Jeff Goldblum is to star in the lead role in the World War II Holocaust drama
Adam Resurrected, according to the Hollywood Reporter.
Paul Schrader is directing "Resurrected" which is based on the acclaimed 2000 book by Israeli novelist Yoram Kaniuk. It centers on Adam Stein, a former circus clown who was spared the gas chamber so that he might entertain thousands of Jews as they marched to their deaths. He becomes the ringleader at an asylum in the Negeve desert populated solely by Holocaust survivors and struggles to makes sense of the world. The novel has been translated into 20 languages.
