Any Werner Herzog news is good news. Herzog will write and direct The Piano Tuner, a lush Victorian-era drama about a Brit's journey to war-torn Burma.
Based on Daniel Mason's 2002 debut novel, the story centers on Edgar Drake, a man sent to a remote village in the late 1800s to repair an eccentric military man's piano. Drake falls in love with a Burmese woman and her country, but as the officer wins over locals through music and medicine, things grow treacherous when his troops begin to suspect him of treason.
