Alfred Herrhausen, born in 1930, was the chairman of Deutsche Bank. But to the team behind German series “Herrhausen – The Banker and the Bomb,” premiering at Series Mania, he was a “visionary.”
“He was a humane banker, always looking into the future. What you see in this show is a person who tries to do something new and others prevent him from doing it. They say: ‘We have never done it before.’ He says: ‘Well, that’s the definition of the word ‘new,’” says actor Oliver Masucci.
The show, written by Thomas Wendrich, premieres the trailer in exclusivity with Variety.
Before taking on Herrhausen, Masucci gained prominence thanks to Netflix’s “Dark.” Next, he will be seen in the BBC and CBS Studios show “King and Conqueror” alongside Nikolaj Coster-Waldau as William the Conqueror.
“When we think of bankers now, we think of absolute capitalists. But he kept saying we needed to shift our perspective.

Kirsten Niehuus, CEO at Medienboard Berlin-Brandenburg, which funds films and TV series production in the Berlin region, and Simone Baumann, managing director of German Films, which promotes and supports the release of German films abroad, welcomed a wide array of guests to their garden party at the Cannes Film Festival on Saturday.
Three Medienboard-funded films are in this year’s Competition: Tunisian director Kaouther Ben Hania’s “Four Daughters,” Austrian filmmaker Jessica Hausner’s “Club Zero,” and U.S. helmer Wes Anderson’s “Asteroid City.”
Niehuus told Variety: “Those are three very different productions, but it shows the spectrum [of films] that Medienboard supports.” Tunisian films, like “Four Daughters,” need international co-production funding to get made, she said, and “we believe in world cinema, so were very happy [to back it].” Hausner is “one of the most impressive female filmmakers [in the world], and I think there should be more female filmmakers on the Croisette and every other ‘A’ festival,...

Why did the western become arguably the most important genre in post-war filmmaking? From John Ford to Sam Peckinpah, the sweeping vistas and amoral politics lit up the big screen, gifting America a new creation myth. Now, the western is back in a more compact form – and with a transatlantic hue. After Hugo Blix’s excellent The English, Sky Atlantic is rebooting Sergio Corbucci’s Django film franchise as a brooding 10-part stampede through the dawn of the United States.
It’s the Old West, 1872. From the wreckage of the American civil war, John Ellis (Nicholas Pinnock), an almost messianic figure, is building a utopia: New Babylon. His city will be a home to all, regardless of colour or creed, gender or sexuality. Except there’s one man who is apparently unwelcome in this false-front Xanadu. Django (Matthias Schoenaerts) arrives as a drifter, offering himself to the bearpit in a fight to the death.

Sky has revealed the full trailer for the Sky Original series of a reimagining of the classic western ‘Django.’
Set in Texas in the late 1800s, Django is a jaded cowboy in search of the daughter he thought he’d lost. In following her trail, he comes upon New Babylon, a town at the bottom of a crater, where all outcasts are welcome and where everyone is equal and free. Here, Django discovers that his 20-year-old daughter Sarah is alive and set to marry John Ellis, the founder of New Babylon. Sarah – who blames her father for the death of their family, massacred many years earlier while he was at war – wants Django to leave. But he refuses to give up and does everything in his power to get a second chance with her, becoming a valuable ally for Ellis, who must defend the town from Elizabeth Thurman’s attacks.

Django is back.
The coffin-dragging, quick-draw gunslinger character introduced in Sergio Corbucci’s 1966 Spaghetti Western classic, which inspired dozens of sequels, spinoffs and tributes, most famously Quentin Tarantino’s Django Unchained, has finally arrived on the small screen.
Sky’s 10-episode Django, which has its world premiere at the Rome Film Festival on Sunday, Oct. 16, is billed as a reimagining not just of Django, but of the Western genre itself.
Set, like the original film, in the period after the American Civil War, the series combines plot elements from both Django and its official 1987 sequel Django Strikes Again, themes from Tarantino’s film — particularly the role of Black people and freed slaves in old West — as well as adding several original ideas of its own. Even Django’s famous weapons-packed coffin makes an appearance, though in a very different setting than the original.

