David Hare and cast members join us for a discussion following a preview of the final parts of his ripped-from-the-headlines trilogy. It will be presented by BFI Southbank, next March 01 and tickets are on sale.
Following the success of Page Eight (BBC, 2011), BFI Southbank is proud to present two new films, Turks & Caicos (BBC, 2014) and Salting the Battlefield (BBC, 2014) from writer and director David Hare that complete his trilogy about Johnny Worricker, MI5’s most admired intelligence analyst. Turks & Caicos features a stellar cast including Bill Nighy as Worricker, Winona Ryder, Helena Bonham Carter, Ralph Fiennes and Christopher Walken. Worricker is hiding out from his work at MI5 on the tax-exile islands, but an encounter with a CIA agent forces him into the company of some ambiguous American businessmen. The third part Salting the Battlefield sees Worricker and Margot Tyrrell (Bonham-Carter) on the run together across Europe. Worricker knows his only chance of resolving his problems is to return home and confront his nemesis – the UK Prime Minister Alec Beasley (Fiennes). We hope to welcome David Hare and cast members for a panel discussion on 1 March after the screenings. Please check the BFI website for final confirmations.
