— Variety (@Variety) March 15, 2023

– The film is based on the true story of Joseph and Rebecca Bau whose wedding in the Plaszow concentration camp was depicted in Steven Spielberg’s “Schindler’s List.” It follows Joseph’s journey as an artist and prisoner in the Plaszow camp and his fight for justice years later;

– The film also sheds light on the fact that there were other persecuted groups in the camps and offers an inclusive representation of the Holocaust by featuring characters of Afro-Germanic and LGBTQ+ backgrounds, both in speaking roles as well as throughout background extras. It is directed by Sean McNamara (“The King’s Daughter,” “On a Wing and a Prayer”);

– A Bau feature documentary is also in the works. It’s intended to be a companion piece to the feature film;

– Emile is another sign of cancelling being terribly effective (this is sarcasm, details under the cut): [Spoiler (click to open)]On February 12, 2015, Hirsch was charged with aggravated assault after attacking and strangling Paramount Pictures executive Daniele Bernfeld on January 25, 2015, at Tao Nightclub in Park City, Utah. Hirsch claimed he did not remember what had happened as the event happened when he was taking stimulants while inebriated.
