Cast Revealed For Upcoming Scorpions Biopic, Featuring ‘The Crown’ Star Dominic West

The upcoming Scorpions biopic, Wind of Change, has officially revealed its cast, with Dominic West, Alexander Dreymon, and Ludwig Trepte set to portray key band members along with manager Doc McGhee. The movie is currently filming in London, with the project directed by Alex Ranarivelo and produced by ESX Entertainment for FOX Entertainment Studios in association with Warner Bros. Home Entertainment. A theatrical release for the film is planned by year-end. “This cast is an amazing ensemble of truly great talent,” says Ali Afshar, president of ESX Entertainment. “I can’t thank FOX Entertainment and Warner Bros. Home Entertainment enough for their support and especially the band — Rudolf, Klaus and Matthias — for believing in us and trusting us to tell their life story.” Scorpions are marking their 60th anniversary by releasing a greatest-hits compilation, and staging a five-night Las Vegas residency in August at the Planet Hollywood Resort & Casino.
