Stephen Templin | FROM RUSSIA WITHOUT LOVE: Movie Production
Who could star in and produce FROM RUSSIA WITHOUT LOVE as a film? For fun, here are some of
my choices:
Matt Damon: Chris Paladin (aka Reverend). I think Matt Damon could pull off
the main character Chris, who struggles between his past as a SEAL, his present as
a pastor, and being pulled back into the shadowy world of special ops. Damon
shined in the Bourne film series, and he could shine in this series, too!
Gina Carano: Hannah Andrade (aka Infidel). Physically, I imagined Carano
when I first developed Hannah, the Special Operations Group CIA officer who is a
former mixed martial arts competitor. Also, Carano has the dark hair and eyes that
make it easier for her to blend into Arab populations. In addition, thereβs a
pretty side to Carano that Matt Damon, I mean, Chris Paladin is attracted to. As
for the disbelief in God and complexity to Hannahβs character, I donβt know where
all that comes fromβsheβs still a mystery, even to me!
(Young) Don Rickles: Sonny Cohen (aka Mr. Sunshine). Yes, from Toy Story,
Mr. Potato Head himself. When a Jewish New Yorkerβwho is a Delta Force operatorβ
rode naked on a donkey through the night of war torn Syria (in TRIDENT'S FIRST
GLEAMING), only a young Don Rickles came to mind. (He actually played a
soldier with Clint Eastwood in Kellyβs Heroes.) Sonny returns with Chris
and Hannah to fight again in From Russia Without Love.
Liam Neeson: Xander Metaxas. No spoilers here, sorry.
Leonardo DiCaprio: Animus Zacharoff. The Greek terrorist youβll love to
hate. Or hate to love? Hmm, I better leave it at that.
Christopher Nolan, Director/Screenwriter: If Iβm going to have Neeson
(Batman Begins) and DiCaprio (Inception), it makes sense for Christopher Nolan to
direct them again. And I like how he blended both action and character in the Dark
Knight trilogy.
Hans Zimmer, Soundtrack: I have so many tracks from Hans Zimmer and so
little time: The Dark Knight Trilogy, Inception (hmm, Iβm seeing a pattern
here), The Last Samurai, Gladiator, Crimson Tideβ¦

SEAL Team Six veteran Chris Paladin left the Navy to become a pastor, but CIA
spook Hannah Andrade pulls him back into Special Operations Group to locate the
White House Chief of Staffβs kidnapped son-in-law before he is executed by Greek
terrorists. Cantankerous Army Delta Force operator Sonny Cohen reunites with Chris
and Hannah as they race the clock to save the hostage.
In Athens, Chris and his teammates discover that Russia is secretly behind the
kidnapping, part of a murderous plan to attack the flow of natural gas in Europe.
The Cold War has heated up again.
Chris and his crewβs rescue quickly changes into a mission to capture-or-kill a
Russian spy.

I think Richard Gere or Mac from Dancing with the Stars would make great spies! The book sounds wonderful.
(LeAnn Knott 3:39am August 31, 2015)
Chris Pine would make a great lead character.
(Nancy Ludvik 9:16am August 31, 2015)
I am always a fan of the Rock to star as a lead character.
(Debi Little 9:37am August 31, 2015)

Chris Maloni star actor
(Virginia Clayton 2:36pm August 31, 2015)
I love military fiction. I love the idea of Matt Damon for the starring role. I'd
also like you to consider Ben Afflec, Brad Pitt, George Clooney, or even
Clint Eastwood's son, if they ask. I'm crossing my fingers & hoping to win.
Thanks for the contest.
(K'tee Bee 4:33pm August 31, 2015)
How about Chris O'Donnell as the Reverend? That's another of my ideas.
(K'tee Bee 4:37pm August 31, 2015)
I like military men in fiction. They take action when necessary and they
have the training to know what to do!
(Arlene Downey 7:55pm August 31, 2015)
Mark Harmon would be great
(Debbie Rudder 9:39pm August 31, 2015)
I love the military. Alot of action here. This would be the
kind of book you can't put down. Would love to read this.
(Sherry Cockerham 10:05pm August 31, 2015)
Bradley Cooper, he did such a good job in American Sniper!
(Cindy Rader 11:12pm August 31, 2015)
Not sure who would do good here but there are several that would
do a good job for sure. Looks like a hard to put down book to me.
(Nancy Luebke 4:08pm September 1, 2015)
Jason Statham could use a serious role for his talents.
Also, we need a few femme fatales - Angelie Jolie, Michelle
Yeoh, and Katee Sackhoff.
(Susan Voss 5:47pm September 1, 2015)
I can't improve on your choices. I mean picking a young Don Rickles is brilliant. If your writing is this good ... I'm in.
(Mary Songer 6:40pm September 1, 2015)
Looks like a book that would keep me up all night!
(Michelle Lilly 9:20pm September 1, 2015)
How about Jason Statham?
(Maria Smith 9:05am September 2, 2015)
Chris Pine definitely.
(Pam Howell 11:39am September 2, 2015)
I would love for it to be George Clooney!
(Denise Austin 4:54pm September 2, 2015)
