Directed by Matthew Vaughn — whose previous hits include the “Kingsman” movies and “X-Men: First Class” — it hits theaters February 2.
But the truth about the book’s authorship, and the film’s source material, is as twisted, conspiracy-filled and globe-trotting as a massive Hollywood franchise. “Something’s fishy,” an anonymous Hollywood producer who has worked with Vaughn, told The Post.
In July 2021, it was reported that the director was putting together his next would-be blockbuster, assembling a star-studded cast for a movie based on the as-yet-to-be-published novel “Argylle” by Elly (sometimes written as Ellie) Conway.
