The cast members have been unveiled for the upcoming Scorpions biopic “Wind Of Change.” Among them are Alexander Dreymon (“The Last Kingdom”), who will play guitarist Rudolf Schenker, Ludwig Trepte (“Generation War”), which will play singer Klaus Meine, Ed Speleers (“You,” “Outlander”), who will play guitarist Matthias Jabs, Luke Brandon Field (“Interview With the Vampire”), who will play drummer Herman Rarebell, Dominic West (“The Crown,” “The Wire”), who will play manager Doc McGhee, and David Kross (“The Reader”), who will play Andrej, a friend of the band imprisoned on the other side of the Berlin Wall.
As previously reported, the movie is being directed by Alex Ranarivelo and produced by ESX Entertainment for Fox Entertainment Studios in association with Warner Bros. Filming is currently underway in London and it is expected to receive a theatrical debut in the U.S. later this year.
ESX Entertainment founder and president Ali Afshar said the following about the upcoming film:
“It’s been an unbelievable journey developing this film and bringing it to life feels surreal. Not only did the Scorpions’ music help me get through tremendous difficulties as an Iranian immigrant in America in the early 80’s, but their message of love, peace and rock ‘n’ roll seems more relevant today than ever. This cast is an amazing ensemble of truly great talent. I can’t thank Fox Entertainment and Warner Bros. Home Entertainment enough for their support and especially the band — Rudolf, Klaus and Matthias — for believing in us and trusting us to tell their life story.”
