Actor Harvey Keitel is currently in the Czech Republic filming World War II drama The Painted Bird.

The Reservoir Dogs actor will play a priest and is currently on set in Český Krumlov and Hartmanice after wrapping the latest Martin Scorsese project The Irishman a few weeks ago.

Based on the novel by Polish author Jerzy Kosiński, ‘The Painted Bird’ is an emotional look at World War II through the eyes of a Jewish boy hiding in Eastern Europe.
