German execs form new prod'n outfits
COLOGNE -- Proving there is life after bankruptcy even in the sickly German market, former managing director of Kinowelt Filmproduktion Ulrich Limmer and ex-VIF International Films head Wolfram Tichy have set up new production companies. Kinowelt filed for insolvency late last year and VIF went bust in June (HR 6/20). Limmer's new firm, Collina Film, will produce the sequel to hit German children's film Das Sams (The Slurb), which was released last year and made 7.7 million ($7.8 million) at the boxoffice. The film, based on best-selling children's books by Paul Maar, won German Film Awards for best children's film and best supporting actress for Eva Mattes. The sequel, Das Sams 2 -- Sams in Gefahr (The Slurb 2 -- Slurb in Danger) is set to begin production next year.
