An apartment becomes a trap in the trailer for Brick, which brings to mind Cube and The Platform.

The mysterious sci-fi thriller drops July 10 on Netflix.

Tim and Olivia awake trapped in their apartment behind an impenetrable, futuristic wall which has materialized overnight… and they are not alone. The entire building and its residents seem to be enclosed.

What happened? Who built that wall and why? Without any chance of outside help, they must band together to find a way out. Can they solve the mystery of the wall in time — and survive?

Friend Request co-writer Philip Koch writes and directs the German film.

The post ‘Brick’ Trailer – ‘Cube’ Meets ‘The Platform’ in Netflix’s Sci-Fi Mystery Thriller appeared first on Bloody Disgusting!.

Four years after sharing the screen in the Army of the Dead prequel Army of Thieves for the Netflix streaming service, actors (and real-life couple) Matthias Schweighöfer and Ruby O. Fee have teamed up again for another Netflix project, the thriller Brick. The film is set for a global streaming release on July 10th, and with that date just four weeks away, a trailer has dropped online. You can check it out in the embed above.

Brick has the following synopsis: Tim (Matthias Schweighöfer) and Olivia (Ruby O. Fee) awake trapped in their apartment behind an impenetrable, futuristic wall which has materialized overnight… and they are not alone. The entire building and its residents seem to be enclosed. What happened overnight? Who built that wall and why? Without any chance of outside help, they must band together to find a way out. Can they solve the mystery of the wall in time and survive?...

"What if the wall is a code? A code for what...?" Netflix has revealed an official trailer for a thriller titled Brick, arriving to watch in July this summer. Not to be confused with Rian Johnson's classic Brick. This German thriller is directed by Philip Koch and is getting a global push - this trailer is dubbed in English. They want to leave, but their apartment won’t let them. A mysterious thriller about a home that becomes a trap. Tim & Olivia awake one morning trapped in their apartment behind an impenetrable, futuristic wall which has materialized overnight. Where did it come from and why? Soon they found out that others in their apartment complex have the same problem. Without any chance of outside help, all of the neighbors must band together to find a way out.

Netflix released their Summer 2025 movie lineup this morning, and while you won’t find any real horror on the list, there was one movie that at least caught our attention.

Matthias Schweighöfer (Zack Snyder’s Army of the Dead) stars in the upcoming horror-thriller Brick, which will begin streaming exclusively on Netflix on July 10, 2025.

In the film, “Tim (Matthias Schweighöfer) and Olivia (Ruby O. Fee) awake trapped in their apartment behind an impenetrable, futuristic wall which has materialized overnight … and they are not alone. The entire building and its residents seem to be enclosed.

“What happened? Who built that wall and why? Without any chance of outside help, they must band together to find a way out. Can they solve the mystery of the wall in time — and survive?”

Philip Koch directed Netflix Original Brick, which also stars Frederick Lau, Salber Lee Williams, Murathan Muslu, Axel Werner, Sira-Anna Faal, and Alexander Beyer.

For fans of international TV, news of the return of South Korean smash hit Squid Game for a third and final season was the big takeaway from Netflix’s global program showcase this week. But beyond the bloodsport, Netflix’s international line-up included several tantalizing new projects, featuring some of the world’s biggest stars, including French actor Omar Sy, German talent Matthias Schweighöfer, and Mexican VIP Alfonso Herrera, who all unveiled new local originals for the streaming giant.

Sy, who went from local to global superstar on the back of Netflix’s Lupin, will bring his latest feature, French Lover, to the platform this year. The romantic drama sees Sy falling for Marion (The Bureau actress Sara Giraudeau), the literal girl next door. Schweighöfer, whose 2021 action comedy Army of Thieves, was a surprise hit for Netflix, returns with Brick, from Tribes of Europe director Philip Koch. The high-concept sci-fi...

