Soderbergh to direct Kanon book adaptation
Steven Soderbergh, the Oscar-winning director of films such as Traffic and Erin Brokovich, is on track to direct an adaptation of Joseph Kanon's book, The Good German.
The book is a romantic thriller, set in Berlin during the summer of 1945, and tells how an American journalist finds himself drawn into a mystery when he returns to Berlin after the second World War to search for his mistress.
The New York Times Book Review described it as a "provocative, fully realized [work of] fiction that explores, as only fiction can, the reality of history as it is lived by individual men and women."
The film is to be produced by Section Eight, the film company owned by Soderbergh and George Clooney.
