Production Weekly is reporting that Rosamund Pike, Stephen Dillane and Rade Serbedzija are set to star in Jeremy Podeswa’s Fugitive Pieces, based on the novel by Anne Michaels.
Podeswa, who is also writing the screenplay under consultation with Michaels, recently returned from a scouting trip in Greece where part of the story is based. Other periods are set in Toronto. The book, which won the UK-based Orange Prize for Fiction in 1997, weaves together the stories of two men from different generations whose lives are transformed by the Holocaust.
Production is scheduled to begin in April 25th in Canada.
