Just in has pilot Francis Gary Powers bent over his target device, hoping for spectacular photos from the evil empire, there already umzischt the first Russian rocket his spy plane U-2, followed by a second – and thud! Suddenly, a tumbling, spins, crashes, a Höllentour in the depth of about 20 kilometers altitude.

seconds in panic until he seemingly safe depends parachute, if it was not high above him still … But that should not be revealed now, the place where the crash was filmed, on the other hand already Airport Tempelhof. In a hangar, a blue screen for digital effects have been prepared and before the cockpit recreated on a mobile undercarriage in order calmly to rotate the later highly dramatic acting close-ups of abschmierenden machine

The days of secrecy to locations and another, especially in a spy thriller as Steven Spielberg’s “Bridge of Spies – The negotiators “understood so are over.

Just in time for the international premiere on Friday night in the Zoo-Palast Studio Babelsberg, co-producer of the film on the first spy swap on the Glienicke Bridge in 1962, a list of ten Berlin and two Brandenburger locations presented, ahead the bridge whose week lockout with 23 agencies and institutions had to be coordinated and even attracted the Chancellor during the shooting.

Tom Hanks plays a New York law

In Tempelhof also the return of Powers in the USA has been rotated, the matching “Troop Carrier”, a C-54 Skymaster, is indeed there fortunately still rum. Next appear in the film, often not easy to identify, the Palais am Festungsgraben, the Humboldt University, the Kino International, the Gleisdreieck, the mutant to the border crossing Friedrichstrasse, the Hohenschönhausen Memorial, which was a Moscow KGB dungeon, or the S Bahn depot in Erkner. Tom Hanks as a New York law Donavan, who defended the Soviet spy Abel and his exchange with Powers arranged, should finally enter on authentic wooden tram benches in East Berlin

Such a history-soaked film and then premiere on Potsdamer Platz? That would have been a slight angle. While this was a hot spot of the Cold War, but that really sees him no longer to. The Zoo-Palast, which despite all the renovations and refurbishments still breathes the spirit of the fifties, that was clearly the first choice to roll out the red carpet for the evening yesterday. About the steps in the evening director Steven Spielberg and his lead actor Tom Hanks, further film wife Amy Ryan, Sebastian Koch, the beautiful Volvo P1800 runs as GDR lawyer Vogel, and finally Burghart Klaußner, in the film of the GDR Attorney General.



Spielberg: “I’ve always been fans of historic stories”

In the afternoon the bridges squad had gathered up to Klaußner to the press conference in the ballroom of the Adlon, moderated by Sandra Maischberger, all five of them from the Glienicke Bridge in the giant poster format decorative arched. From there spy swap had Spielberg, as he confessed, experienced only by the draft of the script of the author Matt Charman, who later mediator Donovan – had met the Abel-Powers deal – he had freely get imprisoned in Cuba Participants in the Bay of Pigs disaster.

which also includes the release of the US student Frederic Pryor through the GDR belonged – not a Hollywood-ingredient, and also the GDR lawyer Vogel was already active as Spielberg assured to questions from Rotary International, with German history obviously not always very familiar journalists flock.

Of course, came the question about the cooling of the relationship between the West and Russia to language, but for Spielberg are the current tensions of the Cold War can not be compared. It had become, however frosty
The fabric closes for the director of other films with historical reference, which accounted for a large part of his work. “I’ve always been a lover of historical stories.” Yet would the lover of his Fantasy -Familienfilme not worry, he promised. After all, his next project “The BFG” is about a girl and a friendly giant.

The liveliest in the round was expected to Tom Hanks, surprisingly gray-haired and mustachioed, who liked to sing the praises of Berlin to demand where He already familiar so good, even the rear outputs of the major hotels were familiar to him, so everything was great, only one he could do without in Germany: “Wetten, dass …?”

During the filming, it was terribly cold

But for Berlin can nothing that Hanks also has only one bad memories: the shooting on the bridge. “It was terribly cold.” Well, it can be seen that way. For the evening of Merkel’s visit quoted the Tagesspiegel “repeated freshening, cutting cold east wind” with temperatures of up to minus three degrees. Hanks still seemed to shiver, described the warm hats and gloves of the crew, as he had to play in thin sixties clothes. What he nevertheless conceded: “It was fitting for a movie about the Cold War.”
