Berlin-based Films in Motion is partnering with Czech producer Sirena Film and Norway’s Merkur Films on two World War II-related films that promise high-caliber talent both in front and behind the camera.
Films in Motion, headed by U.S. producer Rene Asch, has recruited German helmer Jo Baier (“Henry of Navarre”) and award-winning Swiss filmmaker Markus Imboden (“The Foster Boy”) for the projects, both penned by American writer J. Frank James.
Spanish sales company Moonrise Pictures has picked up world sale rights for both titles, which are set to go into production next year.
Baier is attached to helm “Bones of the Wise Man,” which will be co-produced by Sirena and shot entirely in Prague.
The film, about a mentally challenged man manipulated into embarking on a seemingly impossible mission, is set to star Max Hopp (“Who Am I — No System Is Safe”), Benjamin Sadler (“One Breath”), Steffi Kuehnert (“The White Ribbon”), Silke Bodenbender,...
