Eye In The Sky
Moonlighting is rumoured to be the South African production company on Eye In The Sky, a drone warfare thriller written by BAFTA winner Guy Hibbert and directed by South African Gavin Hood (Ender’s Game, Tsotsi). The updated cast includes Oscar winner Helen Mirren, as well as Breaking Bad’s Aaron Paul, Captain Phillips’ Barkhad Abdi, Game of Thrones Iain Glenn, and Harry Potter’s Alan Rickman. Colin Firth is apparently no longer attached. The shoot’s expected to end at the start of November. Haris Zambarloukos (Thor, Locke) is the DOP, while South African Johnny Breedt (Mandela: Long Walk To Freedom) is the production designer.

Excerpt.....
"There is a new production called "eye in the sky" which is about military drones, ironically, that is directed by South African Director Gavin Hood and it is produced by Colin Firth's Production Company. Initially we thought Colin Firth is going to be the star in the film, but I was lead to believe that that is not the case, he is just putting up the money for the film, at this stage they are not sharing with me who the lead is going to be."
