World Premiere in Berlin: Studio Babelsberg Production THE GRAND BUDAPEST HOTEL to Open the 64th Berlinale
(firmenpresse) - (DGAP-Media / 06.11.2013 / 15:42)
The 64th Berlin International Film Festival will open on February 6, 2014
with the world premiere of Wes Anderson's The Grand Budapest Hotel. The
film was produced by Studio Babelsberg at the beginning of the year with an
international ensemble cast. It was filmed entirely on location in Germany,
mainly in Gorlitz and other parts of Saxony as well as at Studio
Babelsberg.
Christoph Fisser, COO of Studio Babelsberg and co-producer:
'It's fantastic that the world premiere of The Grand Budapest Hotel will
take place at the Berlinale. The collaboration with Wes Anderson and his
team was unique and we are very proud of the film. Our film crew and set
construction team have turned Anderson's visions and ideas into reality, in
particular the film sets with attention to detail and elaborate production
design. With the art nouveau department store in Görlitz, built in 1913, we
found the perfect backdrop for the main hotel set. The Berlinale audience
can look forward to a great film with many stars'.
The Grand Budapest Hotel is a UK-German co-production, produced by Grand
Budapest Limited (UK) and Studio Babelsberg (Germany). Wes Anderson, Scott
Rudin, Steven M. Rales and Jeremy Dawson are the producers. Christoph
Fisser, Charlie Woebcken and Henning Molfenter from Studio Babelsberg are
the executive producers.
The Grand Budapest Hotel was funded by the German Federal Film Fund (DFFF),
Mitteldeutsche Medienförderung (MDM), Medienboard Berlin-Brandenburg as
well as Medien- und Filmgesellschaft Baden-Württemberg (MFG).
The Grand Budapest Hotel (UK/Germany) recounts the adventures of Gustave H,
a legendary concierge at a famous European hotel between the wars, and Zero
Moustafa, the lobby boy who becomes his most trusted friend. The story
involves the theft and recovery of a priceless Renaissance painting and the
battle for an enormous family fortune - all against the backdrop of a
suddenly and dramatically changing continent.
In addition to starring Ralph Fiennes and Tony Revolori in the lead roles,
the film also features F. Murray Abraham, Mathieu Amalric, Adrien Brody,
Willem Dafoe, Jeff Goldblum, Harvey Keitel, Jude Law, Bill Murray, Edward
Norton, Saoirse Ronan, Jason Schwartzman, Tilda Swinton, Léa Seydoux, Tom
Wilkinson and Owen Wilson.
Fox Searchlight Pictures will release The Grand Budapest Hotel in US
cinemas on March 7, 2014. In Europe, the film will open in cinemas from
February through March 2014.
