“This has spoiled my tranquility.” AMC Networks has debuted the full official trailer for the noir mystery thriller series titled Monsieur Spade, co-created by the writers / directors Scott Frank and Tom Fontana. Now set to launch at the end of January in just a few months (here’s the teaser). The famous detective Sam Spade is now 60 and living as an expat in France in 1963 trying to enjoy some peace. This series is originally based on a character created by Dashiell Hammett, the same author who wrote the famous noir stories The Glass Key, The Thin Man, Red Harvest, The Maltese Falcon. Set in the early 1960s, after the Algerian War just ended. Detective Sam Spade has been quietly living out his golden years in a tiny town in the South of France. Soon enough, it won’t be quiet for him any longer when his past from America catches up with him. Clive Owen stars as Monsieur Spade, with Cara Bossom, Denis Ménochet, Louise Bourgoin, Chiara Mastroianni, Rebecca Root, Stanley Weber, with Matthew Beard and Jonathan Zaccaï. This looks good – I dig the setting in the lush backdrop of the South of France & all of Clive Owen’s wise-crackin’ lines.
