A Most Wanted Man Discussion Thread

Cast
Rachel McAdams ... As Annabel Richter
Philip Seymour Hoffman ... As Gunther Bachmann

Robin Wright & Willem Dafoe are rumored to be in talks to join the movie

Official Plot
A Most Wanted Man takes place in present day Hamburg, Germany where a mysterious, tortured and near-dead half-Chechen, half-Russian man on the run arrives in the city’s Islamic community desperate for help and looking to recover his late Russian father’s ill-gotten fortune. Nothing about this young man seems to add up; is he a victim or a thief or, worse still, an extremist intent on destruction? Drawn into this web of intrigue is a private British banker and a young female lawyer determined to defend the defenseless. All the while, they are being watched by the brilliant, roguish chief of a covert German spy unit (Hoffman), who fights to put the pieces together as the clock ticks.

Production Notes

The movie is directed by Anton Corbijn and the screenplay is written by Andrew Bovell and it's adapted from John le Carré's novel. The production is expected to start in September in Hamburg.

Thanks for all the news and links Jord

I am getting more excited for this. I wonder if it's already been sold at Berlinale.

Jord-Temp · 02-19-2013, 06:46 AM

No problem

I hope they have sold it.
Cannes is great but, I hope it does not preimere there, I think lydia mentioned somethink about this in the "this or that thread" because usually people forget about them

Andstuff · 02-19-2013, 07:50 AM

Ugh like Marion in Rust & Bone

Haha thanks for the tweet.

winterbird · 02-22-2013, 03:02 PM

Also a possibility, Cannes followed by TIFF in September with a limited release in the fall as well

But if it's not sold (yet) at Berlinale then I assume it will hit the Cannes market.

Came across this article, I assume they are talking about Le Carré having a role in AMWM and not Grönemeyer right?

[...] as well as the soundtrack and film score for Anton Corbijn's "The American" starring George Clooney. He's currently working on the music for Anton Corbijn's new movie, John LeCarre's "A Most Wanted Man" and he has a small role in it starring Philip Seymour Hoffman, Rachel McAdams, Nina Hoss, Robin Wright and Willem Dafoe.

Thanks for the article, Lindsey

I think they are talking about Grönemeyer's role. Here is a on set pic of him, he is with Nina & PSH.
I am sure that I read somewhere, that them giving him the role was a last minute decision.

Here is more info on Le Carre's role, found in a previous post.

The film adaptation of my novel, A Most Wanted Man, starring Philip Seymour Hoffman, will open in the UK and the US a year from now and, as in the film of Tinker, Tailor, Soldier, Spy, I shall be playing a cameo part with the aid of a beard that I have grown specially, and shall have removed by expert hands.
I have always suspected beards.

The source link is not working anymore.

Andstuff · 02-23-2013, 10:24 AM

Thanks for the news guys. I wonder which character did Grönemeyer portray.

Jord-Temp · 02-25-2013, 02:18 PM

No problem, Lydia

It will definitely be interesting, to see who he does play.

I did more searching around for AMWM, and came across some new links.

The last paragraph is intresting, regarding information on the production of the film. So by the looks of this article Post Production will be completed in July 2013.

On the website there is two images, One looks like a poster just of the text, maybe that could be the font styling & colour
they may use for the main title when the film releases?
The last one confirmes releasing in late 2013. "In theaters end of 2013"

Andstuff · 02-25-2013, 02:49 PM

LOL that font and color look like an ice cream cone. Thanks for all the news, Jord.
