With Flight and The Walk, director Robert Zemeckis made a solid return to live-action filmmaking. Will his luck continue with this WWII espionage thriller despite (or because of) the (strongly denied) rumors surrounding the lead actors? Check with us around Thanksgiving. Reportedly based on a true story, the script by Steven Knight (Locke) follows intelligence officer Max Vatan on a deadly mission behind enemy lines, where he meets French Resistance fighter Marianne Beausejour (Marion Cotillard). Following their first encounter, they reunite in London where their happy relationship is threatened when he begins to suspect she is a spy. Jared Harris, Matthew Goode, August Diehl, and Lizzy Caplan round out the cast.
