PANTALEON Starts Two Major New Productions:
You Are Wanted and Jack the Ripper

- First German Amazon Originals Series You Are Wanted Shooting in Berlin
- Shooting Starts on SAT.1 TV Event Jack the Ripper in Lithuania

Kronberg im Taunus, May 31th, 2016 - PANTALEON Entertainment has started
shooting the first German Amazon Originals series You Are Wanted. Principal
photography began last week in Berlin. Matthias Schweighöfer not only plays
the lead alongside German A-listers Alexandra Maria Lara, Karoline Herfurth
and Tom Beck - he is also directing his very first TV series. The cast also
includes Toni Garrn, Catrin Striebeck, Katrin Bauerfeind, Louis Hofmann,
Edin Hasanovic, Lucie Aron, Maximilian Meyer-Bretschneider and many others.

The first six episodes of You Are Wanted will premiere on Amazon Prime in
Germany and Austria. Matthias Schweighöfer plays the part of Lukas Franke,
a happy and settled family man, whose life is suddenly turned upside down
when he is hacked by a mysterious stranger and his entire identity
kidnapped. A nightmare begins for Lukas, in which the borders between
reality and deception disappear. Matthias Schweighöfer: "I'm extremely
happy to have such a great cast on this project. As always, we strive to
combine big names with terrific new faces in our productions, which we've
pulled off with You Are Wanted again. And working with close personal
friends like Alex, Karo and Tom naturally gives me a good feeling as
director, too."

You Are Wanted is produced by PANTALEON Entertainment AG, Warner Bros.
Entertainment GmbH and Warner Bros. International Television Production
Deutschland GmbH. Producers are Dan Maag, Matthias Schweighöfer, Marco
Beckmann and Willi Geike. Shooting on You Are Wanted will take place in
Berlin and Brandenburg until August. Matthias Schweighöfer will co-direct
with DoP Bernhard Jasper. The idea and screenplays were written by Richard
Kropf, Hanno Hackfort and Bob Konrad.

At the same time, PANTALEON Entertainment is launching another tentpole
project: Shooting is also starting on SAT.1 TV Event Film Jack the Ripper
in Lithuanian capital Vilnius. Starring Sonja Gerhardt as Anna Kosminski,
it will retell the gripping story of the unsolved mystery of the 130-year
old serial killing spree in a contempo fashion. The cast includes Vladimir
Burlakov, Sabin Tambrea, Nicholas Farrel, Peter Gilbert Cotton and Falk
Hentschel. It is the first made-for-TV tentpole film made by Pantaleon
Films (producers Dan Maag, Matthias Schweighöfer, Marco Beckmann), who are
co-producing with Fireworks Entertainment (producer Marian Redmann). It
will be directed by Sebastian Niemann. "After our string of hit movies in
co-operation with ProSiebenSat.1, tackling made-for-TV movies with them is
a major strategic step in growing our  partnership. Also, I'm extremely
pleased to be working with Sebastian Niemann again. It's just the first
step toward many other great projects we're planning," says PANTALEON
Entertainment CEO Dan Maag.
