Opting not to take a holiday between seasons of Black Sails, Toby Stephens has signed on for Michael Bay's Benghazi-set thriller 13 Days. He joins a cast that already includes John Krasinski, James Badge Dale, Max Martini, Freddie Froma and Pablo Schreiber.
Written by Chuck Hogan, the script adapts Mitchell Zuckoff’s book 13 Hours: The Inside Account Of What Really Happened In Benghazi. The focus is on six members of a security team who fought to defend the US State Department special mission compound in Libya when terrorists attacked it on the eleventh anniversary of 9/11. Ambassador J. Christopher Stevens and one of the compound’s workers died in the initial assault and two contractors were killed during another attack on a nearby CIA facility.
Stephens will be playing Glen "Bub" Doherty, a Global Response Staff officer in Tripoli and a close friend of Krasinski's Navy SEAL.
Outside of high-seas piracy on the Starz channel, Stephens is probably still most recognizable as the James Bond villain Gustav Graves in Die Another Day. But he's been making up for that lately by playing Bond himself on BBC Radio 4.
Bay began filming 13 Hours on April 27 in Malta, as one of his more personal interim projects before the inevitable Transformers 5. There are no release dates set so far, but we can probably expect it in 2016.
