Viggo Mortensen is GoodViggo Mortensen will star in an adaptation of CP Taylor’s award-winning stage play Good to be directed by Vincente Amorin.

The story centers on a Germa professor in Frankfurt during the 1930s who allows himself to be seduced into the Nazi party. As he spirals down the vortex of the Reich, he rationalizes everything – his betrayal of his family and his Jewish friend as well as the morality he used to teach. Finally, standing in SS uniform at Auschwitz, he becomes a symbol of man’s ability to slide down the path to evil. Jason Isaacs and Mark Stong also star. Shooting is scheduled to begin next year from a script by John Wrathall.

Mortensen last starred in David Cronenberg’s A History of Violence. He next reteams with Cronenberg on Eastern Promises alongside Naomi Watts.
