'Spooks' the movie to shoot next year

ixoy

Just back and am happy. We got lots of Harry and - importantly - Harry looking into the distance, his head heavy with thoughts which is a *must*.

Anyone else do a silent cheer when Malcolm did his cameo in the café?

Loved the focus on Harry's tough choices.

Anyone else think that they're over playing Ruth's long game? I mean I know she's obviously not dead, could never be, so I'm assuming it's another cover like with Roz. I'm surprised they didn't do the reveal at the end and show her meeting Harry. Must be saving it for the sequel, set in the Nile.

I had honestly forgotten Ruth's situation and it a took a while to click in my head whilst watching this. She died in last series and her name is on a memorial wall somewhere, right?

I'm drawing a blank

I honestly think that Ruth is dead. I wish she wasn't but I don't see how she could have survived. Her name is on the wall at Thames House.
I did squeal a little when I saw Malcolm. I love him. As quick witted as ever

I have an issue with the guy playing the baddie. Wasn't he in Spooks the series? as a tech. or am I dreaming?

West Wing - Yo Yo Ma...:cool:

Ruth is dead.:(

As much as I would have loved to see Tom and all other living agents from the 10 seasons to make cameos Spook has and always really will be about Harry.


I'm glad it got a cinema release and I hope it makes money as if it does I am sure they will make another one in a few years.

If one thing comes this I hope we get to see more of Peter Firth on our big and small screens for many more years to come.

Yeah but Ros also died and came back. And then died properly...

Malcolm and Harry are the only two Spooks to survive the bloodbath that is the series in general.

Agent Coulson

The one Spook I did think might turn up was Zoe.

Mace is still alive. Unfortunately.

Elyes Gabel also plays Walter O'Brien in Scorpion - maybe that's where you recognise him from. Arguably better at playing a terrorist than a love-sick Irish genius.

Saw Spooks last night and loved it. Enjoyable from start to finish, and I especially loved the little epilogue (

I'd use the last 2 hours to go play with your lovely niece

).

Any word on box office? Second to Avengers, which is no small achievement, really.

Last week I saw £3m worldwide.

I'd say they will be happy enough with that.

Maybe enough to bring it back?!!??!?

I'd say so even if it's just for tv.

I shows people still want more Spooks and Harry.

One film every 2/3 years would be great

SarahBM

I live in hope!

The Black Oil

That's pretty decent for a British domestic production - I was expecting somewhere sub 5 million in the first few weeks.

Think of the sheer scale of marketing and costs that'd be required to promote a 24 film, in contrast.

Agent Coulson

I'm not sure how many markets it's opened in and it may go VoD in others.

I'm sure they will make a profit.

K-9

Loved it, well that was a given. The reviews didn't seem to get the crashing out of a window in Moscow thing, normal perfectly understandable Spooks stuff!

Needed more Malcolm!

SarahBM

Oh my heart just lept when I saw him!

The Black Oil

Malcolm is a good contrast to the many 20 something computer know it all bores that are depicted in US shows.

Malcolm is like the grand master! the original!

The Black Oil

Empire's 'History of Spooks' is well worth reading.

The Black Oil

$4.7 million box office assuming Wiki is accurate. That's pretty decent for a small scale British film.

SarahBM

any one know when the DVD will be out?

Mr E

September 28th, according to Amazon.

SarahBM

Thanks

Did you see it, Mr E?

Mr E

Yeah, loved it.

I'd love the TV show to come back. I'd even settle for another series of Code 9.

Never saw that. what's it about?

Mr E

Spooks with new recruits. Came out on 2008 for a 6 episode season and ended on a massive cliffhanger. Not bad, but not brilliant.

Agent Coulson

It aired on BBC 3

The Black Oil

Critically slated at the time, iirc.

The Black Oil

I reckon I could have a go at Spooks script. :P
