During an interview with Scorpions Brazil, Scorpions’ Klaus Meine offered an update on the band’s new biopic “Wind Of Change.” He says the film will “start shooting around May.”
Meine said the following:
“Well, movies [are] also something that takes some time until things get rolling. And right now we hope later this year the biopic will be out all over the world. They start filming in a few months. Right now [they are] working on the script and working on the actors, to find the right characters who play the band. It’s not so easy to find five Brad Pitts.”
He continued when asked if the band are involved in the casting and screenplay:
“Yeah, we participate in the script and when they go for the first checking out who can play Rudolf [Schenker], Matthias [Jabs] and myself. So we stay in close touch with our friend Ali Afshar, who is the producer of this movie. And he has a great team, and he has a big heart, and he loves the band and he will make a very special biopic, because he’s in it, together with this team, really with heart and soul. You can tell.”
He also added the following about release plans:
“Unfortunately, it’s too early. They start shooting around May, and then I have no idea. Hopefully in the fall. It would be great. But with these filmmaking issues, you really never know. There are a million things that can go great or can go wrong. So what do we know? We’re part of it and we support the team. But they have a clear concept about the movie and the script is pretty cool as well. But if there are things to change along the way… We’re part of it, but we stand watching with a lot of excitement. And hopefully it will be as great as the filmmakers think it will be.”