"Where are you running from, stranger?" Sky TV has unveiled a first look teaser trailer for a new Django series, inspired by the original classic spaghetti western from Italy. This new series is created by the Italian filmmakers Leonardo Fasoli & Maddalena Ravagli for Sky and Canal+, though it's an English-language reimagining of the classic 1966 film - with Franco Nero - which was itself a retelling of Akira Kurosawa‘s Yojimbo. This one stars the award-winning Belgian actor Matthias Schoenaerts as Django, and changes the story around. In this Django, it follows the gunslinger around the Wild West searching for his daughter who he believes escaped the murder of his family eight years ago. The ensemble cast also includes Noomi Rapace, Nicholas Pinnock, Lisa Vicari, Jyuddah Jaymes, Eric Kole, Benny Opoku-Arthur, Tom Austen, and Abigail Thorn. There's no initial debut date set yet, but it's expected by the end of 2022 for streaming via Sky.

(This whole article is spoilers for the twisty German time travel series “Dark” on Netflix. This is just more than 3,000 words of spoilers. Just a wall of spoilers here, basically.)
I really did not think that “Dark” would get an actually conclusive ending. I thought the German Netflix series was just too complicated, its mountain of paradoxes too large, to break the insane and endless cycle at the heart of this completely insane show. I thought “Dark” creators Jantje Friese and Baran Bo Odar would take the story to a logical and thematically appropriate stopping point, and the cycle would continue forever.
But that didn’t turn out to be the case. The duo managed to find a way to break the loop and end the series in a way that actually works. It’s not perfectly airtight — we cannot, with 100 percent certainly, piece together the entirety of this story.

Stephen King has been offering movie and TV show recommendations left and right these past few months. The acclaimed horror writer frequently lets his readers know what he’s watching and why he’s watching it through Twitter. A prolific storyteller, King has also made time to watch a fair bit of content during quarantine and his latest obsession, it seems, is a Netflix series called Dark, which is arguably the best sci-fi show on the platform.
Here’s what he had to say about it:
“Dark (Netflix) is dark and complex…and…well…very German. Terrific show. If you get confused, go to MetaWitches and check out Metacrone’s recaps. Detailed and helpful. You think the world is going to shit, then you find out other people are watching Dark and you say Thank You God, There’S Hope!”

Even then, a show like this will never be easy to understand, the complications and paradoxes of the show are exactly what makes it. Just as Jonas (Louis Hofmann) says, “it’s a bit complicated to explain”. Like the fact Charlotte may be her own Grandma… Yep, we’re as confused as you are.
We’re reminded time and time again that everything and everyone is connected in Dark, and the final few episodes of this season gives this a whole new meaning.

[Note: The following interview discusses Season 3 of the Netflix series “Dark.”]
If seeing an entire reality flipped in the last season of “Dark” seemed jarring, know that it felt just as dissonant to the people helping to bring it to life.
When it came time for Martha (Lisa Vicari) to take on some of the some iconography that in previous seasons was associated with Jonas (Louis Hofmann), that exchange between the two main characters made for a moment that forced them and series co-creators Jantje Friese and Baran bo Odar to recalibrate a little.
“Just even her wearing the yellow raincoat in the costume test was really weird. Also for [Lisa] because it was so iconic for Jonas as his character. For Louis, being on set and she’s entering the room with his jacket, the first reaction was like, ‘Give me back my jacket! This is mine!'” Odar said in a recent interview with IndieWire.

In the third and final season of Dark on Netflix, the show takes even more twists and turns through time - and other worlds - and brings further questions about the characters. It covers more years than the first two seasons, even jumping back to the 1800s. In the scenes from 1888 in episode two, we meet an old blind man who is a bit of a mystery at first, as he's not outright identified. But after putting the pieces together, we now know who the blind man is.
First, let's fast forward to how the entire show ends. The older Claudia (Lisa Kreuzer) tells Adam (Dietrich Hollinderbäumer) that she knows how to untie the knot that will break the entire cycle of time travel, and the answer lies with H.G. Tannhaus. He's the clockmaker who created the original time travel machine in 1986 in the origin world. By attempting to go back in time,...

[Note: The following contains spoilers for “Dark” Season 3, including the ending.]
For as much as the show invited questions of who was or wasn’t one, the villain of “Dark” never really mattered as much as many of the potential antagonists would have had you believe. After all the talk of inevitability, it seemed like this grand trilogy of seasons was destined to be a rope that, rather than snapping under the tension pulling at either end, would instead unravel in a pile, however neat.
That’s how the series comes to a close in Season 3, capped off by an ending that pushes aside the idea of an ultimate victor.

