Adam Resurrected is an upcoming American/German/Israeli dramatic film, adopted from Yoram Kaniuk's novel of the same name from 1968. It is scheduled for release in 2008. It concerns an ex-circus performer who, after World War II, becomes the ringleader at an asylum for Holocaust survivors. Adam Resurrected is currently in the process of casting, which is being conducted by Anja Dihrberg.
Jeff Goldblum will star as Adam. The movie will also star Willem Dafoe and Ayelet Zurer.
"Adam Resurrected" follows the story of Adam Stein (Jeff Goldblum), a charismatic patient at a mental institution for Holocaust survivors in Israel, 1961. He reads minds and confounds his doctors, lead by Nathan Gross (Derek Jacobi). Before the war, in Berlin, Adam was an entertainer--cabaret impresario, circus owner, magician, musician--loved by audiences and Nazis alike until he finds himself in a concentration camp, confronted by Commandant Klein (Willem Dafoe). Adam survives the camp by becoming the Commandant's "dog," entertaining him while his wife and daughter are sent off to die. Years later we find him at the Institute. One day, Adam smells something, hears a sound. "Who brought a dog in here?" he asks Gross. Gross denies there is a dog but Adam finds him--a young boy raised in a basement on a chain. Adam and the boy see and recognize each other as dogs--and their journey begins. "Adam Resurrected" is the story of a man who once was a dog who meets a dog who once was a boy.
