Story of Kachelmann's ex-lover to be made into a movie
The fate of Jörg Kachelmann's ex-lover, who accused the weather presenter of rape, is now being filmed for television. Two companies bought the ex-lover's personal rights for the film project.
The German-American TV production company Story House Productions and Zurich-based script developer Scriptproducer are behind the project. The story focuses on "the dignity of the woman who, after her fateful decision to denounce the weather presenter and bring him to justice, came into the public spotlight and became the plaything of the media, lawyers and experts", according to a statement from the companies on Friday.
It has not yet been decided which broadcaster will take part in the production. The casting of the lead role is also still open. Filming is due to start in a year's time. Kachelmann was acquitted in May after a month-long trial due to lack of evidence. (SDA)