[Note: The following review contains mild spoilers for Season 3 of “Dark.”]
The greatest trick nested within “Dark” is what it manages to make inevitable. Even before the third and final season of the German-language Netflix sci-fi time travel epic, each new wrinkle has arrived with a shock, but also with the storytelling confidence that this is always how it would unfold. Juggling a dizzying amount of causal loops and concurrent timelines and logical paradoxes, “Dark” has always operated with a combination of precision and patience required to make each new successive detail feel earned. In telling the story of the unassuming town of Winden, the construction of that story has felt, fittingly, like that of a ticking clock.
The giant gambit at the end of last season was that not only were Jonas (Louis Hofmann) and Martha (Lisa Vicari) destined to experience their tragic love story across increasingly stratified generations, they would have an entire new reality to contend with. Season...

The final mystifying chronological loop of Netflix’s Dark is quickly approaching, signifying the end of the worldwide-popular German sci-fi series.
Indeed, the ordeal of the time-trapped Jonas (Louis Hofmann)—and love interest Martha (Lisa Vicari)—will come to a colossal coda against the threat of quantum doom. The first season of Dark—after initially teasing the story of disappeared children—focused on seemingly supernatural secrets in its German small-town setting, eventually revealing the existence of three wormholes beneath its nuclear power plant, each connected to time periods in 2019, 1986 and 1953, respectively. As time progressed in Season 2, the three time periods became 2020, 1987 and 1954. The phenomenon was a game-changing revelation, proving that the series had ambitions beyond the morose whodunnit murder mystery it first appeared to be, successfully shaking off early comparisons to Netflix’s Stranger Things juggernaut.

Oliver Kienle's third film is a romantic comedy that proves once again that opposites attract. On 7 June, Oliver Kienle wrapped principal photography for his third feature, following Stronger Than Blood (2010) and Four Hands (2017): the romantic comedy Isi & Ossi is a Netflix title that was shot in one month in Berlin and Baden-Württemberg, as well as Mannheim and Heidelberg. The director penned the movie himself. The protagonists of this love story, played by Lisa Vicari and Dennis Mojen, are polar opposites: Isi is a billionaire’s daughter from Heidelberg, while Ossi is a struggling boxer from nearby Mannheim. When they meet, their first thought is that they can take advantage of each other: she dates him to provoke her parents and to get them to fund her dream to train as a chef in New York; he wants to rip off the rich girl to finance his first...

The second season of “Dark” ends with far more questions than answers, but for the love of all that is unholy, some of those answers are completely and utterly bananas. Which is to say, they’re everything a “Dark” fan could ask for.
In the series, the town of Winden has been experiencing mysterious child abductions that turn out to be linked to an epic battle between good and evil. Teenager Jonas Kahnwald (Louis Hofmann) is at the center of the melee and travels back and forth through time in an attempt to save Winden and everyone he loves from an impending nuclear holocaust. As more and more Winden residents begin to also hop around through time, they’re shocked to learn just how connected they all are.
And yes, this is even crazier than Season 1’s shocker that the boy Mikkel (Daan Lennard Liebrenz), who goes missing in 2019, actually...

Netflix’s German supernatural mystery thriller doesn’t fit neatly into any puzzle box, but it sure is addictive and intriguing. Initially built around the case of a missing boy in Winden, “Dark” quickly bursts through the confines of the small town — not by reaching beyond its borders, but beyond its time. The curious time travel element, however, is a tricky one, and two warring forces are trying to control it. Unfortunately, it seems that many young boys have been caught in the middle.
The time travel occurs in 33-year increments, which creates a curious connection with Winden’s past, present, and future. In particular, viewers have gotten to know the young, middle-aged, and older versions of the same characters that hail from a few major families. Trying to keep the various surnames, generations, and each person’s secrets straight is difficult enough, but throw in a kidnapping priest,...

A first trailer just dropped for Khaled Kaissar's directorial debut "Luna's Revenge" which recently premiered at the Film Fest Munich. Featuring many German stars such as Bibiana Beglau, Benjamin Sadler, Branko Tomovic, Rainer Bock, Annika Blendl, Alexander Beyer, Genija Rykova and Lisa Vicari in the title role, this certainly looks very promising. Luna, a smart, self-possessed and carefree 17-year-old, is spending her summer vacation in an idyllic mountain chalet with her family, when their holiday harmony suddenly becomes a nightmare: Foreign men take the family hostage and kill her parents and little sister. Luna only barely manages to escape, chased by the killers. Soon she has to find out they all were living a lie: Her dad was a Russian secret agent, their wholesome family...

