” sees him star as Sam Nelson, a top corporate negotiator who finds himself in the eye of a storm when the plane he is flying on is hijacked by a gang of ruthless criminals.

Elba’s career both on and off screen has undoubtedly been unique. As well as acting, directing and producing, he also has a side-gig as a superstar DJ and, after considering a bid for U.K. public service broadcaster Channel 4, recently invested in a marketing agency. Is there anything he hasn’t tried — does he own a sports team, for example? “Well actually, not one I have announced,” he replies cryptically.

There’s so much choice, you know. There’s really good television — really bad shit as well — and, you know, my history and legacy of television, it’s usually been good shit. And I wanted just to make sure that I contributed as a producer in that way. So the idea came [from Kay] and we kicked that around and that blossomed into what “Hijack” was.
