The drama follows an American journalist (Clooney) drawn into a murder mystery in post-war Berlin, where he's searching for his wartime mistress (Blanchett). Paul Attanasio wrote the script.

Maguire will play a seemingly innocent soldier who drives the journalist around town and has motives of his own.

Clooney and Soderbergh's Section Eight are producing the film, which will be shot in black-and-white on WB's soundstages. Production begins in the fall.
