Filming is set to begin this month in Budapest on a new Holocaust film.
Love is a Survivor, the magical love story of Herman Rosenblat, is to star Maia Morgenstern, the Jewish actress who recently made waves with her role as Mary in The Passion of the Christ, Hollywood legend Tony Curtis (Some Like It Hot), Nicholas Hoult (About a Boy) and Sky McCole Bartusiak (The Patriot).
The film, by Atlantic Alliance Pictures (New York/London) in association with Heritage Pictures (Warsaw), tells the story of Rosenblat, and how he and his three brothers stayed together throughout the Holocaust. It also tells of Rosenblat's loss of hope and faith, which is restored by the love of a young woman.
British director Phillip Saville directs the screenplay by Harris Salomon and Matt Salzberg. Cinematographer Blasco Guirato (Cinema Paradiso) is responsible for camerawork, and recording artist Tim Janis will compose the score.
The film is set for release in January 2005.
