The Night Manager
Today the shooting of The Night Manager begins according to Hugh Laurie. In Switzerland.
The novel follows Jonathan Pine, a former British soldier turned night auditor for a luxurious hotel. One night, Pine encounters Sophie, a French-Arab woman who has ties to Richard Onslow Roper, an English black marketeer
who has made a fortune from the sale of weapons. Sophie provides Pine
with incriminating documents, which Pine forwards to a friend in British
intelligence. Despite Pine's best efforts to help her, Sophie's
betrayal is discovered and she is subsequently murdered. Six months
later, Pine is approached by intelligence operatives Leonard Burr and
Rex Goodhew, who head a British anti-arms-smuggling organization and are
planning an elaborate sting operation
against Roper. Eager to avenge Sophie, Pine agrees to go undercover to
infiltrate Roper's vast criminal empire, but the operation is
jeopardized by an inter-agency turf war within the intelligence
community.
Burr sets up an operation called "Limpet" designed to take down Roper. Jonathan Pine is then used as the recruit and with Burr, fabricates a criminal identity and cover story and heads to the Bahamas to meet up where Roper is going. Pine wins the confidence of Roper by "rescuing" his child from a phony kidnapping orchestrated by Burr's organization, getting severely injured in the process when the kidnappers beat him up. When he recovers, Roper sets Pine up with a fake company and uses Pine as a "front man" in his latest, largest illegal arms deal; he is planning to sell embargoed arms to the Colombian drug cartels in exchange for cocaine to be shipped to Europe. As the head of the company, Pine is tasked with the assignment of executing the transaction, in which shipping containers full of cocaine labeled "Colombian coffee" are exchanged for arms. While signing the paperwork Pine gathers information to convict Roper. He has also fallen in love with Roper's innocent English mistress, Jed.
Meanwhile, however, corrupt factions within both the CIA and British Intelligence are profiting from the illegal arms trade, and form a secret organization, 'Flagship', to scuttle Burr's sting operation. They betray Pine's true identity to Roper, who holds him captive on his yacht and tortures him. To save Pine, Burr sacrifices his operation and allows Roper to get away, in a daring maneuver which ends his own career. Pine and Jed get away at the end when Burr fools Roper into thinking he faces arrest if he doesn't release the two of them.
As with many Le Carre novels the story has an ambiguous ending, with Pine saved and united with Jed, but the corrupt arms dealers and intelligence officers win and Burr and the honest American enforcement officers working with him are discredited.

Thor III. revealed plot by Tom Hiddleston ?
A few times diverse Online Magazines claim that Tom already spoilered Thor III. about the Apocalypse and Loki´s wife, but I can reasure you it not. Ragnarok is part of the North Myth just like Loki´s punishment by the poisenous snake and also he tricked Sigyn into the marriage with him, and this are Stories from the Myth, but truth be told it could be part of the plot, who knows what Kevin Feige´s plans are, but it isn´t most likely, I would rather think of the Storyline with The Enchantress, Lorelei - hell even Sif, all heart broken in Asgard...and who is in Asgard... ;-)
All we can assume is that it´s the end of all things. And Loki is about to blow some shit up. And that Thor will break everything apart, when he gets to know what Loki did to their Father (What ever that may be?)
