Filming underway for historic Olympic rowing win featuring Masucci
In the picturesque town of Ratzeburg, Schleswig-Holstein, cameras are rolling as the highly anticipated movie Adam’s Eight (original title Adams Acht) brings the thrilling tale of the German rowing team's historic gold medal victory at the 1960 Rome Olympics to life.
Directed by the renowned Finnish director Hannu Salonen, Adam’s Eight dramatizes the true story of Karl Adam, a gym teacher and rowing innovator, who led a young, outsider eight-man rowing crew from Ratzeburg to an unprecedented triumph. The film explores the team's training, technical innovations in rowing introduced by Adam, and the Cold War-era tensions surrounding the athletes.
The movie boasts a talented cast, including Oliver Masucci, who portrays trainer Karl Adam, Felix Kammerer, known for his role in "All Quiet on the Western Front", Svenja Jung from "The Center of the World", and Nick Romeo Reimann, who has appeared in "The Wild Bunch" and "Urban Crocodiles". Leonard Kunz, famous for his role in "The Most Beautiful Couple", is also part of the ensemble.
Adam’s Eight promises an unprecedented depiction of rowing, with a focus on authentic and dynamic portrayals of the sport. Although specific technical details about the filming style or technology used are not yet disclosed, the film's focus suggests an emphasis on capturing the sport's physical intensity and technical nuances.
The exact release date of Adam’s Eight has not been announced yet. However, filming is ongoing as of August 2025, with additional scenes planned to be shot in Slovakia starting early September 2025.
