The World War II espionage action-adventure film "Fortitude" started filming on September 8 in London. The film is directed by Simon West ("Con Air", "Tomb Raider") and it has rounded up an impressive cast that includes Matthew Goode ("The Imitation Game"), Ed Skrein ("Jurassic World: Rebirth"), Jordi Mollà ("Mobland"), Alice Eve ("Star Trek Into Darkness"), Michael Sheen ("Frost/Nixon"), Art Malik ("True Lies"), Lukas Haas ("Inception"), Adrian Topol ("Franz + Polina"), Emilio Sakraya ("Sixty Minutes"), Paul Anderson ("Peaky Blinders"), Ben Kingsley ("Gandhi") and Nicolas Cage ("Con Air").
The movie is based on the true story of British Intelligence operatives using unprecedented strategic operations to fool Nazi leadership and help change the course of World War II. With historical consultation from Joshua Levine ("Dunkirk"), the film follows the brilliance of British Army officers Dudley Clarke and Thomas Argyll "Tar" Robertson, who deployed an elaborate web of deception campaigns including fictitious armies, fake military equipment and a network of double agents to mislead Nazi Intelligence. Among them was Yugoslavian playboy Dusko Popov, a real-life double agent who is said to have inspired Ian Fleming's James Bond character.
Simon Afram ("Lear Rex") wrote the script and is also producing alongside Georgette Turner, Reza Roohi ("ATL Hustle"), and Edward Kahl ("Queen of Manhattan"). Executive producers include Bianca Goodloe and David Scaramanga. Casting is by Rich Mento, CSA. Goodloe Law is legal counsel and the production company of record is listed as Op-Fortitude Ltd.
Producer Simon Afram had this to say about the project: "We are excited to bring together such a remarkable ensemble. Their chemistry and depth, paired with West's direction, elevate this story into something truly gripping and unforgettable."
