Rami Malek returns to the world of espionage in The Amateur. Directed by James Hawes, the spy thriller revolves around Charles Heller (Malek), a CIA analyst, who embarks on a revenge-fueled mission seeking justice for his wife’s death after she’s killed during a terrorist attack in London. The film is based on the 1981 novel written by Robert Littell, but Hawes reimagined the storyline to fit modern times with the help of Ken Nolan and Gary Spinelli as the scriptwriters. James Bond franchise fans know that Malek starred in No Time to Die as the bioterrorist Lyutsifer Safin opposite Daniel Craig as the legendary James Bond. In The Amateur, Malek takes the lead, joined by Rachel Brosnahan, Laurence Fishburne, Jon Bernthal, Holt McCallany, and many more.
