SEE THE LIVES OF OTHERS ON STAGE...IN ENGLAND...THIS FALL

One of my favorite Telluride experiences was catching Florian Henckel von Donnersmarck's The Lives of Others back in 2006 at my very first TFF.  Didn't know anything about it and thought it was great.  The film would go on to win the 2007 Best Foreign Language Oscar.

Now comes news that there is a stage adaptation on its way.  Both Variety and The Hollywood Report had the story this week.  

Big names are involves to as it was announced that the play will star Keira Knightley, Stephen Dillane and Luke Thompson.  

Plans are for the film to open in October and run until January 2027.

Here's the link to the Variety report.
