Diane Kruger-Starrer “In the Fade” Acquired by Magnolia

“In the Fade”

Diane Kruger’s name is looking more and more likely to enter the awards conversation in the coming months. The “Inglourious Basterds” star took home the Best Actress award at Cannes this year for “In the Fade,” and now comes word that the drama has been acquired by Magnolia Pictures with an awards-qualifying run planned for this autumn. ScreenDaily reports that a theatrical release will follow in early 2018.

The timely, well-reviewed German film sees Kruger playing a woman seeking revenge after her husband and son are killed in a bomb attack carried out by Neo-Nazis.

“Diane Kruger’s performance in ‘In the Fade’ is one for the ages,” commented Magnolia president Eamonn Bowles. “It is a stunning anchor to this incredibly timely and powerful film.”

“I was so moved by this movie — it’s a film about terrorism, but also a film about the people who have been left behind,” Kruger has said.

“In the Fade” marks the first time the German actress has acted in her first language. “Disorder,” “The Bridge,” and “The Host” are among Kruger’s previous credits. She’s spoken about the importance of opening up more opportunities for women and hiring more women directors “so that the younger generation can see that anything is possible.”
