COLOGNE, Germany -- Financially troubled Studio Babelsberg has secured a new lease on life, revealing Tuesday that the German film studio has signed contracts for the production of three new feature films at its Potsdam-based complex. Babelsberg said the films shooting at the studio will be Herr Lehmann, a new comedy from Sun Alley director Leander Haussmann; Die Frauen von der Rosenstrasse (The Woman From Rosenstrasse), Margarethe von Trotta's 1940s period piece; and Die Nacht Singt Ihre Lieder (The Night Sings Their Songs), a new drama from director Romuald Karmakar (Manila, Deathmaker). The news comes as Babelsberg parent Vivendi Universal signaled that it intends to keep the German studio running despite rumors that Vivendi Uni is considering selling off Babelsberg to pay down debt.
