Mark Kilian and Paul Hepker are reteaming with director Gavin Hood on the upcoming political thriller Official Secrets. The film is co-written and directed by Hood and stars Keira Knightley, Matt Smith, Ralph Fiennes, Matthew Goode, Indira Varma, Conleth Hill, Tamsin Greig, Adam Bakri, Myanna Buring and John Hefferman. The movie tells the true story of British Intelligence whistle-blower Katharine Gun who, during the immediate run-up to the 2003 Iraq invasion, leaked a top-secret NSA memo exposing a joint U.S.-U.K. illegal spying operation against members of the UN Security Council. Ged Doherty (Loving) is producing the Entertainment One (eOne) production with Elizabeth Fowler (Devil’s Knot) and Melissa Shiyu Zuo. Kilian and Hepker have previously co-scored most of Hood’s features, including the Academy Award-winning drama Tsotsi, Rendition and Eye in the Sky. Official Secrets is currently in post-production and is expected to be released in 2019.