The always charming Matthias Schweighfer spoke with MovieWeb's Greg Archer about his new music biopic, Girl You Know It's True, an '80s period piece about the man and band that scammed the world, Milli Vanilli. Schweighfer also touched on Brick, his upcoming sci-fi film for Netflix with his partner, Ruby O. Fee. Girl You Know It's True hits theaters on August 9th, 2024.

Nominated in the Best German Actor category at the 2024 Jupiter Awards for his role, Schweighfer is compelling as Frank Farian, the man behind the creation of superstar R&b duo Milli Vanilli in this fast-paced, 80s-set music industry cautionary tale. Under the name Milli Vanilli, Rob Pilatus and Fab Morvan storm the international charts, land three number one hits in the USA and enjoy the extravagant life in Hollywood. At the height of their fame, Rob and Fab even win a Grammy,...

Swedish director Ruben Östlund, who won Cannes Film Festival’s Palme d’Or for “The Square” and “Triangle of Sadness,” was among the guests at the German Films and Medienboard Reception on May 18 in the garden of the Mondrian Hotel in Cannes.

Östlund, who is in the Riviera resort to promote his latest production, “The Entertainment System Is Down,” was accompanied by Philippe Bober of Coproduction Office, one of the film’s producers, and Erik Hemmendorf of Plattform Produktion, Östlund’s Swedish producer. (They are pictured above.)

German Films, which is celebrating its 70th anniversary this year, was represented at the event by managing director Simone Baumann, and Medienboard, which is a film fund for the Berlin-Brandenburg region, was represented by its CEO Kirsten Niehuus. Variety was the media partner for the reception.

Among the other guests attending were Karim Aïnouz, director of “Motel Destino,” which plays in this year’s Competition section at Cannes.

Juliette Binoche, Sally El Hosaini and Isabel Coixet, are among the six filmmakers taking part in anthology film Bike Me Up, which will shoot across six European cities this summer, celebrating the locations’ relationships with cycling.

Binoche will make her debut as writer and director for the Paris film, in which she will star alongside Ralph Fiennes. London will be written and directed by El Hosaini and feature James Krishna Floyd. Berlin will be directed by Matthias Schweighöfer and star himself and Ruby O. Fee.

The Barcelona segment will be helmed by Coixet, while Bucharest will be written and directed by Cristina Jacob.

Netflix has furthered its commitment to German production with an expanded slate of local projects.

At a showcase event in Berlin last night (March 13), Netflix announced a number of new titles, including feature Brick, which is currently being filmed and stars Matthias Schweighöfer, Ruby O. Fee and Frederick Lau.

Brick, about the residents of an apartment seeking a way out when their building is suddenly surrounded by a mysterious brick wall, is written and directed by Philip Koch and produced through Nocturna Productions and W&b Television.

Netflix’s focus on the German market is notable for coming at a time...

Confirming Germany’s importance as a growth market, Netfix on Wednesday announced 17 new and returning shows and movies produced by some of the country’s leading producers, including docuseries “Kaulitz & Kaulitz,” about the Tokio Hotel popstar siblings, and sci-fi drama “Cassandra,” about an overzealous electronic household helper.

Netflix presented 17 feature films, series, documentaries and reality shows at a special event in Berlin.

“We have seen again and again how local stories can captivate viewers here and around the world,” said Katja Hofem, Netflix’s VP of content for Germany, Austria and Switzerland. “We aim to continue this successful journey together with our partners, sharing a common goal of creating exceptional entertainment that moves and inspires people.”

Produced by Constantin Entertainment and premiering in June, “Kaulitz & Kaulitz” accompanies Tokio Hotel frontmen Bill and Tom Kaulitz, twin brothers from Magdeburg, Germany, on tour with their band and in their new home in Hollywood.

Netflix Germany unveiled a pair of feature films, including Wiedemann & Berg title Brick, true-crime docs and a reality competition series this evening at a showcase in Berlin.

