Harvey Keitel is to star in Sky/Peacock’s upcoming TV adaptation of The Tattooist of Auschwitz. The Oscar-nominated Irishman star will play the modern-day Lale Sokolov.
His younger self will be played by Jonah Hauer-King, who arrives at Auschwitz in 1942 and is made one of the tätowierer (tattooists), charged to ink identification numbers onto fellow prisoners’ arms.
Around 60 years later, Keitel’s Sokolov meets novice writer Heather Morris (Melanie Lynskey). Recently widowed, Sokolov finds the courage to tell the world his story as he faces the traumatic ghosts of his youth.
Anna Próchniak and Jonas Nay also star. Morris wrote the best-selling book and is story consultant on the project from Synchronicity Films and Sky Studios, with Jacquelin Perske lead writer.
