PAGE EIGHT teaser trailer
“People get killed in the middle of the road.”
The Toronto International Film Festival announced that Page Eight would be its closing night film yesterday. Today, we have the first teaser trailer for the political thriller directed by David Hare. Hare most recently wrote the screenplay for The Reader, which gave Kate Winslet her first Oscar.
Synopsis:
Johnny Worricker (Bill Nighy) is a long-serving M15 officer. His boss and best friend Benedict Baron (Michael Gambon) dies suddenly, leaving behind him an inexplicable file, threatening the stability of the organization. Meanwhile, a seemingly chance encounter with Johnny’s striking next-door neighbour and political activist Nancy Pierpan (Rachel Weisz) seems too good to be true. Johnny is forced to walk out of his job, and then out of his identity to find out the truth. Set in London and Cambridge, Page Eight is a contemporary spy film for the BBC, which addresses intelligence issues and moral dilemmas peculiar to the new century.
Page Eight, directed by David Hare and starring Bill Nighy, Michael Gambon and Rachel Weisz, will have its international premiere at the Tornoto Film Festival.
