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.