The sizeable slate announcement, which comes a day before a similar UK event, is notable given that Germany’s TV producers have seen the likes of Sky Deutschland pull out of originals and Paramount+ changing direction in their local production efforts.

Among the new titles is feature Brick (working title), which is currently being filmed and stars the likes of Matthias Schweighöfer, Ruby O. Fee and Frederick Lau. Slated to launch in Germany, Austria and Switzerland (Dach) in 2025, the film follows a couple, Tim and Olivia, whose apartment building suddenly surrounded by a mysterious brick wall. They are forced to work with their neighbors to find a way out.

Ruby O. Fee may be a fresh face to many viewers, but the young actress already has plenty of titles under her belt, from both German and American media. Recently appearing in Netflix's Army of Thieves, Fee has gained quite a following, making her a rising star to watch out for in coming years.

Though she is still quite early in her career, Ruby O. Fee already has plenty of titles to choose from, which can get quite intimidating. However, Fee's new and old fans alike need not fear, for they have the opportunity to revisit her greatest works so far, both in television and film, by taking a look at which ones are the highest-rated on the Internet Movie Database.

Exclusive: Ruby O. Fee, who recently found a breakout role in Matthias Schweighöfer’s Army of Thieves, has signed with Paradigm for representation.

Fee is a German actress who plays master hacker Korina Dominguez in Netflix’s blockbuster prequel to Army of the Dead, produced by Zack Snyder. The film charted at #1 in more than 90 countries upon its October 29 release, and is currently ranked #3 worldwide, in its 3rd week on the streamer.

In 2019, Fee starred in the acclaimed Netflix film Polar, opposite Mads Mikkelsen and Vanessa Hudgens. She first rose to attention on the German TV series Allen gegen die Zeit (13 Hours: Race Against Time), playing the lead role of Sophie Kellerman.

Fee is also known for her work in the German language films The Invisibles, As We Were Dreaming and Womb, in which she played a young Eva Green.

The actress continues to be represented by Untitled Entertainment.

With the release of Army of the Dead, Netflix gave us a fun zombie film that was pretty throw away but promised more. One character that stole the movie though was Ludgwig Dieter (Matthias Schweighofer) so it’s only fair that a prequel, Army of Thieves, would focus on the safe cracking hero.

Living a boring life in Germany, we discover how Dieter became the legendary safe cracker he did. We also meet the titular Army of Thieves who worked with him to pull off some of the biggest European heists, before his sights were set on the zombie infested Las Vegas bank job.

Where Army of the Dead was more about non-stop high-action zombie battles, in Army of Thieves they are little more than anxiety nightmares and perhaps premonitions for Dieter.

"Army of Thieves" is the new romantic comedy-heist prequel to Zack Snyder's "Army Of The Dead", directed by Matthias Schweighöfer and produced by Snyder, starring Schweighöfer, Nathalie Emmanuel, Guz Khan, Ruby O. Fee, Stuart Martin, Jonathan Cohen, Noemie Nakai and Peter Simonischek, now streaming on Netflix:

"...the story takes place six years before the events of 'Army of the Dead', during the beginning stages of the zombie outbreak, and follows 'Ludwig Dieter' in his early days of safecracking...

"...as he is hired by a mysterious woman to pull off a heist with the help of a misfit crew of aspiring thieves..."

If Hans Landa and Danny Ocean had a son, he might have turned out something like Sebastian (Matthias Schweighöfer), the talky, insanely gifted, but insecure hero of “Army of Thieves.” A Berlin office teller who hides his mojo behind an earnestly chirpy German accent, he’s an obsessive amateur safecracker — not a crook but a kind of savant hobbyist who dreams of unlocking metal fortress vaults the way a young theater bug in the Midwest might fantasize about making his Broadway debut.

