DIANE KRUGER SHOOTING AGAIN IN NRW

For her role in Fatih Akin’s Golden Globe-winner IN THE FADE, Diane Kruger was awarded the Best Actress prize at the Festival de Cannes in 2017. And once again, she will soon be shooting in North Rhine-Westphalia for a new feature supported by the Filmstiftung NRW and the Israel Film Fund, taking on the leading role in Israeli director Yuval Adler’s upcoming film THE OPERATIVE. A large part of the principle photography will be taking place in NRW and the film is being co-produced by Michael Weber and Viola Fügen of the Cologne-based Match Factory Productions.

In the thriller, Kruger portrays a young British woman who is recruited by the Israeli secret service Mossad for a covert mission in Tehran. Director Yuval Adler won the main prize of the Venice Days in 2013 for his political drama BETHLEHEM.
