First up from the Daily Mail is word that Garfield is in negotiations to join The Woman in Gold.  The film centers on "Maria Altmann (Mirren), who joined forces with lawyer Randol Schoenberg to take legal action against the Austrian government to recover art works that once belonged to her family but were stolen by the Nazis, including Gustav Klimt’s The Lady In Gold, Portrait Of Adele Bloch-Bauer, Altmann’s aunt."  Garfield will portray Schoenberg.  Brühl is in talks to play an Austrian official.