“Army of Thieves” is a prequel to “Army of the Dead,” the Zack Snyder apocalyptic zombie heist thriller in which Sebastian — known, at that point, as Dieter — hooked up with a team of thieves in Vegas. Snyder’s movie, released just five months ago, was an entertainingly overstuffed genre mash-up. “Army of Thieves,” directed by its star, Matthias Schweighöfer (from a script by Snyder and Shay Hatten), is...

Netflix’s zombie smash hit “Army of the Dead” has a prequel coming this fall from the original film’s star, Matthias Schweighöfer. He’s the director and star of “Army of Thieves,” the set-up film to Zack Snyder’s wildly popular zombie movie. Schweighöfer plays small-town bank teller Dieter, who gets drawn into the adventure of a lifetime when a mysterious woman recruits him to join a crew of Interpol’s most wanted criminals attempting to heist a sequence of legendary, impossible-to-crack safes across Europe. Watch the official trailer below before the movie arrives on the streaming platform on October 29.

The screenplay comes from Shay Hatten, who co-wrote “Army of the Dead” with Joby Harold. The cast of “Army of Thieves” includes Nathalie Emmanuel, Ruby O. Fee, Stuart Martin, Guz Khan, and Jonathan Cohen. Producers are Zack Snyder, Deborah Snyder, Wesley Coller, Dan Maag, and Schweighöfer, from a story developed by Snyder and Hatten.

Despite his exit from Warner Bros’ big-screen DC movie universe, director Zack Snyder isn’t done with shared universes just yet. And while his tenure as the creative lead of the Dceu, which culminated with this year’s Snyder Cut of Justice League, may have been polarizing to say the least, the Army of the Dead director may actually be just what Netflix needed.

After years of chasing ways to build its own coveted blockbuster shared universe, such as with its failed attempt to launch a superhero universe based on Mark Millar’s Jupiter’s Legacy, the streaming service finally seems to have the foundation it was looking for with Snyder’s return to the genre that turned him into an A-lister back in 2004. In fact, Army of the Dead was originally conceived as a sequel to Snyder’s Dawn of the Dead remake, but almost two decades later, it’s grown much bigger than that.

With around 72 million households expected to be tuning in over the next four weeks since the movie's premiere on Netflix, Army of the Dead is projected to be one of the most-watched movies ever released on the streamer in its first four weeks. From director Zack Snyder, whose directorial debut was the 2004 zombie flick Dawn of the Dead, the movie was one of the most anticipated releases of the year. That shows with the tremendously high viewership pulled in on Netflix, as touted by the streamer with a post on Twitter.

"72 million households are betting on dead," the tweet reads. "Army of the Dead has been the #1 film around the world and is projected to be one of Netflix's most popular films ever in its first 4 weeks."

Director Zack Snyder says he's up for doing a sequel to this past weekend's Netflix debut of Army of the Dead, but only if there's a "desire" from the fans to see it. On May 21, the anticipated zombie flick premiered on Netflix, and there were many fans that were left wanting to see more. There are two prequel projects currently in the works, but as of now, there isn't a plan to continue the story from Army of the Dead in a potential sequel.

Without getting into specific spoilers here, one actor whose character managed to survive the gory movie revealed in a recent talk with Entertainment Tonight that there "definitely have been some talks about the maybes, the maybes and the ifs" when it comes to doing a sequel. Snyder then made it clear that Army of the Dead 2 will happen if enough fans want it, adding the he's...

Director Zack Snyder's balls-to-the-wall zombie heist movie is gearing up to explode onto Netflix next week, and now, more details have been revealed about the upcoming prequel, Army of Thieves. Directed by one of the stars of Army of the Dead, Matthias Schweighöfer, Army of Thieves will offer some insight into the early days of the zombie outbreak, with the new logline revealing that it will involve, wait for it, another heist!

"A mysterious woman recruits bank teller Dieter to assist in a heist of impossible-to-crack safes across Europe."

