Two new films from the "Barcelona Crime" series are ready to go: Anne Schäfer (41) and Clemens Schick (48) alias Fina Valent and Xavi Bonet will register on May 21 and 28 (8:15 p.m. in the first) back the screen. The next films in the series are already being planned again, despite the corona pandemic. "If possible, we will shoot in Barcelona again this autumn," explains Clemens Schick in an interview with the news agency spot on news. "There is a huge need for films, series and series right now. I think we will soon have a lot to do again," the actor says confidently.
You will be seen again as Commissioner Xavi Bonet on Thursday evening. Do you watch the "Barcelona thriller" on TV at home?
Clemens Schick: If possible, I always watch with my two best friends, who are also my most honest critics and like to make fun of me.
Due to the corona crisis, the next films in the crime series are likely to be a long time coming. What is the future of the "Barcelona thriller"?
Schick: If possible, we will shoot in Barcelona again this autumn. The scripts are being written, which is great.
Many shoots have been stopped or canceled in the past few weeks. How hard is the corona crisis hitting you professionally?
Schick: I was very lucky that a lot of my films were shown. First "Sergio" on Netflix, then "Das Boot" on Sky and now the two films in this series on ARD. My industry is just waking up again and slowly feeling its way into the new situation. On the other hand, as much is being consumed as rarely and everyone in my industry wants only one thing to satisfy this hunger for films.
What do you think, what changes will the corona crisis bring to the film and television industry?
Schick: We now have to see that the important small film production companies survive this standstill. On the other hand, there is a huge need for films, series and series. I think we'll have a lot to do again soon.
How and with whom do you spend the corona insulation yourself?
Schick: I am very much in the country right now. I've had a small farm in Brandenburg since last year. I work there from morning to evening and am knocked out, dirty and happy every evening. Anyone who has an old farm knows that new surprises await you every day. Sometimes a fence has to be repaired or the fight with nettles has to be started by hand. But that's exactly what makes me happy.
Which series, films, books have you devoured?
Schick: "The Americans" and "The Godfather" (again). I also love documentaries.
What do you miss most in isolation?
Schick: work and dance.
What are you most looking forward to after the crisis?
Schick: My passion is to tell stories in a team, so to film. I can hardly wait for it to say "And Action!"
