News just in that Downton Abbey‘s Elizabeth McGovern and G.I. JOE’s (among many great works) Jonathan Pryce are now officially onboard with MY WEEK WITH MARILYN’s director Simon Curtis for his Holocaust drama. The film will focus on:
The true story of a Holocaust survivor who sets out to retrieve family possessions seized by the Nazis, among them Gustav Klimt’s famous painting, ‘The Lady In Gold’. She teams with a plucky young lawyer in a major battle to sue the government.” This will be the screenwriting debut of playwright Alexi Kaye Campbell and it seems as if the film will be shooting for eight weeks in the UK, Austria as well the U.S.
Despite Campbell and Curtis’ relatively new introductions to the silver screen, the names attached to the project alone are bound to bring in hordes of interest among cinema-goers.
THE WOMAN IN GOLD is directed by Simon Curtis and features the likes of Helen Mirren, Ryan Reynolds, Daniel Bruhl, Antje Traue, Tatiana Maslany, Max Irons, Charles Dance and Moritz Bleibtreu. It has no release date as of yet, but is set for sometime in 2015.
