Rosamund Pike joins cast of wartime drama 'HHHH'

Writer and director Cedric Jimenez ("La French") has attracted an all-star cast for his newest project, based on the novel by Lauren Binet.

The story follows the rise of Reinhard Heydrich (played by Jason Clarke) in Nazi regime to become one of the main architects of the Holocaust, with the Bond girl Rosamund Pike to play Lina, Heydrich's wife. The title comes from a phrase made popular during the war Hirn heißt Heydrich ("Himmler's brain is called Heydrich").

Heydrich was one of the most famous victims of the war after two resistance paratroopers conspired to assassinate him.

The film is due to shoot this August in Prague. Pike and Clarke will be joined by Jack O’Connell and Mia Wasikowska.
