Vera Farmiga Joins Walden Media’s ‘Billion Dollar Spy’ Opposite Russell Crowe & Harry Lawtey

Vera Farmiga joins Russell Crowe and Harry Lawtey in 'Billion Dollar Spy'

Adapted from the acclaimed book by Pulitzer Prize-winning author David E. Hoffman, Billion Dollar Spy follows Adolf Tolkachev (Crowe), who in real life risked everything to pass thousands of pages of top-secret Soviet intelligence to the United States. Finally finding an ally in CIA agent Tom Lenihan (Lawtey), Tolkachev was able to shift the balance of power, proving that true patriotism lies not in blind allegiance, but in the willingness to challenge a government when it strays from its ideals. While her early feature credits include Jonathan Demme’s The Manchurian Candidate and Joan Chen’s Autumn in New York, she broke out in a lead role in Martin Scorsese’s Oscar winning The Departed.
