Oscar-winning actor Anthony Hopkins will take on the lead role in a new film about the late Sir Nicholas George Winton, who saved hundreds of children from the Nazis, Variety<\/em> reported<\/a> on Wednesday.<\/span><\/p>\n

In the Holocaust drama \u201cOne Life<\/a>,\u201d both Hopkins and fellow British actor Johnny Flynn will play Winton at different stages of his life.<\/span><\/p>\n

The son of German-Jewish parents, at the age of 29 Winton oversaw the rescue of children in Nazi-occupied Czechoslovakia who were threatened with deportation to Adolf Hitler\u2019s death camps. He arranged for the Czech children to safely travel to England, where they were taken in by British foster families. Winton succeeded in rescuing around 669 children<\/a> from Czechoslovakia, most of them Jewish, in 1938-1939, before World War II broke out.<\/span><\/p>\n

The humanitarian and stockbroker kept his rescue efforts a secret and it was only publicized 49 years later when his wife discovered in their attic a scrapbook featuring the children\u2019s names and new addresses. Winton\u2019s surprise and emotional reunion<\/a> with the grown children whom he had saved took place in 1988 on the BBC <\/em>show \u201cThat\u2019s Life.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

Winton was knighted in 2003 by Queen Elizabeth II for \u201cservices to humanity, in saving Jewish children from Nazi Germany.\u201d He died in 2015 at the age of 106.<\/span><\/p>\n

See-Saw Films\u2019 managing directors Iain Canning and Emile Sherman, along with Joanna Laurie, are producing \u201cOne Life.\u201d Aisling Walsh is set to direct. Lucinda Coxon and Nick Drake co-wrote the screenplay.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cDespite never wanting any attention for his altruistic act, Nicky\u2019s story and the story of those he saved must be told,\u201d said Canning and Sherman. \u201cTo be a part of sharing this moment in history with the world is an extraordinary privilege. Anthony and Johnny are without a doubt the right people to bring Lucinda and Nick\u2019s beautifully\u2010crafted screenplay about this amazing man to life.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n
