Viaplay laver serie med Brendan Fraser
Viaplay laver serie med Brendan Fraser. The Professionals skulle være titlen på serien, som skulle blive på 10 episoder og løseligt baseret på action filmen Soldiers of Fortune med Christian Slater.
Af øvrige skuespillernavne nævnes Smallville’s Tom Welling, Wonder Woman’s Elena Anaya, John Wick 3’s Saïd Taghmaoui, Inglourious Basterds’ Ken Duken, Force Majeure’s Lisa Loven Kongsli og Das Boot’s August Wittgenstein.
Optagelserne er netop startet i Sydafrika og Irland og serien skal i Tyskland vises på RTL II.
Her lidt omkring handlingen på engelsk: The Professionals is set against a backdrop of international espionage and corporate sabotage in the 21st century’s privately-funded space race and follow Welling as a hardened former counterintelligence officer Captain Vincent Corbo. After their advanced medical satellite explodes on deployment, billionaire futurist Peter Swann, played by Fraser, and his fiancée, medical visionary Dr. Graciela “Grace” Davila, played by Anaya, turn to Corbo. Corbo assembles a team of experienced professionals to investigate the incident. They learn that any combination of Swann’s business rivals, corrupt governments officials, and a shadowy crime syndicate could be behind the attack and represent a continued threat. Duken plays a Europol agent seeking to thwart the security team’s efforts.
