'Nuremberg' is a historical drama written and directed by James Vanderbilt, known for his work on 'Truth'. The star-studded cast includes Oscar winners Rami Malek and Russell Crowe, alongside Michael Shannon, John Slattery, and many more talented actors.
In this exclusive interview, Moviefone sits down with Michael Shannon and John Slattery to discuss their experiences working on 'Nuremberg'.

John Slattery, who plays Burton C. Andrus in the film, admits to feeling daunted by the challenge of the role. He questions his ability to portray such a significant character but is convinced by Vanderbilt to bring his unique interpretation to the part. Slattery's enthusiasm for being part of this historical narrative is evident, especially with such an impressive cast already attached to the project.
Michael Shannon, who portrays Robert H. Jackson, speaks about the extensive research he undertook for the role. He highlights Jackson's pivotal role in establishing the Nuremberg trials and the sacrifices he made to ensure the trials' success.

Slattery praises Vanderbilt's willingness to try different approaches and accommodate the diverse working styles of the cast, creating a positive and productive environment.
But here's where it gets controversial... The film's plot revolves around the Nuremberg trials, specifically the work of chief psychiatrist Douglas Kelley (Rami Malek) as he interviews Nazi military members to determine their fitness for trial. Kelley finds himself in a 'battle of wits' with Hermann Göring (Russell Crowe), Adolf Hitler's right-hand man. This interpretation of history is sure to spark debates and discussions among viewers.
And this is the part most people miss... 'Nuremberg' is not just a historical drama; it's a powerful exploration of justice, morality, and the complexities of human nature. It delves into the psychological battles that occurred during these trials, offering a unique perspective on one of the most significant events in modern history.
