The first trailer for drama series “Other People’s Money,” which has its world premiere at the Berlin Film Festival, debuts here. Variety spoke to its producers and the creator-showrunner about how they crafted the show, which is inspired by the real story of the biggest tax fraud in European history. Beta Film is handling worldwide sales on the series.
The first four episodes of “Other People’s Money” will world premiere in Berlin at 3.30 p.m. on Feb. 20 at the prestigious Zoo Palast movie theater, followed by a Q&a with cast and crew.
The project started when Michael Polle at X Filme Creative Pool, the company behind “Babylon Berlin,” joined forces with True Content Entertainment’s Ole Søndberg, whose credits include “The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo.” Their objective was to tell the true story of how a criminal network of mega-rich investors, bankers and lawyers stole 146 billion euros ($150 billion) from European taxpayers.
