Last May I visited the Studio Babelsberg set of Brian Percival‘s The Book Thief (20th Century Fox, 11.15). Two sets actually — an outdoor set on the old European street set (which was scheduled to be torn down, I was told) and a sound-stage interior set of the little house that Geoffrey Rush, Emily Watson and Sophie Nelisse share. At the time producers Ken Blancato and Karen Rosenfelt told me the film would most likely be released in early 2014, but now it’s slated for November. Things must have turned out well in post, right?
