Official Secrets to film UK next year
A feature film about the build-up to the 2003 Iraq war is gearing up for production in the UK next year, after a hiatus which saw the project change hands.
Raindog Films - run by Colin Firth and Ged Doherty – is overseeing production of Official Secrets alongside one of the original LA-based producers.
Gavin Hood, director of Eye in the Sky, which was also for Raindog, is at the helm.
