AGC Studios is fully financing the upcoming adaptation All That I Am to star Evan Rachel Wood and Rufus Sewell and is launching talks with EFM buyers.
Kate Dennis, who has helmed episodes of The Handmaid’s Tale and GLOW, will direct from the adapted screenplay by Matthew Faulk and Mark Skeet of the novel by Anna Funder.
Wood and Sewell are joined on the cast by Vanessa Redgrave and Eliza Scanlen and production has been earmarked for a late summer shoot in Berlin and Sydney.
The story centres on four German-Jewish literati in the Second World War who smuggled classified documents from top Nazi Hermann Goering into Britain.
Sixty years later the sole survivor of the four, Ruth Wesemann, lives in Sydney, Australia, and recalls her escapades after she receives a package containing the posthumous memoirs of her old friend Ernst Toller.
Troy Lum, Andrew Mason, Gabrielle Tana, Jorjo Narjes and Uwe Schott are producing.
Wood starred in Westworld (pictured) and Phoenix Rising, the two-part documentary about domestic abuse whose first part at Sundance last month.
AGC recently licensed all international territories on Sundance selection Watcher to Focus Features after moving up EFM buyer screenings to capitalise on strong buzz around the psychothriller.
