German production companies Pantaleon Films and Carte Blanche Intl. are separately developing two series projects from writer Katja Eichinger that delve into the Hamburg underworld and the city’s unique high security prison.
Pantaleon, part of actor-director Matthias Schweighöfer’s Pantaflix Ag entertainment group, has optioned Eichinger’s “Santa Fu,” about life in Hamburg’s notorious Justizvollzugsanstalt Fuhlsbüttel prison, commonly known as Santa Fu. Making the facility particularly unique is the fact that it has the only prison soccer team in Germany that plays in a regional league.
Stephan Wagner and Alexander van Dülmen’s Carte Blanche Intl., meanwhile, are developing Eichinger’s screenplay adaptation of “King of Snow,” the memoir of former drug kingpin Ronald “Blacky” Miehling, who amassed unimaginable wealth in the early 1990s as Hamburg’s premiere coke dealer before losing it all and, coincidently, ending up in Fuhlsbüttel.
