Olivier Martinez (_Unfaithful_) is set to star in action-adventure series _Soldiers of Fortune, _ produced by New Zealand’s Mercenary TV Limited and Ireland’s Subotica, and executive


produced by Roadside Attractions TV (_Dear White People)_. Set in the shadowy world of high-risk corporate warfare, _Soldiers of Fortune_ stars Martinez as Vincent Corbo, a battle-scarred


black-ops Specialist hired by visionary high-tech mogul Peter Swann to fight the ruthless business rivals, corrupt governments and violent crime syndicates laying siege to Swann’s global


empire. Michael Colleary (_Lara Croft: Tom Raider, Face/Off_) will serve as showrunner and oversee an international team of writers, primarily from Europe. Nadine de Barros and Robert Ogden


Barnum’s Fortitude International acquired the rights to the Blue Skies series and will begin shopping it immediately. Production is set to begin in late February, with additional cast to be


confirmed. WATCH ON DEADLINE Richard Fletcher and Trevor Haysom produce for Mercenary TV Limited, along with Tristan Lynch and Aoife O’Sullivan of Subotica. Executive producers are Howard


Cohen, Eric d’Arbeloff and Jennifer Berman of Roadside Attractions Television, Jeff Most (_The Crow, The Specialist_) and BiFrost’s Daniel Wagner (_Miles Ahead, Broken City)_. “A television


series set against the backdrop of high-tech private military units deployed by billionaires to achieve their political and business goals couldn’t be more timely or exciting,” said Cohen


and d’Arbeloff. Martinez’s recent TV credits include _Mars, Texas Rising_ and _Revenge_. He’s repped by Framework Entertainment.
