SCORPIONS’ Biopic To Begin Shooting This May

Scorpions is set to begin filming their biopic Wind Of Change this May. The biopic chronicles Scorpions‘ 60 years as a band and is currently being developed and produced by ESX Entertainment. According to Scorpions frontman Klaus Meine in an interview with Scorpions Brazil, Wind Of Change doesn’t have a concrete release date and is only scheduled to begin filming in May.

“They start shooting around May, and then I have no idea,” said Meine. “Hopefully in the fall. It would be great. But with these filmmaking issues, you really never know. There are a million things that can go great or can go wrong. So what do we know? We’re part of it and we support the team. But they have a clear concept about the movie and the script is pretty cool as well. But if there are things to change along the way… We’re part of it, but we stand watching with a lot of excitement. And hopefully it will be as great as the filmmakers think it will be.”

Meine added that he hopes the film will be out later this year, and that Scorpions was involved in both the casting and the screenplay process.

“Yeah, we participate in the script and when they go for the first checking out who can play Rudolf [Schenker, Scorpions guitarist], Matthias [Scorpions guitarist] and myself. So we stay in close touch with our friend Ali Afshar [of ESX Entertainment], who is the producer of this movie. And he has a great team, and he has a big heart, and he loves the band and he will make a very special biopic, because he’s in it, together with this team, really with heart and soul. You can tell.”

Wind Of Change is titled after Scorpions massive 1991 hit of the same name. “Wind Of Change” is quite literally one of the best selling singles of all time, having sold over 14 million copies worldwide.
