’Munich’ Gets a Title
What started out as Steven Spielberg’s Untitled Munich Project has gone under a little trim here and a little trim there to be officially titled just plain Munich. I like it. Short – and to the point. Plus, because it’s so short, it’ll probably cut engraving costs on all those Oscars.
The movie, an historical thriller set in the aftermath of the 1972 massacre of 11 Israeli athletes at the Munich Olympics, recounts the dramatic story of the secret Israeli squad assigned to track down and assassinate 11 Palestinians believed to have planned the 1972 Munich massacre — and the personal toll this mission of revenge takes on the team and the man who led it. Inspired by actual events, the narrative is based on a number of sources, including the recollections of some who participated in the events themselves.
Eric Bana stars as the Mossad agent charged with leading the band of specialists brought together for this operation. The cast also includes Daniel Craig, Geoffrey Rush, Mathieu Kassovitz, Hanns Zischler and Ciaran Hinds.
Based on a script by Pulitzer Prize-winner Tony Kushner (Angels in America), the movie will be released by Universal Pictures in the United States and Canada on December 23, 2005. DreamWorks Pictures will handle the movie internationally.
