Actor Rami Malek, winner of the most prestigious awards for the role of the legendary Freddie Mercury, returns to the big screen with the exciting American thriller “Amateur” as the main character of Charles Heller.
20th Century Studios released the first trailer for the film based on the crime novel of the same name by Robert Littell from 1981, when the first film adaptation was made, and in April of the following year, 2025, a production adapted to the modern era will be released in cinemas, directed by James Hawes.
The story follows the fantastic and very reclusive programmer of the US Central Intelligence Agency (CIA), Charles Heller, who works in a basement office at the headquarters in Langley. His life changes completely when his wife is killed during a terrorist attack in London. The fellow inspectors he works with refuse to take action, and Charlie is determined to take matters into his own hands. Moving along dangerous paths, with the aim of finding those responsible for the death, he uses only his intelligence as an unbeatable weapon.
The previous role of the hacker Eliot Alderson in the crime series “Mr. Robot” served Malek to prepare for his new role, a programmer, although the activity of the enraged character in the latest film “Amateur” stems from love, in the mentioned series it is about bad family relations.
For the famous The Holywood Reporter the actor states that his character is someone who has lost his soul mate, the love of his life “He’s looking for some kind of justice from the people he works with who rejected him. Rhe is told to bury his head in the sand, and that awakens his explosive nature and makes him different.”
In addition to Malek, winner of the Oscar for the film “Bohemian Rhapsody”, the roles are also played by famous Hollywood actor Laurence Fishburne, as well as actress Rachel Brosnahan, the heroine of the multi-award-winning series “The Magnificent Mrs. Maisel.”
