Actor Jonathan Rhys Meyers has signed on to co-star in "The 12th Man", a drama about the resistance to the Nazi occupation of Norway in World War II.
The drama will be helmed by Harold Zwart, said The Hollywood Reporter.
Meyers will play German commander Kurt Stage.
"The 12th Man" is the story of Jan Baalsrud, a Norwegian resistance fighter, one of a dozen saboteurs trained by British intelligence to carry out a raid on an air traffic control tower in the Norwegian city of Bardufoss in 1943.
The raid failed, and 11 of the 12 resistance fighters were captured and killed. Only Baalsrud escaped and survived.
