Carnage director to work with author Robert Harris on film about turn-of-the-century French spy scandal
Roman Polanski is to follow up his success with Carnage with a film about the Dreyfus affair, the notorious turn-of-the-century French spy scandal that became a cause celebre for the fight against anti-semitism.
Fatherland author Robert Harris will work on the film's script, having recently collaborated with Polanski on the adaptation of his novel The Ghost Writer.
Polanski said he had "long wanted" to make a film about the scandal, adding, "one can show its absolute relevance to what is happening in today's world – the age-old spectacle of the witch hunt on a minority group, security paranoia, secret military tribunals, out-of-control intelligence agencies, governmental cover-ups and a rabid press."
The Dreyfus affair rocked fin-de-siecle France after Alfred Dreyfus, a young Jewish artillery captain, was convicted of treason in 1894 and sent to the brutal Devil's Island prison in French Guiana.
