The significance of the date, <\/span>September 5<\/i><\/b>, in the title of the new Paramount Pictures\u2019 dramatic thriller may escape those who weren\u2019t alive in 1972, but the film depicts a horrible day in history when a despicable act of terrorism hit the Summer Olympics, keeping the world frozen to their television sets.<\/span><\/p>\n

Unlike Steven Spielberg\u2019s <\/span>Munich<\/i><\/b>, this film from Swiss filmmaker Tim Fehlbaum focuses on the attack on the Olympic Village by terrorists targeting the Israeli athletes, but though the eyes of the ABC News team, played by John Magaro (<\/span>Past Lives<\/i><\/b>), Peter Sarsgaard, Ben Chaplin, and their German translator, played by Leonie Benesch (<\/span>The Teacher\u2019s Lounge<\/i><\/b>). This team had to transition from covering an important global sports event to relaying what was happening with the athletes, who were taken as hostages.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

<\/ins><\/span><\/p>\n

Cinema Daily US<\/span><\/i> had a chance to speak with Fehlbaum with producer John Palmer a few weeks back, an interview you can watch above. The director talks about going to film school in Munich and staying in the buildings that were used as Olympic Village helped get him interested in telling this, they talk about casting, as well as recreating the horrible events that put the world on edge.<\/span><\/p>\n

September 5 <\/i><\/b>will open in select cities on December 13 and then expand nationwide on January 17. Look for our interviews with Chaplin and Ms. Benesch sometime in January.<\/span><\/p>\n
