Scorpions Film

The Fox Entertainment Global and ESX Entertainment production, "Wind of Change," chronicling the German rock band Scorpions, is slated for a North American theatrical release in March 2027 via Roadside Attractions. This follows its January 2027 debut in Germany, distributed by Warner Bros. Germany.

The film chronicles the band's origins in 1965 and their ascent to international fame. It highlights their impact on bridging the divide between East and West during the Cold War.

"Wind of Change," named after the band's 1991 hit single, symbolizes hope and unity. The song became an anthem for the end of the Cold War, released after a failed Soviet coup attempt.

"Rock You Like a Hurricane" and "Still Loving You" are among the enduring hits featured. Alex Ranarivelo directed the film, with Mark Andrews penning the script.

Alexander Dreymon stars as Rudolf Schenker, Ludwig Trepte as Klaus Meine, and Ed Speleers as Matthias Jabs. Dominic West portrays manager Doc McGhee.

"The Scorpions remain true global rock stars," stated Prentiss Fraser, President of Fox Entertainment Global. She emphasized the film's compelling journey and its ability to connect with viewers beyond longtime fans.

Roadside Attractions Co-Presidents Howard Cohen and Eric d'Arbeloff noted that the band's hits defined the MTV generation, with few aware of their ambition to cross the Iron Curtain.

With over 110 million albums sold worldwide, the Scorpions are Germany's most successful musical export and continue to tour globally.
