Cookson Lands The Secret Service Gig

Sophie Cookson ("Moonfleet") has scored the female lead in "The Secret Service" for Fox says Variety.


Created by Mark Millar and Dave Gibbons--the comic book follows a seasoned Secret Service agent (Colin Firth) who takes a younger agent  (Taron Egerton) under his wing as they investigate the murder of every resident of a small town and a mysterious secret involving Mount Everest.

Michael Caine has also joined the cast in the role of the head of the Secret Service. Samuel L. Jackson will play the villain.

Matthew Vaughn will call action from an adapted script he wrote with Jane Goldman. The director had considered Emma Watson and Bella Heathcote for the part but chose Cookson who is a fresh face

Production is set to begin this Fall.
