Argylle: The Explosive Spy Thriller That Inspired the new Matthew Vaughn film starring Henry Cavill and Bryce Dallas Howard

Product Information

NATIONAL BESTSELLER  The globe-trotting spy thriller that inspired the upcoming action blockbuster Argylle (February 2024) , featuring a star-studded cast including Henry Cavill , Bryce Dallas Howard, Samuel L. There’s one word that comes to my mind when it comes to the filmography of Matthew Vaughn and that’s — don’t kill me here — “cheap.

One Russian magnate’s dream of restoring a nation to greatness has set in motion a chain of events which will take the world to the brink of chaos. Argylle in a nutshell is a political spy novel and a high stakes mission to recover an invaluable missing artifact, the 8th Wonder of the World, The Amber Room. I'm willing to reconsider my rating and review after watching the movie that this book ties into, but for now it's two stars. Admittedly because my favourite actor is in it (who also happens to play all of my favourite book boyfriends in my head) but so what?The Instagram account - The first post on Elly Conway's Instagram was shared on Taylor's birthday, December 13th. Millions rely on Vox’s clear, high-quality journalism to understand the forces shaping today’s world. And I say that because I imagine Taylor Swift has a load of people trying to jump on her bandwagon left, right, and center, and I don't want to be a part of that club.

As Vaughn told the Happy Sad Confused podcast in October, “I love the idea of what would happen if J. I won't lie, I had never heard of The Amber Room prior to this novel and I will be the first to admit that I enjoy a good spy novel now and then, but at the end of the day its not my go to genre. The theory was also fuelled by Chip the cat's Instagram account, as whoever is behind it has been posting about Taylor while the Swifties have been busy theorising. Until one moment of compassion and brilliance will bring him to the attention of the most powerful woman in the secret world. As with the Nazis in the Indiana Jones films, the point is to underline the ruthlessness of one of the teams in the treasure hunt.Vaughn went on to explain that “Book 4, which is what the movie’s based around, was the one that would work for it. And unfortunately, there’s just enough evidence that I’ve found myself, against all better judgment, indulging the theory.

The pace was slightly off for me, beginning half I found it was slow, and the latter half crammed in a lot! I kind of guessed who the hidden villain was, but it didn't take away from the enjoyment of the story as the whys and wherefores were intriguing.

Principal photography began that same month in London with cinematographer George Richmond, and took place across various locations in Europe. The filmmaker stated that it will include the Kingsman franchise, the Argylle films, and an unnamed third franchise; while the plan is to have each of these culminate in a crossover at some point in the future. If you love movies like James Bond, Die Hard, Mission Impossible, Indiana Jones and other actionpacked movies, than Argylle is definitely a book for you.

One particular TikToker has managed to link the name 'Elly Conway' to details about Ryan in a fairly convincing way. Swifties immediately clocked the similarities between the film's aesthetic and some of of Taylor's visuals. The 2024 election cycle is here, and Vox is one of the last places readers can access free, accurate, and transparent information.
