The Company is an original six-hour mini-series premiering August 2007. The Company was shot by Ben Nott with the ARRIFLEX D-20 and ARRI Master Prime lenses. Chris O'Donnell, Alfred Molina and Michael Keaton star in this series based on the New York Times bestseller by Robert Littell. The story traces the activities of the CIA over a 40-year period, from the beginning of the Cold War through the demise of the Soviet Union.
The plot follows the fates of agents imprisoned in double lives, fighting an elusive, formidable enemy while also engaging in an internecine battle within the CIA itself. As agents delve deeper and deeper into the game of espionage, some can keep their hearts and heads cold and removed. But one man is forever changed by the cost in human lives and his own inability to resist the deadliest of dangers: falling in love with an enemy.
The Company is being directed by Mikael Salomon (Band of Brothers, TNT's Salem's Lot) from a script by Ken Nolan (Black Hawk Down). It comes to TNT from Sony Pictures Television, with Ridley Scott (Gladiator), Tony Scott (The Gathering Storm), John Calley (The Da Vinci Code), David Zucker (Numb3rs) and David A. Rosemont (Into the West) serving as executive producers.
