Quick First Teaser for Tom Tykwer’s New Film ‘Das Licht’ – ‘The Light’

Look who’s back! X Verleih debuted a quick 30-second teaser for a new film called The Light, also known as Das Licht in German. It’s the latest feature film from acclaimed German filmmaker Tom Tykwer, his first feature since A Hologram for the King in 2016, because he’s also been working on the “Babylon Berlin” series for the last 8 years. The film has a March 2025 release date in Germany, but no festival premieres yet – it’s expected to show up at Sundance and/or Berlinale early next year. A family faces collapse as they deal with modern issues, searching for new beginnings in a troubled world. Their life is disrupted by the arrival of a mysterious Syrian woman, who “puts the Engels’ emotional world to an unexpectedly wild test.” I’m guessing the modern issues it’s dealing with are about how xenophobic many Germans still are and how they don’t really know how to accept immigrants. Filming took place in Berlin and North Rhine-Westphalia and Kenya. Starring Lars Eidinger, Nicolette Krebitz, Elke Biesendorfer, Julius Gause, and Elyas Eldridge. Not much to see in this teaser, keep an eye out for it – Tykwer roars back in 2025 with a new film. // Continue Reading ›
