All-star cast in big screen espionage action
CEBU, Philippines — From the twisted mind of Matthew Vaughn (Kingsman franchise, Kick-Ass) comes “Argylle”, a razor-witted, reality-bending, globe-encircling spy thriller.
The film’s recent trailer drop revealed the all-star cast in a series of slick, fun, big action scenes while introducing new characters including a mysterious cat that’s about to put a whole new spin on the spy genre.
Bryce Dallas Howard (Jurassic World franchise) is Elly Conway, the reclusive author of a series of best-selling espionage novels, whose idea of bliss is a night at home with her computer and her cat, Alfie. But when the plots of Elly’s fictional books – which center on secret agent Argylle and his mission to unravel a global spy syndicate – begin to mirror the covert actions of a real-life spy organization, quiet evenings at home become a thing of the past.
Accompanied by Aiden (Oscar® winner Sam Rockwell), a cat-allergic spy, Elly (carrying Alfie in her backpack) races across the world to stay one step ahead of the killers as the line between Elly’s fictional world and her real one begins to blur.
The top-flight ensemble cast features Henry Cavill (The Witcher), John Cena (Fast X), Oscar® winner Ariana DeBose (West Side Story), Grammy winning pop superstar Dua Lipa (Barbie), Emmy winner and Oscar® nominee Bryan Cranston (Breaking Bad), Emmy winner and comedy icon Catherine O’Hara (Schitt’s Creek), Sofia Boutella (Kingsman: The Secret Service), and the legendary Samuel L. Jackson. Alfie is played by Chip, the real-life cat of supermodel Claudia Vaughn (née Schiffer).
“Argylle” is directed and produced by Matthew Vaughn, from a screenplay by Jason Fuchs (Wonder Woman). An Apple Original Films presentation, in association with MARV, a Cloudy production and Universal Pictures, “Argylle” will open January 31 in Philippine cinemas. — (FREEMAN)
