Edgar Ramirez Set to Star in Drama THE WAR HAS ENDED
Edgar Ramirez, best known for his work on Carlos, Gold, and American Crime Story: The Assassination of Gianni Versaci, has been hired on to star in the upcoming drama The War Has Ended, from an award-winning original script by writer and director Hagar Ben-Asher. Here’s the synopsis of the story from Variety:
Set in Poland in 1945, at the end World War II, Joseph (Ramirez) travels through battle-scarred towns with his horse, Oscar, and his enchanting puppet show to give local children a momentary escape from reality. Joseph performs the story of “Frank and Tiny,” two elephants on the hunt for Frank’s lost trunk, but his real mission is the perilous hunt for his two missing sons.
Along the way he finds an unlikely ally in Lily, an orphan who offers to help him in exchange for learning the secrets of puppeteering. The pair embark on a dangerous quest driven by hope, faith and a father’s love.
Ben-Asher made the following statement about the project:
“’The War Has Ended’ is about a world reconstructing itself, finding its moral codes, and redefining the concept of family. The story of the war refugee has unfortunately become painfully relevant again, but I hope the optimism in this film can be an act of sanity in our chaotic world.”
This sounds like it will be a beautiful film with a poignant and important story to tell. I’m excited to see what comes of it. Are you interested in The War Has Ended?
