Teaser Trailer: MOONFALL by Roland Emmerich – Release date February 4th 2022
Moonfall – Trailer (deutsch/german)
Eine mysteriöse Kraft hat den Mond aus seiner Umlaufbahn gestoßen und schickt ihn auf Kollisionskurs mit der Erde. Das Leben, wie wir es kennen, droht für immer ausgelöscht zu werden. Nur wenige Wochen vor der herannahenden Katastrophe ist die ehemalige Astronautin und NASA-Offizierin Jo Fowler (Haley Berry) überzeugt zu wissen, wie sie die Menschheit retten kann. Doch nur zwei Mitstreiter sind auf ihrer Seite: Astronaut und Ex-Kollege Brian Harper (Patrick Wilson) und der Verschwörungstheoretiker K.C. Houseman (John Bradley). Das kleine Team startet zu einer allerletzten Mission ins Weltall und macht eine unglaubliche Entdeckung: Unser Mond ist nicht das, was wir immer glaubten…
Nach „The Day After Tomorrow“ und “2012” kommt Roland Emmerich zurück zu dem Genre, für das ihn seine Fans am meisten lieben, und begeistert mit starbesetztem Blockbusterkino, fulminanter Action und atemberaubenden Bildern. Mit viel Power und Smartness führt Jo Fowler alias Halle Berry („John Wick 3“) den Cast um Patrick Wilson („Conjuring“-Trilogie) und John Bradley („Game of Thrones“) an. An ihrer Seite sind u.a. Michael Peña („Narcos“), Charlie Plummer („Eine wie Alaska“) und Schauspiellegende Donald Sutherland („The Undoing“) zu sehen.
Roland Emmerich schrieb das Drehbuch zu MOONFALL zusammen mit seinen langjährigen Partnern Harald Kloser („The Day After Tomorrow“), mit dem er unter anderem auch an dem Blockbuster „2012“ arbeitete, und Spenser Cohen („Extinction“). Die Produktion lag bei Roland Emmerichs Centropolis Entertainment.

The producer Katarzyna Gromadzka, the Head of the Children’s and Youth Department of the RTP chain Andrea Basílio, the creator and producer Alex Laffaille and the director and screenwriter José Luis Ucha will be in charge of elucidating the list of winners of this edition.

THE SAUSAGE RUN erzählt eine Variation des Grimm-Märchens Rotkäppchen.
Rotkäppchens Familie wird dargestellt als Schafe (Rotkäppchen, Mutter und Großvater). Die Mutter sorgt sich um den Großvater, der im Wald lebt. Sie schickt Rotkäppchen mit einem warmen Pullover zu ihm. Der Wolf ist ein Metzger in Menschengestalt. Er hat ein gravierendes Vorratsproblem, Kühlraum und Verkaufstheken sind leer. Er folgt dem Lamm, sein Messer wetzend. Der Jäger und seine Frau sind Hunde. Sie streiten sich um die Wurst, bis plötzlich die Schafsmutter am Telefon um Hilfe ruft.
Der Film wurde unter anderem von HessenFilm, dem Beauftragten der Bundesregierung für Kultur und Medien (BKM), von der Deutschen Filmförderungsanstalt (FFA), vom belgischen ‚The Flanders Audiovisual Fund‘ (VAF) sowie über Crowdfunding und mit Hilfe privater Kredite finanziert.
Wie bei seinem letzten mit 43 Preisen ausgezeichneten Experimentalfilm VIRTUOS VIRTUELL begibt sich der Filmkünstler bei seinem neuen Film mit der gewählten Bildsprache in filmisches Neuland. Die Handlung findet in historischen Bildbetrachtungsgeräten statt, eine Erfindung aus der Zeit der Brüder Grimm und ein Vorläufer der Filmtechnik. Mit Zoetropen (in Deutsch: Wundertrommeln) ist es möglich, gezeichnete Bilder in Bewegung zu betrachten.
Thomas Stellmach erforscht mit THE SAUSAGE RUN, ob sich mit diesen primitiven optischen Geräten eine Geschichte erzählen lässt.
