Inspired by Erich Maria Remarques 1928 bestseller of the same name.
Starring Felix Kammerer, Albrecht Schuch, Aaron Hilmer, Edin Hasanovic, Daniel Br hl, Devid Striesow and many others.
In addition to director Edward Berger (including "Patrick Melrose" and "Jack"), producer Malte Grunert of Amusement Park Film (including "A Most Wanted Man" and "Perfect Sense") is responsible for the film.
Filming will take place in the Czech Republic until the end of May
Berlin/Prague, May 4, 2021 -- To this day, it is considered the anti-war novel par excellence. Its first film adaptation made history itself: "All quiet at the Western Front" from 1928 by the world literary figure Erich Maria Remarque. Ullstein Verlag published the pacifist text by Remarque, a war veteran known at the time as a respected journalist, at a time when a critical narrative against the First World War was anything but welcome. Consequently, the literary text as well as the Oscar-winning 1930 film adaptation "All Quiet on the Western Front" fell victim to Nazi censorship, forcing its creator into Swiss exile.
Since March, filming on the first German film adaptation of "All Quiet on the Western Front" has been in full swing near Prague. Director Edward Berger has gathered an impressive ensemble of actors around him to bring to life, together with producer Malte Grunert (Amusement Park) and on behalf of Netflix, his cinematic interpretation of this humanist appeal against the horrors of war. Until the end of May, member of Viennas Burgtheater Felix Kammerer, Albrecht Schuch, Aaron Hilmer, Moritz Klaus and Edin Hasanovic will be portraying Paul B umer and his schoolmates; the cast also includes Daniel Br hl, Devid Striesow and Andreas D hler, among others.
Edward Berger: "This German world bestseller is able to convey the inhuman terror of war perhaps more impressively than any other literary work. For me, creating its first German film adaptation is one of the most exciting challenges of all.
"We are beyond proud that Edward Berger will bring this story with such a great cast to life again for Netflix , says Sasha B hler, Director International Film Netflix.
All Quiet on the Western Front is expected to be seen in the second half of 2022.
