The plot centers on a secret romance between Swenson and Katya, a mysterious Russian woman he met in a New York nightclub.
Director Nima Nourizadeh just can’t get away from espionage, it seems, as he’s been tapped to helm The Tracking of a Russian Spy.
The movie will be based on Mitch Swenson’s fact-based autobiographical novella, in which he tells the story of his secret dalliance with a woman who might just be, you guessed it, a Russian spy.
She disappeared suddenly after the arrest of 10 Russian Americans who were charged with spying for the Kremlin.
