (cast Kevin Spacy and Sam Rockwell) said “A-list stars would love these roles; the script everyone is looking for!”
-
Director at Lionsgate, “priceless!”
Commercial Credence:
The sub-genre of uplifting love with a tragic element has always brought a more commercial gain and memorable legacy versus straight romances or the traditional ‘romcoms’.
As per the industry responses to the LOVE+1 script, above, the apparent humour and obvious tragedy place this in a comparable bracket with the films below to earn large box office gross’ and then continual profit from DVD releases, VOD and regular TV play every Christmas.

In talks with Broadcasters
The UK's four contrasting intelligence agencies (MI5, MI6, GCHQ & Defence Intelligence) set up a task force in a covert residential HQ to save London from imminent destruction...
...a dysfunctional family of four spies, with three weeks, one mole and zero ethics.
This will then export to the US, not as a remake but as a 'parallel operation' with potential cross-over, where the US mirror organisations (CIA, FBI, NSA & DIA) similarly operate in Washington DC.
