Lionsgate Takes On 'The Professionals'

The Professionals
Lionsgate U.K. has acquired the rights to produce a feature film version of iconic Brit TV series "The Professionals," which is expected to begin lensing in Blighty later this year.

The reboot of the 1970s crime series for the big screen will see ex-special ops mercenary Bodie and counter-terrorism detective Doyle return to the camera in an origin story that will follow the two characters as they unite in their first mission for covert British security unit CI5.
