Jim Caviezel is matching wits with Samuel L. Jackson in Blown, an espionage thriller from director Martha Fiennes. Hmm, so it's the former Jesus Christ against the former Jedi Master Mace Windu - it's a battle of the religious icons!
This time, however, Caviezel plays a crack MI5 operative who discovers evidence of an imminent terrorist attack on London while engaged in a routine investigation of a global corporation. Jackson will play businessman Julian Lezard, who engages the spy in a "high-stakes game of wit and deception". Well, with a name like "Lezard" he was never going to be a good guy, was he?*
Fiennes, who last directed Chromophobia, is in the director's chair and also producing, while her husband George Tiffin wrote the script. This puts her other planned project, Mata Hari, presumably on the back burner until this one is complete.
*Apologies to any doctors / missionaries / charity workers out there called Lezard - but you know you have deep-seated inclinations towards megalomania really...
