It will be shot in the U.K. and Germany. A spy thriller, <em>Munich<\/em> is about treason and conscience, loyalty and betrayal, filled with real-life characters\u2014Hitler, Chamberlain, Mussolini, Daladier\u2014and events that changed history.<\/p>\n<p>Harris said: &#8220;From my point of view, this is the perfect combination\u2014an Anglo-German co-production of a story set in England and Germany, telling the story of an Englishman and a German struggling against the Nazis. From the moment I heard that Euston Films and UFA wanted to make it together, I knew my novel could not be in better hands.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Kate Harwood, the managing director of Euston Films, added: &#8220;As a long-time fan of Robert Harris&#8217;s epic and dramatic novels I am so proud that we have been entrusted with the rights to this superb book. I think <em>Munich<\/em>, with its thrilling yet forensic look at four days when the world held its breath, is destined to be a future classic. With our partners and sister company UFA, we are planning an international co-production of scale and ambition as a dual language drama which will shoot in the U.K. and Germany. A really exciting venture for us all.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Nico Hofmann, CEO of UFA, said: \u201cRobert Harris is revered in Germany, and rightly so. No author in recent years is better than Robert at portraying German history as world history and attaining unprecedented levels of quality, suspense and drama in the process. <em>Munich<\/em> is an outstanding example of the kind of German-British co-production that only Fremantle can deliver. I am confident that it will set new standards in narrative television and prove a fantastic production opportunity for both UFA and Euston Films.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>FremantleMedia has inked a deal with the best-selling author Robert Harris to produce the TV adaptation of his latest novel, Munich.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":350,"featured_media":8332,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"pmpro_default_level":0,"footnotes":""},"categories":[70],"tags":[1418,126,2139,1042],"class_list":["post-8328","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","","category-top-stories","tag-euston-films","tag-fremantlemedia","tag-munich","tag-ufa-fiction","pmpro-has-access"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v21.7 -
