This movie is scheduled to be published in late 2016 and marks the 10th anniversary of the premiere of "An Inspector Calls", Stephan Tauberts own first film, which took place in November 2006. It contains many allusions to his past films, because the protagonist, Phillip Herzog, is also an actor and has his films as his filmography.
Sound Recordist Andreas Müller died during filming in August 2016. The Movie will be dedicadet to him.
When Emilia Heinrich reads Phillip Herzogs biography, she's actually reading Christopher Reeve's autobiography "Still me".
This is the first time Marie Spinka is credited first in a Stephan Taubert movie.
This movie has a lot of intentional parallels to Christopher Reeve and his horse riding accident. Though the budget for this movie was not very high, sometimes things had to be changed. For example: Christopher Reeve broke his neck, Phillip Herzog his spinal cord and is paralysed from the waist down.
This is Stephan Tauberts 13th movie and marks the 10th anniversary of his first film An Inspector Calls (2006). It had found a producer and it could be made better than previously wanted. It was a story Stephan Taubert wanted to film since his teenage years. Christopher Reeve was his idol when he was younger and he did something similar like Emilia Heinrich (Marie Spinka) does in this film. He wanted this story to be as close as possible to the original.
During production there were sometimes a lot of difficulties. Filming was to begin in February 2016, but was moved back to March due to weather and equipment problems. Filming was supposed to end in September, but illnesses and other problems with locations caused it to take place in October. At the beginning an actor, who was supposed to play Rudolf Heinrich was diagnosed with cancer and a new one had to be found. Uwe Choroba took over the role.
The Opening Credits contain clips from all previous movies from Stephan Taubert, starting with An Inspector Calls (2006) until No Smoking! Kein Rauch ohne Feuer (2015). Movies, that are referenced (or clips shown) during the movie are Cast me! Die Show ihres Lebens (2015) and Aus dem Tagebuch eines Vaters (2011)
This movie was first to be filmed in 2014 with a different cast and a different (but similar) story. But due to a long illness Stephan Taubert could not film it and it was canceled. In late 2015 after finishing "No Smoking! Kein Rauch ohne Feuer!" (V) (2015) he choose it again to celebrate his 10th anniversary with it. The script could be improved and due to a larger budget it could be made a lot better.
Marie Spinka (Emilia Heinrich) and Paul Spinka (Oliver) play best friends, who are like siblings. They are brother and sister in real life.
When Emilia Heinrich (Marie Spinka) buys the DVDs at Media Markt, Brutus Schultze (Tom Müller) tells her he has a Phillip Herzog Movie Collection with movies like Patricia (2012). This was Stephan Tauberts 8th movie back in 2012 and starred Marie Spinka in the title role as Patricia.
This movie had 27 official shooting days between March and October 2016.
Stephan Tauberts favorite movie out of all the 13 ones he made until 2016.
