HBO considers acquiring Berlin Noir

This is a favorite series for me, and I’m not sure anyone can give it the right flavor, but I’ll be happy to see them try. This may be less about fantastic casting and more about finding a way to get the right tone, which is traditional, world-weary noir overlaid by the feel of desperation as Germany crumbles around the protagonist.

Of course, I’m still curious about the potential casting.

I’m going with possibly MIchael Fassbender:

Had never heard of the book, but that sounds like a great project and I can see HBO doing a great job with it.
