Doug Liman, the director behind Mr. & Mrs. Smith, The Bourne Identity, and Fair Game, knows a thing or two about spy games. He returns to the world of espionage with Star One, which Variety says will star Miles Teller and Oscar winner Eddie Redmayne.
Directed by Liman from a script by David Coggeshall, Star One centers on two wildly mismatched CIA agents, one dashing and charismatic, the other straight-laced, forced to work together on a top secret mission to deliver arms covertly thousands of miles across enemy territory.
The film is supposedly based on real events, according to the synopsis: “This is the untold true story of the first intelligence star ever awarded for one of the most important yet least known missions in modern history.”
Teller can be seen right now in the Michael Jackson biopic, Michael, and recently in Eternity and The Gorge. Next up for him is a role in James Gray’s Paper Tiger. Redmayne is currently shooting season two of Peacock’s The Day of the Jackal, and will star with Julia Roberts in Panic Carefully.
Liman directed two movies in 2024, Road House and The Instigators. Next for him is the biopic Bitcoin starring Casey Affleck and Pete Davidson.
