The novel is an espionage thriller and cross-culture satire about the struggles of a half-French, half-Vietnamese communist spy during the final days of the Vietnam War and his resulting exile in the United States. A worldwide search is underway for the lead role and the rest of the predominantly Vietnamese ensemble.
The book, called a “blistering examination of identity and America,” is regarded as a new classic of war fiction and has been compared to works by Kafka, Orwell, and le Carre.
Execs now will look to cast the title character, who will co-star opposite Downey.
The series is a co-production between HBO, A24, and Rhombus Media in conjunction with Cinetic Media and Moho Film. It will be directed by Park Chan-wook, the filmmaker of the film Oldboy. McKellar will also serve as showrunner alongside Don Downey, Susan Downey, and Amanda Burrell for Team Downey. Kim Ly will executive produce through Rhombus Media, while Niv Fichman exec produces through Rhombus Media. In association with Cinetic Media and Moho Film, HBO, A24, and Rhombus Media collaborated on the project.
It is the first project Robert Downey has taken on since he wrapped up his role as Tony Stark/Iron Man, and since he’s an Oscar nominee, he’s been quite selective. (He started filming for 2020’s Dolittlebefore Avengers: Endgame came out.) Several enticing offers are on the table. Sources say what made this role irresistible was the chance to display his versatility as an actor. According to insiders, he is tapped for multiple supporting roles as the main antagonist, representing a different segment of American society, including an ambitious Orange County congressman, CIA agent, and Hollywood film director.
