“The kangaroo conspiracy”, the second part of the kangaroo saga, is filmed. This time under the direction of kangaroo creator Marc-Uwe Kling.
“Even funnier, more exciting, even more political and 25 percent more kangaroo for the same price”, promise director Marc-Uwe Kling (born 1982) and Co. at the start of the shooting of “The Kangaroo Conspiracy”, the second part of the kangaroo saga . The first film, the adaptation of the novel “The Kangaroo Chronicles” (2020), was directed by the Swiss Dani Levy (63) and Kling wrote the screenplay. The new script was created in collaboration between Kling and Jan Cronauer (born 1979).
Not much is revealed about the content of the second film, except: “It is not a book adaptation, but a story of its own that has never existed before,” as X Verleih AG said when asked by spot on news.
