Mikey Madison & Gillian Anderson Reportedly Eyed to Join Jeremy Strong in Netflix’s Thrilling ‘The Boys From Brazil’ Remake

The Boys from Brazil is a thriller novel by Ira Levin, published in 1976. It tells the story of Yakov Liebermann, a Nazi hunter who uncovers a shocking plan. Dr. Josef Mengele, a Nazi war criminal, has created clones of Adolf Hitler and placed them with families to recreate Hitler’s childhood. Liebermann must stop the plan before history repeats itself.

In 1978, The Boys from Brazil was made into a movie. It was directed by Franklin J. Schaffner and written by Ira Levin and Heywood Gould. The film starred Gregory Peck, Laurence Olivier, and James Mason. It was popular and got three Academy Award nominations.

Now, Netflix wants to remake the movie into a show. We don’t know much about the project but Jeremy Strong was already confirmed to be part of the remake back in February of this year.

Now according to industry insider Jeff Sneider, Mikey Madison & Gillian Anderson are being eyed to star in the show alongside Strong. Mikey Madison started acting in short films and became known for Better Things (2016–2022). She played Susan Atkins in Once Upon a Time in Hollywood (2019) and Amber Freeman in Scream (2022). This year, she won an Oscar and a BAFTA for her role in Anora.
