End of career for German director Roland Emmerich: The 67-year-old will shoot his last film – and he has a serious background.
In his next and last film he should be about the fact that the world is falling apart due to environmental disasters, the Stuttgarter told the “Bild am Sonntag”.

“Because I wonder if there will come a time when people will no longer be able to live in the country where they were born, because of the heat, lack of water, hunger,” he said. This will lead to a “migration of peoples” that will change a lot: “The system will no longer work if many millions of people suddenly move to another country”.

The film is important to him: “In my opinion, the only way people wake up is when they are terribly afraid of something.” What will come next, he doesn’t know yet.
Born in Stuttgart, he has lived in the United States for many years. Because of his disaster films like ‘Independence Day’ or ‘The Patriot’ he is also known as ‘Master of Disaster’. Last Monday he was a producer at the German premiere of the fantasy film “The Magic Flute – The Legacy of the Magic Flute” in Munich. (dpa/mp)
