Wotan Wilke Möhring assumes the role of Old Shatterhand
in the new RTL-miniseries. The films will be shown on TV at Christmas 2016.
This summer, the shooting will commence for a new TV
miniseries based on themes by Karl May, according to recent publications in
Croatia. The first signed actor is now known
and officially confirmed: Wotan Wilke Möhring, known among other things
for his role in crime films, takes on the role of Old Shatterhand. Who will
play the role Winnetou? Apparently is not yet clear. Production of the new
films from RatPack Films, Mythos Film and Rialto Film is lead by director
Philipp Stölzl ("Goethe").
"I hope that the films are supported in the spirit
of Karl May: also" stated the original Winnetou "Pierre Brice, who
said, “A parody would be the most fatal for me that you could do to his books
and films of the 1960s," said Brice to Bild newspaper. The idea to act as
Winnetou's father, on the other hand does not seem to entice Brice’s
enthusiasm.
Also further in the planning stage is a film project, the
Aventine Film, which is supported in this endeavor exclusively by
Karl-May-Verlag. "Winnetou I" is to be begin in the autumn of this
year with release in 2016 in the cinema. In contrast to the Rat Pack production
that relies on locations in Croatia, some scenes in America are to be shot at
Aventine.
