Production
On 3 November 2014, it was announced that Henry Cavill would next star in the action thriller film Stratton, to be produced by his own banner Promethean Productions, Amber Entertainment, and GFM Films. It would be based on the Duncan Falconer's eight-novel series of same name, featuring the lead character John Stratton, an SBS agent, and working for the Intelligence Detachment in Northern Ireland. The film, producing by Ileen Maisel and Lawrence Elman who also bought the film rights to the novel, would set in Southern Italy, Rome and London.
On 25 February 2015, Simon West was hired to direct the film, which was fully financed by GFM Films. On 28 May 2015, five days before the filming was set to begin on 2 June, Cavill exited the film due to creative differences in the script. On 9 July 2015, it was announced that Dominic Cooper would take over the title role, of John Stratton, replacing Cavill.
Other cast members include Gemma Chan, Austin Stowell, Tyler Hoechlin, and Tom Felton. More cast was announced by Screen Daily, which included Thomas Kretschmann, Derek Jacobi, Connie Nielsen and Jake Fairbrother.
