The Reader is an upcoming American drama film based on the 1995 German novel The Reader by Bernhard Schlink. Actor Ralph Fiennes and Kate Winslet star in the lead roles. When he falls ill on his way home from school, 15 year-old Michael Berg (Fiennes) is rescued by Hanna (Winslet), a woman twice his age. The two begin an unexpected and passionate affair only for Hanna to suddenly and inexplicably disappear. Eight years later, Michael, now a young law student observing Nazi war trials, meets his former lover again, under very different circumstances. Hanna is on trial for a hideous crime, and as she refuses to defend herself, Michael gradually realizes his boyhood love may be guarding a secret she considers to be more shameful than murder.
Release date: December 10, 2008
