is continuing its push into feature film with a slew of high-profile projects, including an upcoming Siegfried and Roy biopic and a sequel to the 2014 historical epic “The Physician,” starring Tom Payne .
Set for release this year is Leonine’s family drama “God You’re Such a Prick” from director André Erkau and starring Til Schweiger.The company also produced its first feature for Netflix, Cüneyt Kaya’s “Rising High,” about three fraudsters who set out to make it big by manipulating Berlin’s booming real estate market. The pic also features Kross, alongside Frederick Lau and Janina Uhse.
“Netflix is pushing a lot of money in the so-called one-off mini-movies, so that could be a market for the future,” he adds. “There’s a lot going on at the moment.” UFA has tapped multihyphenate Michael Bully Herbig to write and direct its upcoming Siegfried and Roy biopic, one of the company’s highest-profile projects to date. Hofmann secured rights to Siegfried Fischbacher and Roy Uwe Horn’s life story in 2016, beating out a number of other high-profile offers. The biopic, which has been in development for more than two years, is planned as a theatrical release that will be expanded to a limited TV series.
