According to Deadline, Scorpions’ new biopic, “Wind Of Change,” will be hitting North American theaters in March 2027 via Roadside Attractions. A German release is also planned for January 28.
Prentiss Fraser, president of Fox Entertainment Global, said the following:
“The Scorpions remain true global rock stars, continuing to sell out venues around the world, from their native Germany to Mexico and the U.S., while their music continues to resonate across generations. ‘Wind Of Change’ captures the compelling journey of a band whose ambitions extended far beyond fame — whose music crossed borders and bridged political divides, inspiring profound change. It is a film with iconic music, a powerful story that can connect with viewers well beyond the band’s longtime fans, and the scale and energy of a major theatrical experience — one we’re proud to bring to audiences alongside our great partners at Roadside Attractions and Warner Bros. Germany.”
Roadside Attractions co-presidents Howard Cohen and Eric D’Arbeloff added:
“The Scorpions’ iconic hits helped define the MTV generation, but few know the extraordinary story of their dream to take their music beyond the Iron Curtain. What makes their story so powerful today is their belief that artists can inspire people to change the world.”
As previously reported, the movie was directed by Alex Ranarivelo and produced by ESX Entertainment for Fox Entertainment. The cast includes Alexander Dreymon as guitarist Rudolf Schenker, Ludwig Trepte as singer Klaus Meine, Ed Speleers as guitarist Matthias Jabs, Luke Brandon Field as drummer Herman Rarebell, Dominic West as manager Doc McGhee, and David Kross as Andrej, a friend of the band imprisoned on the other side of the Berlin Wall.
