Lily James (Cinderella, Downton Abbey) and Jai Courtney are to star in the upcoming WWII-drama The Kaiser's Last Kiss. Other cast members are Christopher Plummer (as the Kaiser), and Janet McTeer. Simon Burke adapted Alan Judd's original novel for the silver screen. Courtney (Spartacus, Divergent, Suicide Squad) plays the role of a German soldier trying to found whether the Dutch resistance has a spy in Kaiser Wilhelm's home in The Netherlands during the war. A Jewish girl (James) catches his eye during his task. This is David Leveaux' directorial debut for the big screen but he is well known and awarded for his direction of several plays. The Kaiser's Last Kiss is completely recorded in Belgium (probably due to tax advantages) and I had the luck to play a small part in this production as an extra. I'm very curious to see the result on the big screen in 2016.

This video gives a glimpse of the set in Lier, where a village scene was shot, and even Lily James can shortly be spotted in the background.
