Damian F. Slattery wrote the script which is loosely based upon the Danish pic Harry og kammertjeneren. George C. Wolfe will direct,

The project has been in the works for some time, with Anthony Hopkins and Morgan Freeman attached to star at one point.

Philippe Rivier )and Colin Callender will produce.

Production begins on location in Louisiana next spring.
