"Soon the world will know his name." Beta Film in Germany has debuted an official trailer for a German TV movie titled Louis van Beethoven, another re-examination of the life of this legendary classical musician. The film takes us through Ludwig van Beethoven's turbulent and whimsical life, including his early years when he was known as "Louis", before eventually making his way to Vienna to study and develop his music at the end of the 18th century. The cast includes three different actors playing Beethoven at various ages: Tobias Moretti (as an adult), Colin Pütz (as a child), and Anselm Bresgott (as a teen). He's joined by Ulrich Noethen, Ronald Kukulies, Caroline Hellwig, Peter Lewys Preston, Silke Bodenbender, and Cornelius Obonya. It actually looks a bit better than a TV movie, although it also looks like another generic biopic, only seemingly shedding more light on his involvement in their changing times.
