Letzte Klappe an Jim Jarmuschs Set von “Only Lovers Left Alive”

“Sie ist gefallen, die letzte Klappe an Jim Jarmuschs Set für “Only Lovers Left Alive” in Köln.

Die Geschichte von “Only Lovers Left Alive” spielt in der romantischen Trostlosigkeit Detroits und Tangers. Ein zutiefst deprimierter, menschenmüder Underground-Musiker und seine starke und geheimnisvolle Geliebte finden wieder zusammen. Ihre Liebesgeschichte überdauert bereits mehrere Jahrhunderte, aber das leidenschaftliche Idyll wird durch ihre wilde und ungestüme jüngere Schwester zerstört… Werden es diese weisen aber fragilen Außenseiter schaffen, zu überleben, während die moderne Welt um sie herum zusammenbricht?

Für diese ungewöhnliche und einzigartige Liebesgeschichte vereinte Jarmusch ein großartiges Ensemble. Tilda Swinton, Tom Hiddleston, Mia Wasikowska, Anton Yelchin, kamen nach dem Drehauftakt Mitte Juli in Detroit und Hamburg auch nach Köln, wo ein Großteil der Dreharbeiten stattfand.

Nach dem Dreh eines Rockclubs am Originalschauplatz in Hamburg, wurde in den MMC Studios in Ossendorf sehr aufwändig die Wohnung des zurückgezogen lebenden Vampirs Adam nachgebaut.

Die 4-wöchigen Dreharbeiten in den Kölner Studios mit einer deutsch-europäischen Crew waren von einer intensiven und kreativen Zusammenarbeit aller Mitarbeiter, den Schauspielern und dem Regisseur geprägt.

Auch Jim Jarmusch war von den Dreharbeiten in Deutschland begeistert: “Thanks also to MMC Studios and their excellent facilities here in Köln. And, most personally, I want to thank all the amazing members of our crew and production for all their hard work, their invaluable contributions, and their incredible spirits. I will deeply miss working together with all these truly wonderful collaborators.”

Ein Teil diese hochgelobten Teams nahm Jarmusch dann noch mit auf die letzte Etappe nach Marokko. Dort vervollständigte John Hurt das Ensemble. Ende August fiel dann dort die letzte Klappe des Films.

Dieses “Traumprojekt”, wie Jarmusch den Film gerne nennt, wird ausführend von Recorded Pictures und Pandora Film als deutsch/französisch/cyprische Produktion, in Koproduktion mit Le Pacte (F), Sanderfin (CY) und Degeto Film hergestellt. Unterstützt wird der Film von der Film- und Medienstiftung NRW, der FFA, dem DFFF, der Filmförderung Hamburg Schleswig Holstein und dem Michigan Film Office.

Der deutsche Kinostart des Films wird von Pandora Film im Herbst nächsten Jahres geplant.

Only Lovers Left Alive - Cologne

If anyone met Tom (Tilda Swinton, Jim Jarmusch, Mia Wasikowska, Anton Yelchin or John Hurt) in Cologne, were they are filming ‘Only Lovers Left Alive’ at the moment, let us know…

So far it seems as the German fans won’t get a chance to meet any of them. Seems as they increased the safety measures after Detroit (which is, of course, also good).

Even Tom didn’t tweet that he’s in Cologne so far (like he did while they were filming in Detroit)… which is kinda sad, as it would be great to read some tweets from him about our hometown.

Jim Jarmusch Feature Only Lovers Left Alive Approved for Film Incentives

More information about ‘Only Lovers Left Alive’:

“LANSING – The Michigan Film Office announced today the feature film Only Lovers Left Alive has been approved for a film incentive from the state. Set in Detroit and Tangiers, the project will feature a wide range of Detroit locations and showcase some of Detroit’s influential sounds and diverse musical contributions throughout the soundtrack.

Written and directed by iconic independent filmmaker Jim Jarmusch, the film stars Tilda Swinton (We Need to Talk About Kevin, Michael Clayton), Tom Hiddleston (The Avengers, War Horse), Mia Wasikowska (Jane Eyre, Alice in Wonderland), John Hurt (Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy, the Harry Potter series), and Anton Yelchin (Star Trek, Terminator Salvation).

“Only Lovers Left Alive provides a compelling canvas to showcase the vibrant landscape and musical heritage of Detroit,” said Carrie Jones, director of the Michigan Film Office. “Having Jim Jarmusch, one of the most influential independent filmmakers in the industry today, bring this project to Michigan provides a significant opportunity to raise our profile as a top tier state for filmmaking.”

The project was awarded an incentive of $365,904 on $1,304,605 of projected in-state expenditures. The project expected to hire 82 Michigan workers with a full time equivalent of 6 jobs.

“Shooting here has been a great experience,” Jarmusch said. “The city and people of Detroit have a strong an unique spirit, and our local crew has been amazing – creative, hardworking, and very open to our unusual style of filmmaking. I send them my sincere appreciation and respect, as I do to the great city of Detroit.”

Set against the distinctive landscapes of Detroit and Tangiers, an underground musician (Tom Hiddleston), deeply depressed by the direction of human activities, reunites with his resilient and enigmatic lover (Tilda Swinton). Their love story has already endured several centuries at least, but their idyll is soon interrupted by her wild and uncontrollable younger sister (Mia Wasikowska).

Producers are Jeremy Thomas at Recorded Picture Company, and Reinhard Brundig at Pandora Film. International sales are being handled by HanWay Films. Only Lovers Left Alive aims to have its world premiere at a major international film festival in 2013…”
