Exclusive: Roger Donaldson, whose long career in Hollywood has encompassed movies including The Bounty, Species, Cocktail, Dante’s Peak and The World’s Fastest Indian, is attached to direct the German-produced and Vietnam-set TV series Nhiem.
The show comes from local producers Carte blanche International, which is at this week’s European Film Market in Berlin with its feature film Merkel, about the German premier, which Paramount is releasing locally.
Heinrich Hadding, who wrote the 2009 feature Pope Joan, is penning the screenplay with David Wenham and John Goodman. The series will follow titular character Nhiem, a 19-year-old film student who is forced to leave his studies and join the Vietnam War, eventually becoming the Viet Cong’s documentary eye.
Producers are Carte Blanche International’s Alexander van Dülmen and Stephan Wagner. Director Donaldson and van Dülmen previously collaborated on The World’s Fastest Indian starring Sir Anthony Hopkins and Diane Ladd.
