Matthias Schweighöfer made a short visit to Frankfurt in September 2013, the location for "What a Man" and scenes from "Schlussmacher". Reason for the visit: Since the film launch of SCHLUSSMACHER on 10 January 2013, almost 2.5 million cinema-goers have not only seen and learned to love the film but also the Hessian metropolis on the Main and the landscape around Lake Edersee. A success that not only pays off for production. The producers of Pantaleon Films, Matthias Schweighöfer, Dan Maag and Marco Beckmann, as well as the film distributors Twentieth Century Fox and Fox International Productions Germany would like to thank the State of Hesse for the trust placed in them and the financial support they have provided, and will repay the total amount of 600,000 euros to the State of Hesse/HessenInvestFilm/Wirtschafts- und Infrastrukturbank Hessen. The cheque was handed over in the presence of State Secretary Ingmar Jung, producer Matthias Schweighöfer, Dan Maag, Marco Beckmann and Twentieth Century Fox Managing Director Vincent de La Tour on the Iron Bridge. There Schweighöfer told among other things that he doesn't only like to shoot in Frankfurt because of the great skyline. And he also revealed that there are already plans for a new project to be filmed in the Main metropolis again. But until then Frankfurt-Tipp congratulates on the success of SCHLUSSMACHER!
