Russell Crowe, Rami Malek and Michael Shannon will star in the drama “Nuremberg”

Oscar winner Crowe will play the role of Hermann Goering, head of the Luftwaffe and one of Hitler’s closest collaborators. Oscar-winning Malek will play psychiatrist Douglas Kelly, who evaluated the capacity of the defendants, and Oscar nominee Shannon will play Judge Robert Jackson, the chief prosecutor for the United States. Filming will begin next February in Hungary.

The historical drama will be shot by James Vanderbilt, known as the screenwriter and producer of David Fincher’s “Zodiac”. The basis of “Nuremberg” was the book “The Nazi and the Psychiatrist” by American journalist Jack El-Hai, which the director adapted.
