On 3 November 2014, it was announced that Henry Cavill would next star in the action thriller film Stratton, to be produced by his own banner Promethean Productions, Amber Entertainment, and GFM Films. It would be based on the Duncan Falconer's eight-novel series of same name, featuring the lead character John Stratton, an SBS agent, and working for the Intelligence Detachment in Northern Ireland. The film, producing by Ileen Maisel and Lawrence Elman who also bought the film rights to the novel, would set in Southern Italy, Rome and London.
