Nicolas Cage, Alice Eve, & More Lead Stacked Cast of New World War II Movie

Academy Award winner Nicolas Cage is officially reuniting with Con Air director Simon West in the upcoming World War II spy action-adventure movie titled Fortitude. The story is based on the remarkable true story of British Intelligence operatives using unprecedented strategic operations that fool Nazi leadership, ultimately changing the course of World War II. Production has already started in London.

“With historical consultation from Joshua Levine (Dunkirk, Blitz), the film follows the brilliance of British Army officers Dudley Clarke and Thomas Argyll ‘TAR’ Robertson, who deployed an elaborate web of deception campaigns, including fictitious armies, fake military equipment, and a network of double agents to mislead Nazi Intelligence,” reads the official synopsis. “Among them was Yugoslavian playboy Dusko Popov, a real-life double agent. He laid the blueprint for James Bond, turning real-life espionage into legend, which ultimately inspired Ian Fleming’s novels.”
