ISTANBUL: A wildly popular Turkish television and film thriller franchise staring an action hero dubbed the "Turkish James Bond" will make a movie about the failed July 15 coup, its producer an**unced.
The "Valley of the Wolves" franchise, has resulted in dozens of television episodes and several spin-off films since it was first created in 2003, enthralling many Turks.
But it has long been accused by critics of having a strong ideological bent alongside a potent streak of Turkish nationalism and anti- American and Israeli sentiment.
"In response to intense public demand to make a film or television ****** about the coup bid, our firm has taken the decision to make the film ‘Valley of the Wolves -- Coup’," production company Pana Film said on Twitter late on Monday.
It did **t give further details but the film will most likely see the return of Turkish secret service action hero Polat Alemdar -- played by Necati Sasmaz -- to do battle with the coup plotters who aimed to unseat President Recep Tayyip Erdogan.
The Turkish authorities blame the coup on the US-based Islamic preacher Fethullah Gulen and have slammed Washington for failing to hand him over to face trial at home.
According to the Aksam newspaper, the question of Turkey-US relations will play a prime role in the script.
Always ending up on top against the odds -- like British spy hero James Bond -- Polat Alemdar takes on a pa**ply of Turkey’s enemies, be it the mafia, militants or even the West.
