The Oscar-winning Mystic River star,
Tim Robbins will get his fourth feature down with Endgame Entertainment adaptation of the
Arthur Phillips-penned Cold War short story, Wenceslas Square.
The story has been scripted by Captain America's writers
Christopher Markus and
Stephen McFeely. Philip Noyce was reportedly attached to the director's chair. The production will move forward under the title
City of Lies.
Phillips' tale is set in Czechoslovakia at the end of the Cold War and involves a love story of a younger member of the CIA who finds himself romantically entangled with a Czech agent while participating in separate missions in Prague.
The short aired on the radio during an episode of ‘This American Life' last summer.
Robbins received an Oscar nomination for best director for 1995s Dead Man Walking and he was also nominated for the Palme d'Or at the 1999 Cannes Film Festival for his directorial turn in Cradle Will Rock.
Robbins most recently directed a couple of episodes of HBO's New Orleans-set drama Treme.
Stay tuned for the upcoming production schedule.
