Moving on from Flightplan, Robert Schwentke is now attached to direct Venus Fixer, an upcoming thriller from New Line and Mandalay Pictures.

The film is based on a true story, focusing on a Holocaust survivor recruited by the American army to track down a serial killer in postwar Berlin. He is partnered with a German cop who had been his friend and colleague before the Nazi regime came to power.

J.C. Pollack – aka James Elliott – has penned the screenplay. It is being produced by Cathy Schulman.
