Filming, to run from August 14 to September 22, will start in Toronto, then move to locations in Budapest and Puerto Rico, trade journal Production Weekly reported.
?The Company? is ?a panoramic fictional treatment of the U.S. intelligence community from the dawn of the Cold War to the fall of the Soviet Union. It weaves real-life characters such as Kim Philby, Allen Dulles, James Jesus Angleton and John F. Kennedy into a story involving a group of CIA operatives and their counterparts in the KGB, MI6 and the Mossad,? Production Weekly writes.
The series was originally planned for the big screen, but its makers later decided the story would be better rendered for television because of its scope.
Ridley Scott, Tony Scott, John Calle and Cary Brokaw will executive produce, and the film will be directed by Mikael Salomon, twice nominated for an Academy Award and the diretor of HBO?s miniseries ?Rome?. Ken Nolan has written the script.
?The Company? will be broadcast on TNT in the summer of 2007.
Ridley Scott?s newest film, ?A Good Year?, starring Russell Crowe, will open in theatres in November.
