With the enormously talented Colin Firth at the center of this adaptation, the story of <em>The Staircase<\/em> will continue to captivate audiences with every bizarre twist and turn.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Campos added: \u201cThis has been a project I have been working on in one way or another since 2008.
