The German company has ordered an external investigation into what happened on the set of Schweiger's new film, 'Manta Manta 2,' where the actor-director, apparently drunk, had an altercation with a crewmember.
Moszkowicz said Constantin immediately canceled the day’s shoot and issued Schweiger a warning, saying he would be fired and fined if something similar happened again. The rest of the shoot, he said, proceeded without incident. He added that Constantin has retained an independent law firm to carry out a compliance investigation into the production, in part to look into other allegations of abuse and hazardous conditions during the shoot.
In the interview, Moszkowicz said he took the allegations against Schweiger very seriously and called for an “industry-wide code of conduct” to prevent such incidents in the future. German Culture Minister Claudia Roth has called for just such a move, saying if the industry can not regulate itself, the culture ministry, a major source of funding for German films, would make such regulations a requirement for receiving state subsidies.
“And I’ll say quite clearly: Even artistic geniuses — or allegedly artistic geniuses — are not above the law,” said Roth “The days when patriarchal machos who abused their position of power in the worst possible way should really be over. Even if obviously not everyone has understood that.” Constantin produced two films with Schweiger last year, but Moszkowicz said no further projects are planned. “I hope Til gets his problems under control,” he said.
