Damien Lewis

Damian Lewis is set to star in new movie Our Kind of Traitor.

Ewan McGregor, Stellan Skarsgard and Naomie Harris are already on board the latest adaptation of a John le Carré novel, and now The Hollywood Reporter have revealed that Lewis will also star.

The British actor will play a member of the British Secret Service in the film.

The movie is based on the novel of the same name, and follows an English couple who are on holiday in the Caribbean island of Antigua, who become entangled in the dealings of a Russian mobster.

Susanna White is in the director's chair for the film, while Hossein Amini has adapted the book into a screenplay.

Film4, Ink Factory, STUDIOCANAL and Potboiler Productions are behind the film, which is set to start shooting in London later this month.

We haven't seen Lewis on the big screen since Romeo and Juliet last year. However, he has already completed work on The Silent Storm and Queen of the Desert.

He also has another TV project in the pipeline, in the form of To Appomattox. Released next year, the series will follow the emotional lives of America's Civil War generals and their families.
