Jeremy Strong To Star In Peter Morgan Series Revamp Of 1978 Nazi Conspiracy Thriller ‘The Boys From Brazil’
Netflix has set Jeremy Strong to star in The Boys From Brazil, which Peter Morgan is adapting into a TV series.
Levin’s novel was turned into the 1978 hit film directed by Franklin J. Schaffner, and sources tell me Strong will play the role of Lieberman. Strong as Cohn and Sebastian Stan as young Donald Trump are both Oscar-nominated for The Apprentice, a drama about the formative years of the wannabe real estate titan who is taken under the wing of Cohn, the polarizing lawyer who was Sen. Joe McCarthy’s right hand man in the Communist witch hunt that established the Hollywood Black List. The action of The Boys from Brazil took place in the ’70s, but the specter of Hitler and Anti-Semitism still looms large, even with Kanye West paying for a Super Bowl ad on Sunday that pointed viewers to a website selling swastika shirts.
