The US action movie “Collide” was shot mostly on the streets of NRW. “Stupid German Money” – so called in Hollywood West German film promotion, to attract international productions to the country with generous subsidies and tax advantages tries. That you can make silly, international films with stupid, German money, now proves Eran Creevy “Collide”, which was almost entirely shot in NRW.
the action film is dedicated to the fascination of the highway. That it partly is on German highways no speed limit, is for American motorists who may (about 135 km / H) chug through vast land with a maximum of 85 miles per hour, still an incredibly tempting idea.
In the center of the – well – history of young Americans Casey (Nicholas Hoult), suffering his girlfriend Juliette (Felicity Jones) to an nephropathy is. The waiting list in the German health for a donor organ is long and time is short. In the US

Hoult and Jones are now by films like. “X-Men: Apocalypse” and “The Discovery infinity “risen to international stardom and probably it is thanks to their fresh glory (and the German distribution funding) that already in 2014 film shot was dumped directly on the video market. After all, the German film funding can boast of having done something for the salvation of B-Movies-culture, for it today hardly any funding opportunities focused on mega blockbuster Hollywood-operation.
