I’m looking forward to SALT (watch the trailer) starring Angelina Jolie, directed by Phillip Noyce, there’s a bit of Bourne to it and Jolie is just a remarkable actress to watch. Noyce is going to tackle yet another spy thriller for his next project because Variety said he’s signed on to star in WENCESLAS SQUARE for Endgame entertainment which has fast-tracked the project toward production…
Based on the short story by Arthur Phillips, which is part of the anthology The Wild East (2003). The screnplay is written by Christopher Markus and Stephen McFeely, the writers of the Chronicles Of Narnia movies and the upcoming THE FIRST AVENGER: CAPTAIN AMERICA.
The story is set in Prague during the late Cold War era. It revolves around a young CIA officer and a beautiful Czech spy. Noyce described it as “a gripping story about two young spies intoxicated by the espionage game and their passion for each other.”
According to Wiki, the actual place “Wenceslas Square is one of the main city squares and the centre of the business and cultural communities in the New Town of Prague, Czech Republic. Many historical events occurred there, and it is a traditional setting for demonstrations, celebrations, and other public gatherings. The square is named after Saint Wenceslas, the patron saint of Bohemia. It is part of the historic centre of Prague, a World Heritage Site.”
Phillips’ story takes place in Czechoslovakia at the end of the Cold War.
