Assassin's Creed director Justin Kurzel hasn't made a film for a couple of years, but he's spent some of that time trying to put the pieces together for post-World War II thriller Ruin. It appears he's finally got two key elements locked in, as Margot Robbie and Matthias Schoenaerts are on to star.
Ryan and Matt Firpo wrote the script, and Kurzel jumped aboard to direct in April last year. The story follows a holocaust survivor looking to get revenge on the troops who killed her family, who builds an unlikely alliance with a former Nazi captain. Together, they anonymously travel the ruins of post-World War II Germany as he seeks to atone for his crimes by hunting down the members of the SS Death Squad that once worked under him.
At one point, Kurzel had Gal Gadot circling the lead, but it appears that scheduling has taken her out of contention. The cameras will roll on this one next spring in Prague.
Robbie is working on Quentin Tarantino's Once Upon A Time In Hollywood and will next be seen in Mary Queen Of Scots, due out on 18 January. Schoenaerts has Close Enemies premiering at the Venice Film Festival and will be seen in true-life sub thriller Kursk.
