EON PRODUCTIONS TO EXECUTIVE PRODUCE "THE SILENT STORM"

Michael G Wilson and Barbara Broccoli, heirs of the Bond production throne since 1995's GOLDENEYE, will executive-produce THE SILENT STORM, a love story starring Andrea Risenborough and Damian Lewis.

Written and to be directed by Corinna Villari-McFarlane, the story deals with an outsider girl living on a Scottish island caught between a commanding husband and a 17-year-old delinquent. The shooting is set to start this summer.

“We’re always interested in the potential of other projects whether it’s feature film, documentary or theatre, it just so happens we’ve been focusing more on theatre recently with the musical Once on Broadway and now in London," said the producers duo.

This is the first cinematic production EON Production will produce after forty-five years, when the duo, then formed by Harry Saltzman and Albert R Broccoli, took the producing helm for CHITTY CHITTY BANG BANG, starring Dick Van Dyke and adapted by Bond scribe Richard Maibaum from a Ian Fleming novel for children.