Matthias Schweighöfer will be directing the project from a screenplay by Shay Hatten and a story by Zack Snyder and Hatten, with Zack Snyder and Deborah Snyder also on board as producers. Along with directing duties, Schweighöfer will reprise his Army of the Dead role as Ludwig Dieter, and will be joined by Game of Thrones and Fast and Furious star Nathalie Emmanuel as Gwendoline.

From the rich historical archives of WWII comes another true tale of struggle and survival, when Hitler and his cronies enacted the”Final Solution”. So what makes this film special? Well, it was produced and filmed in Germany and mixes real footage with actual interviews of the people who lived the story. The biggest twist is that it doesn’t focus on families fleeing the country and blending in or going “underground” in those nearby foreign lands. This is about the Jews who would not leave their homeland, risking their lives to “hide in plain sight” (sometimes even venturing from the closets and attics to walk the streets). Another unique aspect of this film is that it’s almost an anthology, splitting the narrative amongst a quartet of youths barely past their teens. It is set in Berlin, so some of the principals often run into the same people, though the main four never meet.

Directed by Jonas Åkerlund, Polar is the latest graphic novel adaption in the world of cinema, in particular, to hit Netflix. Starring Mads Mikkelsen as retired assassin Duncan Vizla hunted down by the shady assassin syndicate who once employed his services as a seasoned killer. The result, while enjoyable on occasion with a multitude of outrageous action set pieces is on a whole overabundantly dependable on a repellent colour grading and boorish style with peevish misogyny.

Polar offers a great deal of bloodshed and abstract character yet sadly thinks they’re the highlight of a picture that denies the audience even a minuscule or basic form of personal engagement or depth.

German filmmaker Florian Henckel von Donnersmark made a splash in the foreign language box office over a decade ago with The Lives of Others, which took the Oscar for Best Foreign Language film. He is back again with Sony Pictures Classics for Never Look Away, which is also vying for Oscar this year. Also out in theaters beginning Friday is Greenwich Entertainment’s WWII-era drama, The Invisibles, which was the first pick up for the company back in 2017. And on a decidedly different note, Cinedigm is mixing camp and horror with Dead Ant starring Tom Arnold and Sean Astin.

Also this weekend, Focus Features is taking Spike Lee’s BlacKkKlansman back to theaters following its six Oscar nominations. The company said the film, which grossed over $48.5M in its initial run in theaters starting last August, will play 168 theaters around the country beginning Friday. Said Focus president Lisa Bunnell, “We...

It would be one thing if “Polar” were director Jonas Åkerlund’s satirical send-up of American hyper-stylized, hyper-violent exploitative genre pictures. But it’s not — or at least it arrives a decade too late to register as such. What’s clear is that this abhorrent actioner (an adaptation of Victor Santos’ graphic novel “Polar: Came From the Cold”) about a morally conflicted hitman with a price on his head is vulgar auteurism at its most depraved. It even has the audacity to cloak many of its repugnant sentiments and debauchery in the guise of female empowerment. Gratuitous sex, gruesome torture, copious amounts of gore, and garish imagery populate the picture. Those qualities might be reason enough for some to watch, although a great many others would do well to scroll right past it on their Netflix feeds.

In 1943, Joseph Goebbels proudly declared Berlin “free of Jews.” Though he did come markedly close to his goal, around 1,700 Jews managed to endure in secret through the war. “The Invisibles” tells the stories of a few of these survivors, bringing their astonishing histories to life in straightforward but consistently compelling fashion.

Director Claus Räfle interviews four Jews who are now in their 90s, all of whom eloquently share their experiences as teenagers in Berlin. Interspersed with their memories are dramatic re-enactments, a risky approach handled with enough skill to add to the film’s depth.

Hanni Weissenberg was an orphan when she was forced, at 17, into a terrifying homelessness. As played in flashback by Alice Dwyer, she dyes her hair blonde and spends her days seeking refuge in movie theaters. Every soldier who flirts with her brings untold danger, but one winds up offering crucial salvation.
