Electric City lines up Ziggy with Dane DeHaan, Rooney Mara

Electric City’s Lynette Howell and Jamie Patricof have partnered with Australian writer-director Diesel Schwarze and are working with UK music producer Alex Da Kid to create original contemporary music.

Ziggy tells of the rise and fall of a hunchback escape artist who arrives in New York during the late 1920s and falls for the fiancé of a powerful media mogul.

Schwarze began his career working under Luhrmann during Moulin Rouge and La Boheme on Broadway. He then established himself as a commercials director under the name Augustus Punch.
