Ruth Wilson & Andrew Scott To Star in HBO Movie From Steven Spielberg

Actors Ruth Wilson and Andrew Scot, who is best known for Fleabag will be starring in HBO Movie that comes from the world of Stephen Spielberg who is among its executive producers.

The two actors head the cast for Oslo, based on the Tony Award-winning play by J.T. Rogers that details the secret back-channel talks, unlikely friendships and quiet heroics of a small but committed group of Israelis, Palestinians and one Norwegian couple that led to the 1993 Oslo Peace Accords.

Rogers is adapting his play, with Tony winner Bartlett Sher (South Pacific) directing the Prague-based production. Spielberg executive produces via DreamWorks Pictures alongside Marc Platt, Kristie Macosko Krieger and Bold Films' David Litvak.

"In collaboration with Steven, Kristie, Marc, and Bold Films, we're delighted to work with J.T. and Bartlett to adapt their inspiring Tony Award-winning story for the screen," said Tara Grace, senior vp HBO Programming and Films. "Recounting the remarkable feat of two diametrically opposed sides coming together to find common ground, Oslo's themes are especially pertinent, and we couldn't be more pleased to have so many revered artisans on both sides of the camera working together to bring this to life."

"My memory of seeing Oslo on the stage for the first time is still so vivid," said Krieger. "I felt then what I feel now — this is a powerful and necessary story for our times. I'm excited to be working with Steven, Marc, HBO and Bold Films, along with our incredible cast and creatives, to bring this story to an expanded global audience."
