Tradecraft: USA Gets Page Eight in November

Deadline reports that the Ralph Fiennes/Bill Nighy BBC spy movie Page Eight will premiere on American television in November. It will air on PBS as part of their Masterpiece Contemporary series, debuting on November 6 at 9pm. According to the trade blog (and presumably coming directly from PBS at today's press event), Page Eight "stars Bill Nighy, Michael Gambon, Ralph Fiennes and Rachel Weisz in the story of an aging spy who stumbles onto an international scandal that could bring down the British government." As previously reported, it's written and directed by playwright David Hare (Saigon: Year of the Cat).
