Viggo Mortensen ("The Lord of the Rings", "A History of Violence") will star in the big screen adaptation of CP Taylor's award-winning stage play "Good" reports Production Weekly.

John Wrathall adapted the script for "Good" which centers on a German professor in Frankfurt during the 1930s who allows himself to be seduced into the Nazi party.

As he spirals down the vortex of the Reich, he rationalizes everything -- his betrayal of his family and his Jewish friend as well as the morality he used to teach.

Jason Isaacs and Mark Strong also star in the film which is being directed by Vicente Amorin. Shooting is scheduled to begin on location in Potsdam and Berlin in 2007.
