Hugh Jackman may play The Good Spy for director Baltasar Kormakur

May 31, 2018 by Gary Collinson

Hugh Jackman and director Baltasar Kormakur (Adrift) are said to be eyeing The Good Spy, which would see Jackman portraying Robert Ames, a CIA operative who pushed for breaking down barriers in the Middle East, and was killed during the 1983 American Embassy bombing in Beirut.

The project, scripted by F. Scott Frazier and based upon Kai Bird’s New York Times bestselling biography The Good Spy: The Life and Death of Robert Ames, was originally set up in 2014 and is being produced by Laurie MacDonald and Walter Parkers of Parkes+MacDonald Image Nation. Jackman and Kormakur are said to be waiting on a rewrite to come in before deciding whether to commit to the project.

Everest and Contraband director Kormakur’s new film Adrift opens in the U.S. this Friday, while Jackman’s upcoming projects include the Gary Hart biopic The Front Runner, LAIKA’s Missing Link, and drama Bad Education.
