Acquires U.S. Rights to ‘The Eichmann Show’ The Weinstein Co. has acquired U.S. distribution rights to “The Eichmann Show,” which stars Martin Freeman and Anthony LaPaglia. Pic is being sold by Content Media, which is screening the film for the first time to buyers at the European Film Market in Berlin. The film, which is directed by Paul Andrew Williams (“Song for Marion,” “London to Brighton”), follows the televised trial of Adolf Eichmann, one of the key architects of the Holocaust. The movie is the behind the scenes drama of how blacklisted TV director Leo Hurwitz (LaPaglia) and ground-breaking producer Milton Fruchtman (Freeman) set out to capture the testimony of one of WWII’s most notorious Nazis as he is confronted with witnesses to his appalling crimes, and ultimately reveal the true horrors of the Holocaust to the world. Also in the cast are Rebecca Front, Andy Nyman and Nicholas Woodeson. Pic is written by Simon Block and produced by the BBC and Feelgood Fiction’s Laurence Bowen and Ken Marshall, with Sheetal Talwar co-producing.
