Channing Tatum has been set to star in the remake of the German feature ‘System Crasher’ at MGM.
The original German film centres on a young girl with a traumatic past. Constantly moving from one child-services home to the next because of her aggressive behaviour, she’s labelled a “system crasher” and seen as a hopeless cause. That’s until she gets paired with a caring but tough anger-management coach. They form an unlikely bond, and he helps her find peace by reconnecting her with nature and also nurturing her passion for boxing.
The remake will be set in the U.S. and look to focus on childhood trauma, and healing.

MGM has acquired the rights to remake “System Crasher,” Nora Fingscheidt’s 2019 German drama, and set Channing Tatum to star in and produce the English-language take on the story, an individual with knowledge of the project told TheWrap on Friday.
“System Crasher” premiered to acclaim out of Berlin and swept the German Film Awards, and it starred Helena Zengel as a 9-year-old girl with a traumatic past who acts out and drives everyone around her to despair, leading her to be labeled a “system crasher” as she bounces around from child service home to the next because of her wild behavior. But she soon meets a caring, but tough anger management coach who helps her on the road to recovery.
Tatum will star in the film that will also now be set in the U.S. and focus on childhood trauma, and Fingscheidt, who most recently directed “The Unforgiveable” with Sandra Bullock,...

“System Crasher,” Nora Fingscheidt’s social drama about a troubled young girl, swept the 70th German Film Awards on Friday, winning a total of eight Lolas, including best film, director, actress and actor.
Forced to revamp this year’s ceremony due to the ongoing Covid-19 pandemic, the German Film Academy did away with its traditional gala event and instead produced a stripped-down show tailor-made for television that proved uniquely spontaneous, innovative and entertaining.
Hosted by actor Edin Hasanovic (“Skylines”), the show, broadcast live from Berlin and airing on Ard’s Das Erste, featured guest entertainers, actors and presenters in the studio as well as filmmakers, award winners and musicians taking part via video feed from their homes, including a musical performance by Gregory Porter from Los Angeles.

The European Film Academy has unveiled its nominations for the 32nd European Film Awards with the ceremony to be held December 7 in Berlin. Among the titles to figure in the races, three are tied with four mentions each including Roman Polanski’s An Officer And A Spy, Pedro Almodovar’s Pain And Glory and Marco Bellocchio’s The Traitor. The latter two are also the Oscar representatives from their respective Spain and Italy and give Sony Pictures Classics a combined eight nods at the EFAs.
While Polanski remains a controversial figure, there has been a divide between U.S. and Euro perspectives in the #MeToo era. His Dreyfus Affair drama, An Officer And A Spy, which also has Efa nominations for Director, Actor and Screenwriter, was one of the most contested titles at the Venice Film Festival where it debuted earlier this year. It went on to win the Grand Jury Prize there.

System Crasher, a social drama from director Nora Fingscheidt, has been chosen as Germany’s representative for the International Feature Film Award at the 92nd Oscars. An independent jury made the selection from a group of seven films that were submitted to German Films for consideration.
A Silver Bear Alfred Bauer Prize winner at this year’s Berlin Film Festival, the debut feature also took honors at fests in Taipei and Transylvania. It had its U.S. premiere at the Philadelphia Film Festival. The German theatrical release date is set for September 19.
The film centers on Benni, a delicate-looking nine-year-old girl with unbridled energy who is what child protection services call a “system crasher.” Be it foster family, group home or special-needs school, wherever Benni ends up, she is immediately expelled. Benni, however, has only one goal: to be able to live with her mother again, a woman who is...
