Gautier Tells All in “Red Fish, Blue Fish”

So much for Glastnost.

Principle photography has wrapped for the upcoming Cold War spy thriller “Red Fish, Blue Fish,” and producers hope the response goes nuclear. Set in both the 1980’s and 1960’s, the film reimagines a world where powerful oligarchs pull the strings of powerful world leaders, manipulate US and Soviet relations and hope to start a third world war. A “Second Missile Crisis,” with Turkey replacing Cuba as the backdrop, is the means to this atomic-powered end.

“It’s a powerful script and it’s going to be an equally powerful film,” said actress Lana Gautier, who plays the 1980’s version of Anna Popolovski, the daughter of a Russian spy who’s knows many of her father’s secrets. “There’s intrigue at every turn, and what you’re thinking at one point may or may not be where the story is going. It’s very compelling.”

Red Fish, Blue Fish also stars Kaiwi Lyman-Mersereau, Jeff Hatch, and John Henry Richardson; and was written and directed by AJ Martinson.
