Billy Zane recently signed up to star in “The Hessen Affair” a World War II thriller.

To refresh your memory, Zane played the villain in “Titanic” who tried to keep Kate Winslet from Leonardo DiCaprio.

“The Hessen Affair” has a $20 million budget and starts filming in Canada November 12th. The picture is about real events set in 1945 where two American officers find the crown jewels of Germany.

Sounds like a winner to me.
