He continues, “I just started a couple weeks ago, but I know already that I will be as happy after six months in September as I am right now.” The 38-year-old actor shares, “It is something I am really certain of…It is one of those projects where all the pieces come together perfectly.

Discussing it at greater lengths, Brühl explains, “I couldn’t put it down. I was reading it like a twelve-year-old boy. It takes place during 1896 and it’s a very dark and gloomy story about a psychologist and some other guys who are hunting a serial killer.” The Alientist star adds, “It is very sinister and has a wonderful atmosphere and quality. The adaptation of the script is fantastic.”
