German "Famous Five" Films

Just how a 'grown-up' Julian should look!

Hehehehe

I think I'm going to have to agree with you there...

[Julie2owlsdene]

He looks like a grown up Julian because he is!!!

[Moonraker]

Reality-check time, Julie!

[Julie2owlsdene]

Reality-check time, Julie!

What are you trying to say my friend, are you telling me that there is really no Julian at all!!!!!!!!!!!!!1

While I generally prefer films to stay true to the original story, and that includes the time period as well, it looks as if they have done a good job on this.

With the story being based on The Famous Five, it would be a shame if they don't dub it into English, as their ought to be a big market both here and across the English speaking world.

Sounds interesting although they are obviously taking some liberties with the storyline. The first holiday together would imply Five on a Treasure Island whereas the laboratory on the island implies Five on Kirrin Island Again.

Which is of course exactly what the 1970's TV series did.

[Pippa-Stef]

I don't suppose that the movie will get a British release? Even with subtitles? It looks quite fun from the trailers I've seen, but I never learnt German so I can only pick up on what mood it's supposed to be from the actors.

[Viv of Ginger Pop]

I don't speak any German - could someone tell me what the name of this film is please.

[Moonraker]

Five Go To Colditz Castle ?

[Laura]

It just seems to be called "The Famous Five", although on one of the websites it seemed to have been subtitled "Five on Kirrin Island".

Hope that helps!

[Pippa-Stef]

It looks like it's a little bit of a mix between Kirrin Island again and Treasure Island, but heavier on the Treasure Island side of things.

[Soenke Rahn]

Kirrin Island again is right, it's the basic plot. Never heard something of a treasure in the film. The Story is enlarged with new threads, here and there. The policeman Armin Rohde looks for me like "Clear-Orf" of the Mystery of oR Five Find-Outers Serial. Look there e.g.:

On the filmset he was really funny. I made one day there an extra job.

If there will be no subtitle I suppose it could possible to make a good content view, like this german article, I have made:

I suppose I will see the film soon.
