Joel to Star in ‘Debriefing the President’

Another project for Joel! He is set to star in the interrogation drama Debriefing the President, an adaptation of the book of the same name written by John Nixon. The project was initially set as a feature film, but it will now go forward as a limited series.

The Killing and Suicide Squad alum Joel Kinnaman is set to star in AR Content’s adaptation of John Nixon’s Debriefing the President. Kinnaman will star as former CIA analyst Nixon who wrote the non-fiction book about his experience of being the first American to identify and interrogate Saddam Hussein following his 2003 capture.

Nixon was a senior leadership analyst with the CIA from 1998-2011 who regularly wrote for and briefed those at the most senior levels of the U.S. government and later taught leadership analysis to the new generation of analysts coming at the Sherman Kent School, the agency’s in-house analytic training center. 

After confirming the prisoner was indeed Hussein, who had a known tribal tattoo on the back of his right hand and a scar from a 1959 bullet wound, Nixon began interrogating Hussein and was surprised by his findings. Instead of a ruthless despot bent on stockpiling weapons of mass destruction, Hussein had turned his foreign policy decision-making to his lieutenants and seemed more focused on writing a novel.

Hussein had also failed to understand why he had become the focus of U.S. anger after 9/11 and Nixon came away in disbelief that America’s intelligence services and the George W. Bush administration had been so wrong in its reasons for plunging the country into the shock-and-awe origins of an Iraqi occupation.

“When I received this beautiful adaptation of John Nixon’s memoir, I was immediately thrilled to participate,” said Kinnamen. “It’s a very intelligent character drama where the psychological cat and mouse game between John Nixon and Saddam Hussein will also shed new light on the chaos behind the second Iraq war. I couldn’t be more excited to be making this cinematic piece with Alexander Rodnyansky and his talented team of producers.”

Rodnyansky added: “I am happy and excited for Joel to join Debriefing the President. I believe we have found the best actor to play a complex and nuanced character that is John Nixon. For years, I have been a great admirer of Joel’s work both in film and television and his commitment and involvement in the development of our project made him integral to this story.”

Joel is set to star in another action-thriller movie entitled The Silent Hour, which will be directed by Brad Anderson. No additional casting has been announced, but the film will begin production in early 2023.

The Boston-set crime drama will see Kinnaman play a police detective who suffers a workplace accident that leaves him hearing impaired. Sixteen months later, as an interpreter for the police department, he battles a team of corrupt cops trying to eliminate a deaf murder witness in an apartment building.

Joel Kinnaman to Star in ‘Sympathy for the Devil’

Joel is set to star in a new psychological thriller, Sympathy for the Devil, alongside Nicolas Cage. Production has already started in Las Vegas. This sounds like another interesting project!

Written by Luke Paradise (“Lost on a Mountain in Maine”), “Sympathy for the Devil” follows “The Driver” (Kinnaman) as he finds himself in a high-stakes game of cat and mouse after being forced to drive a mysterious man known as “The Passenger” (Cage). That sets things up for a white-knuckle ride. 

“This is a tour de force featuring two incredible actors,” said producer Allan Ungar. “As an acclaimed filmmaker, Yuval has assembled the perfect cast and brought a unique and gritty vision to this film that will be sure to capture audiences.”

Joel Kinnaman & Kelly Gale for Vogue Scandinavia

Joel and Kelly have graced the cover of the August/September issue of Vogue Scandinavia! Their cover story highlights the couple’s romantic story. Unfortunately, the full article is behind a paywall. And I’m not sure I can get my hands on the magazine issue itself. But anyway, I have updated the gallery with some outtakes and behind-the-scenes photos from the cover shoot. Check out Twitter too for the digital magazine covers! They’re not static images, so I can’t really add them to the gallery.

Celebrating 7 Years Online: New Name & Layouts

Hello fellow Joel fans! As the site celebrates its seventh(!!) year online, I thought it’s time for a big change, so… Welcome to The Kinnaman Squad! I’m tired of the old title and I thought I’d change it to something related to one of Joel’s projects. I have also (finally) put up new layouts, I hope you love it as much as I do! The gallery will also undergo some major changes, with some categories and albums re-arranged, but that will be for another time. I know I’ve missed out on some updates, I’ll get to updating the gallery next, especially with Joel attending Comic-Con yesterday. Thank you all for visiting and supporting the site!
