All the Old Knives is an upcoming thriller film directed by Janus Metz. It is based on the novel of the same name by Olen Steinhauer.

Premise[]

Ex-lovers and spies Henry and Celia meet over dinner to reminisce on their time together at Vienna station. The conversation moves to the disastrous hijacking of Royal Jordanian Flight 127, which ended in the deaths of all on board. That failure haunts the CIA to this day, and Henry seeks to close the book on that seedy chapter. Over a sumptuous dinner, it becomes clear that one of them is not going to survive the meal.

Production[]

The film was announced in May 2017, with Chris Pine and Michelle Williams in negotiations to star. James Marsh was set to direct, with The Mark Gordon Company and Entertainment One financing.[1]

Metz revealed filming had begun by December 2020 in London.[4] Filming wrapped in London in February, and will move to California in March.[5] Metz revealed that principal filming wrapped in mid-March.[6]
