MovieChat Forums > Kate Winslet Discussion > New Role rumor with Idris Elba

I like the sound of this, Kate hasn't done any work in the spy genre yet and it add more variety to her resume, plus it sounds a lot more interesting than the Lee Miller biography she was touted as doing.

And it's interesting that neither Kate nor Idris Elba would commit to the film without the other also being casted...they must regard each other highly. All in all I hope this does get made and Kate doesn't drop it like she did with the Lanthimos film.

The prospect of Kate working with Idris Elba sounds wonderful on paper, but the project needs a better director. Neil Burger is quite bland (if going by his work on Divergent).

Yes they had been filming in my small area of British Columbia, Canada, for the past couple of weeks. Kate and her husband and (one of their sons) have been around town at our local library and ski hills! Very sweet lady

Did you see/meet her? Lucky you regardless!

Anyway I have to say though, that the movie she is filming in Canada (a romantic survival movie) is not the same as the one this thread is about (spy film). I don't think the latter is happening anymore.
