Eric Bana, Kiernan Shipka

Eric Bana and Kiernan Shipka are to star in UK director Jordan Scott’s Berlin-set thriller Berlin Nobody, with Ridley Scott a producer. 

American social psychologist Ben Monroe (Bana) investigates a local cult connected to a disturbing event, while his daughter (Shipka) becomes embroiled with a mysterious local boy. The film is inspired by Nicholas Hogg’s 2015 novel Tokyo. Jordan Scott has also written the script. 

Protagonist Pictures is handling worldwide sales alongside Cologne-based augenschein Sales. The companies will co-represent the project and launch worldwide sales at the European Film Market, having previously co-represented sales on Maximilian Erlenwein’s The Dive.

Set to start shooting in September, the film is produced by Ridley Scott – the father of Jordan – under the Scott Free banner and Michael Pruss alongside augenschein Filmproduktion’s Jonas Katzenstein and Maximilian Leo. Georgina Pope will also produce.
