WILLEM DAFOE - DAFOE AND GOLDBLUM TEAM UP FOR NAZI STORY

WILLEM DAFOE and JEFF GOLDBLUM will star in a new film about the horrors of the Holocaust based on YORAM KANIUK's acclaimed novel ADAM RESURRECTED. Goldblum will play a former circus clown who is spared the gas chamber so he can entertain Jews as they march to their deaths. After the war, he then becomes a leader at a centre for survivors of the Holocaust. The film will re-team Dafoe, who plays a Nazi officer whose life is saved by Goldblum's character, with director PAUL SCHRADER. The two previously worked together on 1997's AFFLICTION and 2002's AUTOFOCUS. Production is set to begin in April (06) in Germany, Romania and Israel.
