Sam Riley is set to play British playwright Christopher “Kit” Marlowe in “A Dead Man in Deptford.” The cast also includes James Purefoy, Ray Winstone, Ed Speleers and Adam Sinclair. Adapted by Michael Elias from Anthony Burgess’ novel, “Deptford” will be directed by Nick Copus for Ballpark Prods. and Neversink Prods. The movie will play with the idea that Marlowe, a notorious bar room brawler, was also a royal spy for Elizabeth I and that his death in Deptford at age 29 may have been an assassination ordered by the English Secret Service.
