- "Schrader is still an insanely interesting filmmaker and his next project sounds ****ing great. ADAM RESURRECTED has, for starters, a great cast. Jeff Goldblum plays a Jewish clown that leads thousands of Jews to the gas chamber in an effort to save his own skin. Fucked up, huh? Now Willem Dafoe has signed on to the project to play... guess what? That's right! A Nazi! Dafoe makes a good Nazi." (Quint on AIC News)
