Hollywood in Hamburg: Mayor Dr Peter Tschentscher met Director and actress Elizabeth Banks - during the filming of "Charlie's Angels" in the Elbphilharmonie.
Elizabeth BanksDirectors ofCharlie's Angels"We are delighted to have the opportunity to shoot Charlie's Angels in Hamburg and would like to thank the Mayor and the Film Fund for making this possible. The city is an integral part of the story we tell in the film and we take full advantage of the many beautiful locations, including the iconic Elbphilharmonie."
Hamburg's First MayorDr Peter TschentscherThe filming of Charlie's Angels shows that Hamburg as a film location is also gaining international importance. Filmförderung Hamburg Schleswig-Holstein has been supporting this development for many years through its dedicated work. Another factor is that the Elbphilharmonie is raising our international profile. I am delighted about this increasing interest and Hamburg's growing importance for the film industry."
Maria KöpfCEO of Filmförderung Hamburg Schleswig-Holstein: "Hamburg's most beautiful pearl becomes a film star: the Elbphilharmonie plays a central role in the modern sequel to the world of 'Charlie's Angels'. The reinterpretation of the classic film fits in perfectly with the liberal spirit of the Free and Hanseatic City of Hamburg. With the large number of shooting days, the production is also extremely attractive from an economic point of view, as a lot of money is spent in the Hanseatic city - for example on service providers or film crews. We are very pleased that we are able to score more and more points with international shoots - especially thanks to the support of the cultural authorities and the authorising bodies."
