AMC brings together two heavyweights Hugh Laurie and Tom Hiddleston in a mini-series project in "The Night Manager"!
Following the success of "The Walking Dead", AMC again has its hands full as plans for another projected high-hitter comes. "The Night Manager" will not only have a splendid plotline, but also will house outstanding actors. Hugh Laurie and Tom Hiddleston headline the show.
According to Screenrant, "The Night Manager" is "a contemporary interpretation of le Carré's espionage drama, [it] will bring together love, loss and revenge in a complex story of modern criminality. The series follows former British soldier Jonathan Pine (Hiddleston) as he navigates the shadowy recesses of Whitehall and Washington where an unholy alliance operates between the intelligence community and the secret arms trade. To infiltrate the inner circle of lethal arms dealer Richard Onslow Roper (Laurie), Pine must himself become a criminal."
Hugh Laurie is known for his work in the American TV series "House, M.D." in which he played the title role Gregory House. He is also an accomplished theater actor, with numerous plays under his belt.
Tom Hiddleston on this other hand is known for playing Loki in the Marvel Universe films beginning with "Thor" in 2011. He is also set to star in the upcoming Guillermo del Toro gothic film "Crimson Peak" coming this October.
"The Night Manager" will be first time these two superb actors work together. BBC's Ben Stephenson talks about the upcoming mini-series. He said, "It's a fantastic coup to bring le Carré back to our screens after more than 20 years. He is quite simply one of the greatest novelists of our time, and I am sure that with AMC, Tom Hiddleston and Hugh Laurie on board, this will be one of the BBC's most unique, ambitious and unmissable dramas".
Both Hugh Laurie and Tom Hiddleston are excited for the upcoming project. Stay tuned for more news and details here!
