Missed this at Lincoln Center- and have regretted it since--but HBO is adapting for television---

Ruth Wilson and Andrew Scott are among the cast of Oslo, the HBO original movie that is now rolling cameras in Prague.

Pic is written by Tony Award winner J.T. Rogers, who also wrote the stage play, and directed by Tony Award winner Bartlett Sher. The plot is based on a true story of negotiations between implacable enemies — the secret back-channel talks, unlikely friendships and quiet heroics of a small but committed group of Israelis, Palestinians and one Norwegian couple that led to the 1993 Oslo Peace Accords.

The movie will air on HBO and stream on HBO Max next year. It is executive produced by Marc Platt of Marc Platt Productions (La La Land), Kristie Macosko Krieger (The Post) and Steven Spielberg of DreamWorks Pictures, and David Litvak of Bold Films. Producers for Marc Platt Productions are Jared LeBoff and Adam Siegel, and producers for Bold Films are Michel Litvak, Gary Michael Walters, and Svetlana Metkina.
