Armie Hammer Reunites with His 'the Man from U.N.C.L.E' Costar Alicia Vikander for 'Freakshift'
The upcoming action-thriller follows a band of misfit cops who hunt down and kill nocturnal underground monsters.
While there is no official word that we'll be seeing a sequel to 2015's #TheManFromUNCLE anytime soon - although we have been majorly teased - two of its stars are reuniting for an upcoming action-thriller directed by his #FreeFire director!
The ridiculously gorgeous and talented #ArmieHammer is set to star alongside equally gorgeous and talented #AliciaVikander for #Freakshift. The upcoming action-thriller follows a band of misfit cops who hunt down and kill nocturnal underground monsters. Vikander is the lead female protagonist with Hammer portraying her love interest and production is set to begin in August. If their chemistry in UNCLE is any indication, we are in for some brilliant sequences that radiate charisma with these two actors.

Not only will Hammer reunite with Vikander for Freakshift, his Free Fire director #BenWheatley is set to direct the upcoming flick. Wheatley also wrote the script for Freakshift with Amy Jump and his longtime producer Andrew Starke produces via their Rook Films banner.

The Pearl by John Steinbeck
‘The Pearl’ is a well-known by under-read classic and, as a teacher, many of my students have absolutely loved it. Not just because it is short, but because it presents a storyline that is interesting and corrupting. Easy to read and easier to analyse, ‘The Pearl’ is one of Steinbeck’s hardest hitting classics with an underlying message about protecting what is actually important. By the end of the book, the reader is left defeated and believing in the wrong thing. The idealism around this book is incredible and it is so dark too. For a long while you are supporting the wrong people, thinking in the wrong way and the whole story becomes one long act of misdirection by Steinbeck to show in a ‘Monkey’s Paw’ fashion why we should never chase wealth and status.

The Search for the MacGuffin
"The MacGuffin is the thing that the spies are after, but the audience doesn't care." (Alfred Hitchcock). Here I am again, sitting in front of my typewriter. I have a sharp suit and seamed stockings. I have a cigarette permanently at one side of my mouth and I drink whisky with my black coffee for lunch. I’ve got to keep up with the boys in the writing room.
