Mother Russia (Anna)

Post by thunder » Fri May 13, 2022 8:04 am

Jason will play Anna Politkovskaya's husband in this movie about the Russian journalist who exposed Putin's regime and was murdered. Maxine Peake plays Anna Politovskaya, and Ciarand Hinds is also in it.

It's being poduced by "Good Films/Miriam Segal who also produced "Good" and "The Infiltrator"

This looks so interesting. :D

Made me a bit worried if Jason will be available, but the artlicel says he's still in it... Maybe the Cary Grant series have finished by then? Or maybe Jason isn't in all of this since the husband isn't the lead... :scratch

Wow! That is controversial. The family saw a preliminary script—and maybe—changes may have been made to the final script. :huh

It reminds me of The Curse of Steptoe issues. It had to be reedited after complaints, and then after new complaints, it was banned. :shock: Hope they will fix the issues with this one.
