Nicole Kidman and Ralph Fiennes will star in “The Reader” for the Weinstein Co.

Pic is a love story based on the bestselling novel by German writer Bernhard Schlink.

Stephen Daldry is directing a script by David Hare.

Mirage Productions partners Anthony Minghella and Sydney Pollack are producing with Scott Rudin. Shooting begins in Berlin late September.

The setting is contemporary Germany, where a man recounts the story of his erotic awakening in a covert love affair with an older woman in the wake of WWII.

Nazis, covert love affairs, and erotic awakenings? Yes, please!

6 opinions for Ralph Fiennes and Nicole Kidman new movie about erotic awakening

    Do you know this story? Nicole Kidman’s “potential” character is a pedophile and Nazi war criminal. The “erotic awakening” is Kidman’s character having sex with a 15 year old. Ralph Fiennes plays the adult version of the kid and is the narrator of the story. Kidman’s character comes back into his life while he’s in law school and she (Hanna) is on trial for her war crimes. I found nothing endearing about her character. She has a severe lack of morals and allowed people to be killed because she was too ashamed to admit that she couldn’t read. I’m shocked that she would even want to play this woman. I’ll be fascinated to hear why she’s doing it. And I can’t imagine too many people will respond well to the relationship. If people didn’t like Birth, they won’t like this.

    It seem i’m one of those rare people that likes to actually see a movie before I make a judgement. I hope there some other fair people around!

    This does not sound like material for Academy Award consideration. I will be fair and hold judgement until I see the film. I’m getting the book
    as it will be interesting to see how close the story is followed.
