Oscar winners Russell Crowe and Rami Malek, as well as Oscar nominee Michael Shannon, are set to star in historical drama “Nuremberg,” Bluestone Entertainment and Walden Media announced.
Director James Vanderbilt, known for writing and producing “Zodiac” prior to his directorial debut with “Truth,” wrote the script based on the book “The Nazi and the Psychiatrist” by Jack El-Hai. The rights to the book were acquired by Bluestone Entertainment, Walden Media and Széchenyi Fund — who are also financing the film.
The film will follow Malek as an American psychiatrist tasked to determine if Nazi prisoners are fit to stand trial for their war crimes. He finds himself in a battle of the wits with Hitler’s right-hand man, played by Crowe. Shannon will portray Supreme Court Justice Robert H. Jackson, the chief prosecutor in the Nuremburg trials.
“What an absolute honor it is to be working with such a tremendously talented group of actors.

I’m not sure which title is worse: Diamond Heist, the name of the film I was tasked with reviewing; or Magic Boys, the name given to the streamed movie I actually watched.
