Ben Kingsley To Portray Adolf Eichmann in ‘Operation Finale’

Director Chris Weitz is planning to make a movie on the infamous Nazi architect of the Holocaust, Adolf Eichmann and has roped in Ben Kingsley for the role. He has been cast opposite Oscar Isaac who will play Peter Malkin, the Mossad operative who led a group of Israeli spies searching for Eichmann. When World War II was ending, Eichmann moved to Argentina where he was later captured by the Mossad.

Eichmann was responsible for the transport of Jews from countries all over Europe to concentration camps. He was found guilty following a trial in Israel and was hanged in 1962 at the age of 56. Oscar will also be producing the film alongside Brian Kavanaugh-Jones, Fred Berger and Jason Spire.

MGM had acquired the script by Matthew Orton for the flick back in 2015. The writer for ‘Bridge of Spies’, Matt Charman, is executive producing the project. Ben was last seen in the Netflix film ‘War Machine’ where he shared screen space with Brad Pitt. The flick was released on May 26 and was directed by David Michôd.
