The event was smaller than usual, owing to the Peace Starts with Me festival taking place in April, which not only understandably takes precedence for many with limited funds, but also resulted in the Directors scheduling the event a month early. I will be happy to send you excerpts from the script on request.This year’s annual Cranes Club conference was held on March 16th-18th, at Espace Barrault in Paris and was attended by some thirty-five professionals from across Europe (including a guest from the USA).
That was a wonderfully weird, crazy, bizarre time. The most real thing this system had produced was a fictional script, which unfortunately no longer became a film. Even the Knights Templar of Malta, of whom he was allegedly a member, could no longer help him.
Apparently all the ominous companies he had pretended to run, all the lawyers, authorised signatories, asset managers, parties with prominent guests and the whole broad-minded appearance had been nothing but dazzling for a huge pyramid system that needed ever new funds in order to generate the non-existent profits of the previous participants. It turned out that he had actually invested considerable financial means in the film – but had acquired them from unclean financial transactions. The budget for the pre-production including location scouting, casting and storyboarding was just negotiated when Adam was arrested by the Italian police in Malta, apparently on behalf of Interpol, who had been on his tail for months. Gradually it became clear that Adam would not be able to raise the budget, so an elaborate brochure, as well as a sales trailer for financing, was created.
After the first refusals, however, this plan was abandoned again and a German director with international experience was found, a second version was written, again translated into English, since one was now looking for actors internationally. The first version was produced at record speed and was translated even faster into English, as top directors were sought on the international stage. Of course in each case in the largest hotel at the place. Which meant we were flown to where Adam was on business – including an impressive entourage consisting of his wife, four children, two nannies, two drivers, bodyguard and at least one lawyer. Every three weeks we had to deliver new versions, which were discussed in personal meetings. Adam had never made a film before – but apparently he had the small change necessary to do the development and pre-production without public money. After almost two hours without point and comma of lecturing on the dark world of the great world conspiracy and I was able to provide the right keywords, I had the job.Īn incredible tour de force started: after we got Pascal’s blessing, I had to rework the pile of conspiracy theories into an exciting story within a very short time, after all they wanted to develop nothing more and nothing less than an internationally marketable thriller. John Knights of Malta” as well as various international financial firms. Friday I got the novel, Monday I had finished my concept, two days later I met Adam for the first time: in the courtyard of a fine hotel on Ku’damm, I was very nervous, he in a red velvet suit with an impressively large red calling card, which identified him as “Ambassador of the Ecumenical Hospitaller Order of St. The ideal job for someone like me who’s good at structuring and who’s also been up and down the world of conspiracy theories for other projects. As befits the genre, it spreads the great meta-conspiracy theory, from the Christian ban on interest to Adam Weishaupt’s Illuminati, the Bilderbergers, 9/11, the UNO, the Knights Templar, Rothschilds and Rockefellers, everything of rank and name in the genre was included. Essentially, it consists of three long lectures given by a powerful “insider” of a young journalist. It was one of the bumpiest plays of literature I have ever read. I was invited to a script pitch and got to read the novel. The sympathetic little Berlin production company B-Side Films was given the task of developing a film from the novel and shooting it. The goal, however, is not the power itself, but to turn people away from God and establish the rule of Satan. To be precise, it was a conspiracy theory disguised as a novel: the world’s powerful families form a cartel and plan to plunge society into chaos through escalating financial crises and thus seize power.
In summer 2012, hedge fund manager Adam Lemmer acquired the film rights to a novel by Pascal Roussel, a banker at the European Investment Bank in Luxembourg: Divina Insidia: The Divine Trap.
