From one who opened up, HOLLYWOOD!
Since his blockbuster Independence Day, he has been considered one of the most influential directors in the world: Roland Emmerich - German successful filmmaker in Los Angeles, the undisputed "master of disaster" of global cinema. But he is also much more than that. He has always demonstrated a keen sense of the spirit of the times in his films and knows how to translate exciting cinema material into powerful and effective images.
This very personal Emmerich biography of Jo Müller, who has accompanied the star director's career for over 25 years, tells the fascinating story of a film enthusiast who set out from Sindelfingen to conquer and revolutionize the world of cinema. The Hollywood director has never given anyone else such a deep insight into both his work as a filmmaker and his private life. Not only Roland Emmerich himself has his say, but also long-standing colleagues and, not least, family members such as his sister Ute, who once emigrated with him to America and has since accompanied his spectacular projects as a producer. Exclusive photos round off the biography.
