New movie about The Camino! Filming starts today (23 Sept) in Santiago

Olivares · Sep 23, 2014

According to local news, a German film company started filming today the scenes in Santiago for a movie based on the popular travelogue written by the German comedian Hape Kerkeling of his pilgrimage on the Camino Frances. The film company was encouraged by the success of the American film "The Way" and has already filmed scenes in the other regions. In 2008, the author was awarded the Bestseller Author of the Year for his travelogue (Ich bin dann mal weg: meine Reise auf dem Jakobsweg (in German)), which sold more than a million copies.

Sounds like fun!! IVAR-- we want to see you on film!!

Ivar, it won't be a proper film without you in it.

Arn · Sep 24, 2014

Considering the international make up of the Forum and our intimate relationship on all things Camino: we have Ivar the Concept Man, Johnnie Walker the Pilgrim Navigator, Laurie of the Many Miles, Al the Optomist, Sil the Writer, Rebecca and Paddy Wizards of the Peaceable Kingdom, Sagalouts the Reluctant Pilgrim, David a Man for All Reasons, William the Wize. Gosh, the list goes on.
Care to add a few of your own?
Casting Call!!! Casting Call!!!

Kanga because she is inspiring and great to "bounce" ideas off

Olivares · Sep 24, 2014

Well, any Camino movie without Falcon and Mspath (Margaret Meredith) is not worth my time !!!

I was in Santiago on 24 Sep 2014 and watched the shooting of the film in Praza da Quintana outside the Cathedral. Saw Hape Kerkeling (who was very big) and yes they did call on pilgrims to participate as extras in some scenes. Enjoyed the moment and waiting for the film to be released.

And the Oscar for "Best Supporting Forum Member" goes to pilgrim b!

See you all at the catering truck! I hope they'll be doing Peppers Padron, Pulpo, and of course, Tarta de Santiago ! The life of an 'extra' DOES have its benefits !

And what about me? I speak German with a Swiss German accent, which could give spice to the event (sipping a good red Rioja)

I just saw this thread... I saw this in the paper, but never saw any cameras.. Next time!

We were in O Cebreiro and were very gently shooed out of the way (or rather The Way) for filming. My camino co-walker Lynn desperately wanted clean and dry clothes and might be seen in the finished film dashing determinedly across the road regardless, clutching the laundry bag!
