Indrukwekkende cast jaagt op kunst tijdens WOII.
Wanneer George Clooney in de regiestoel kruipt, komen er fijne namen aan te pas. Voor z'n nieuwste project werd Daniel Craig toegevoegd aan de tot nu toe bekende cast : Bill Murray, Cate Blanchett, Jean Dujardin, John Goodman, Hugh Bonneville en Bob Balaban.
Het script komt van George Clooney en Grant Heslov, die ook Good Night, and Good Luck en The Ides of March schreef. Muziek : Alexander Desplat. De productie start op 1 maart 2013.
Het gaat om een boekverfilming, meerbepaald THE MONUMENTS MEN: ALLIED HEROES, NAZI THIEVES, AND THE GREATEST TREASURE HUNT IN HISTORY van Robert M. Edsel.
Synopsis boek;
At the same time Adolf Hitler was attempting to take over the western world, his armies were methodically seeking and hoarding the finest art treasures in Europe. The Fuehrer had begun cataloguing the art he planned to collect as well as the art he would destroy: “degenerate” works he despised.
In a race against time, behind enemy lines, often unarmed, a special force of American and British museum directors, curators, art historians, and others, called the Momuments Men, risked their lives scouring Europe to prevent the destruction of thousands of years of culture.
Focusing on the eleven-month period between D-Day and V-E Day, this fascinating account follows six Monuments Men and their impossible mission to save the world’s great art from the Nazis.