Directed by: Tim Fehlbaum
Written by: Tim Fehlbaum, Oliver Kahl, Thomas Wobke
Featuring: Hannah Herzsprung, Stipe Erceg, Angela Winkler, Lisa Vicari, Michael Kranz, Lars Eidinger
For quite a while now, environmental horror has been the province of mostly North American productions. For some reason, the apocalypse just doesn't seem quite as popular in Europe. But that changes with Tim Fehlbaum's feature debut, the 2011 post-global warming potboiler, the rather amusingly titled Hell (in some parts of the world it's been released as the even more generic Apocalypse). Produced by Roland Emmerich (of course it is), Hell is a good deal less stupid than Emmerich's own 2012 or The Day After Tomorrow, but it never quite gets out of second gear.
A hurried text piece sets up the story: In 2016, a series of massive solar flares have raised the earth's temperature by 10 degrees Celsius and made the sun burn brighter than ever.

After the alien invasion of Independence Day, a new Ice Age in The Day After Tomorrow and a deluge caused by the collapse of the Earth's crust in 2012, director Roland Emmerich said he was done with disaster films.
Well, not quite. No one does an apocalypse quite like Emmerich and the German filmmaker is an executive producer on new film Hell, which is released on DVD and Blu-ray in the UK today (July 2, 2012).
Directed by Tim Fehlbaum, the German sci-fi production is billed as a "searing sci-fi thriller about the terrifying lengths humans will go to survive."
It enjoyed a 2011 theatrical release in Germany, Russia, Poland and Japan, as well as being screened at several European festivals.

Produced by Roland Emmerich (2012, The Day After Tomorrow) Hell is the story of a post-apocalyptic future where the sun has scorched the Earth and left it too bright to inhabit, turning the entire world into a baked and barren wasteland. Forests are scorched. Animal carcasses line the roads. Even the nights are dazzlingly bright. Marie, her little sister Leonie and Phillip are heading for the mountains. Rumour has it that water can still be found there but it is a hazardous trip into the unknown. Despite their struggle to overcome the odds, the threesome are lured into an ambush by a twisted “family” of survivalists and then the real battle begins…

Many directors are beginning to get as much credit for films they produce rather than direct as evidenced by Joss Whedon's recent credit for The Cabin in the Woods (though, Whedon did co-write it) or Todd Phillips on Project X. Now Roland Emmerich is getting in the game as I just received an email with the subject line "Roland Emmerich's Hell Artwork & Release Info." I though to myself, Roland Emmerich made a movie called Hell? The answer is "No", but that's not what they want you to think as Emmerich produced the upcoming film which is directed by Tim Fehlbaum and will hit video on demand on August 9 and DVD on August 21.

Director: Tim Fehlbaum.
Writers: Tim Fehlbaum and Oliver Kahl.
Cast: Hannah Herzsprung, Lars Eidinger, and Lisa Vicari.
Hell is an amazing film. Shot in Germany and France, this is a German language film that takes place in a future world wracked by solar flares. The temperature has risen ten degrees and so has the tension between characters and societal groups. In fact, certain families have turned against humanity entirely. And really Hell is a film about the positive qualities of humanity vs anti-humanity in a devastating and dangerous environment.
The humanity and the optimism comes from characters Marie and Tom. Marie is the sister to Lisa and she will do anything for her. Her loyalty is a positive quality of humanity and this characteristic is necessary when facing people who supplement their diets in unusual ways. Tom is a survivalist. He fights when it is necessary and he fights for what is right.

The temperature has risen ten degrees and so has the tension between characters and societal groups. In fact, certain families have turned against humanity entirely. And really Hell is a film about the positive qualities of humanity vs anti-humanity in a devastating and dangerous environment.
The humanity and the optimism comes from characters Marie and Tom. Marie is the sister to Lisa and she will do anything for her. Her loyalty is a positive quality of humanity and this characteristic is necessary when facing people who supplement their diets in unusual ways. Tom is a survivalist. He fights when it is necessary and he fights for what is right.

We've been following this little known German post-apocalyptic film produced by Roland Emmerich for quite a while now. Originally called 2016: The End of Night, the film has gone through some transformations since production began and is now called, simply, Hell.
Looking at this first clip from the film it's clear why the film's title was changed. This is not your typical, glossy Emmerich production. Rather it's a washed out, dusty pallet that eschews monsters for good-old-fashioned man versus man terror. This is truly a hell on earth.
