A Fresh Spin on the Timeless Ruhrpott Cult Classic: "Bang Boom Bang" as a Series!
Ralf Richter aims to prolong the continuation of "Bang Boom Bang" as an ongoing series
Get ready, Ruhrpott fans! Actor Ralf Richter, renowned for his iconic role as Kalle Grabowski in the 1999 hit movie "Bang Boom Bang," has exciting news for us! Seventeen years after its release, he's cooking up a series, and it's been a family affair!
Ralf spilled the beans at a talk in Dortmund, Merkur Spielbank Hohensyburg. Turns out, it was his son's thoughtful idea to revisit the world of "Bang Boom Bang" and, well, here we are! With additions from his collaborators, Max and director Özgür Arslan, the team has been tirelessly crafting a script for a mini-series. And it's safe to say, they're making significant progress!
Why a series, you ask? Financing a movie can be tricky business, Ralf explains. So, they've been working on a mini-series format instead. And get this, folks — they're aiming for a release on popular streaming platforms this very year! Exciting times, aren't they?
"Bang Boom Bang – Ein todsicheres Ding" was a game-changer for director Peter Thorwarth, who later brought us the global smash-hit Netflix horror film "Blood Red Sky." Along with "What Doesn't Fit, Will Be Made to Fit" (2002) and "Golden Times" (2006), "Bang Boom Bang" formed the celebrated Unna trilogy, immortalizing the everyday struggles of the Ruhr area's ordinary folks on screen.
As for the streaming service that'll host the series, well, we'll have to wait for an official announcement. But Ralf's enthusiasm and the combined creative energy behind the project suggest something that captures the essence of the original film while venturing into unexplored territory. The humor, the heart, and the spirit of "Bang Boom Bang" are not going anywhere!
So, there you have it, folks! The "Bang Boom Bang" series is on its way, and it's going to be one wild ride! Stay tuned for updates — we'll know more about the release date and streaming service soon! Until then, keep those appetizers cooking! 🍕😉
