Premise

Ex-lovers and spies Henry and Celia meet over dinner to reminisce on their time together at Vienna station. The conversation moves to the disastrous hijacking of Royal Jordanian Flight 127, which ended in the deaths of all on board. That failure haunts the CIA to this day, and Henry seeks to close the book on that seedy chapter. Over a sumptuous dinner, it becomes clear that one of them is not going to survive the meal.

Cast

Production

The film was announced in May 2017, with Chris Pine and Michelle Williams in negotiations to star. James Marsh was set to direct, with The Mark Gordon Company and Entertainment One financing.[1]

In September 2020, with Williams, Marsh and The Mark Gordon Company no longer involved in the film, Thandie Newton was cast to replace Williams and Januz Metz was hired to fill the director position.[2] In November 2020, Jonathan Pryce and Laurence Fishburne joined the cast in the film.[3]

Metz revealed filming had begun by December 2020 in London.[4]

  4. Januz Metz on Facebook: I feel so incredibly honored and privileged to announce that the legendary Laurence Fishburne and Jonathan Pryce have joined our brilliant cast for "All the Old Knives". We start shooting in less than two weeks and I can't wait to see what these amazing actors will bring to the screen as "masterspies" in our thrilling maze of a story. I am still pinching my arm that I'll be directing actors that were in movies like "Apocolypse Now". "The Matrix" and "Brazil". We are set for some exciting and intense days here in London
