Babelsberg, Berlin Studios That Hosted Shoots for ‘Hunger Games,’ ‘John Wick’ and ‘Matrix’ Franchises, Bids Farewell to Former Chiefs


Berlin's Studio Babelsberg, one of Europe’s largest studio complexes, has revealed that its senior management has been rejigged.

Among the films it has hosted are “Metropolis,” “The Blue Angel,” “The Pianist,” “The Bourne Supremacy” and “Bridge of Spies.” Babelsberg comprises 21 studios and sound stages, various backlots and exterior sets across more than 42 acres. Babelsberg revealed Tuesday that Carl “Charlie” Woebcken and Christoph Fisser, who have run the studios since 2004, have stepped down from their positions on the board of directors at their own request and in mutual agreement. As part of the global Cinespace family with a total of five locations – Toronto, Chicago, Atlanta, Wilmington, in addition to Studio Babelsberg – we are very well positioned to meet the demand for high-quality local and international content.”
