Andrew Scott and Ruth Wilson star in Steven Spielberg’s film adaptation of Oslo

His Dark Materials stars Andrew Scott and Ruth Wilson are reuniting as a real-life husband and wife involved in the secret negotiations behind the 1993 Oslo Peace Accords.

Oslo is based on J T Rogers’ award-winning play and stars Wilson as Norwegian foreign minister Mona Juul and Scott as her sociologist husband Terje Rød-Larsen, both of whom became intrinsic to the diplomatic conversations between a group of Israelis and Palestinians, ultimately paving the way for the historic deal.

Directed by Bartlett Sher, the film will be executive produced by Steven Spielberg, alongside Marc Platt, Kristie Macosko and David Litvak.

The cast includes Shtisel actors Sasson Gabai as foreign minister Shimon Peres and Dov Glickman as academic Yair Hirschfield, alongside Fauda’s Itzik Cohen, Igal Naor, Salim Dau and Rotem Keinan and Jeff Wilbusch of Unorthodox.
