Exclusive: German actor Matthias Schweighöfer, who most recently starred in Oscar-winning film Oppenheimer, is joining forces with German director Erik Schmitt for upcoming project The Life of Wishes (working title).
The film, which is based on Thomas Glavinic’s best-selling novel Das Leben Der Wuensche, follows a disillusioned family man who is lost in a world where more is always better. When he is given the power to grant his every wish, he soon becomes confronted with his own dark and unconscious desires.
The film will be produced by Pantaleon Films’ Dan Maag, Marco Beckmann, Schweighöfer and Alexander Dreissig as well as ProU Producers United Film’s Willi Geike.
Fabian Gasmia of Seven Elephants, who most recently produced Lena Dunham and Stephen Fry starrer Treasure, will co-produce the project with Stefan Gärtner of SevenPictures Film. ProU Producers United Film will distribute the film in Germany and discussions for a sales agent are currently underway.
