One of Germany's rising stars, Tom Schilling, made quite a number of films in his native Germany. While fellow actors like Daniel Bruehl and Moritz Bleibtreu continued to hug the limelight and take on the more challenging roles, it's just a matter of time before Schilling, Kostja Ullmann and Max Riemelt get the juicy roles.

While Ullmann gets to play a young gay's love interest (the sexy Achim in Summer Storm) and enter into the realm of S&M (as the rebellious Jan Winkler in Punish Me ) and Max Riemelt continues portraying teen rebels (as Marco in The Wave) and the boy-next-door ( as Siggi in Der Rote Kakadu), Schilling is geared towards period films and more importantly diverse roles.

In George Taboris Mein Kampf, he is the young Adolf Hitler.

More about the movie: Set in Vienna in 1910, the story of George Taboris Mein Kampf sees the young Hitler down on his luck after being turned down by the city's Arts Academy and then befriended by an elderly Jew, Schlomo Herzl, in a hostel for homeless men. Herzl supports him like a father would a son and unconsciously helps Hitler find his way into politics and triggers a fatal turn of events for world history.

The fact that the good-natured Schlomo is himself a Jew is one of the ironic coincidences which show how the biggest disaster of recent history was able to result out of almost nothing…

More from GermanFilms.de website:

"It wasn't such an easy thing when we began work on creating film images from Tabori's wonderful text," Lehwald continues, pointing out that they wanted to avoid at all costs anything slapstick, like in Dani Levy's My Fuehrer.

"We didn't just want to have something like a filmed theater performance, but are aiming rather for the greatest possible historical authenticity, a historical realism where there is the suggestion that it could have been like this. At the same time, one will have the feeling of theater in Tabori's funny dialogues and the wit which we didn't want to translate completely into colloquial speech."

While the film team will be using some original locations in Vienna such as the Schoenbrunn Palace and the Hofburg, much of the Austrian capital will be recreated at specially built sets in Zittau in the south-eastern part of Saxony near to the borders with Poland and the Czech Republic.
