I don't know about these things... they tend to make the subject of the movie seem .. well... gay!

I've watched both the Freddie Mercury one and the Elton John one, and they both left me with a feeling that he main character might be of the homo-sexual observance.... I'd hate to se Klaus as that.

Will be good if it's more Walk the Line and Almost Famous and less Rock Star and Rocketman.

The last thing the world needs is another 100% fictional "bio-pic" anyway.

This will do 1/64 of what the Motley movie did. Scorpions are nonexistent in mainstream America in 2025.

I love the Scorpions, but I don't know if they are the best band to do a movie on. They haven't really had any controversy or the type of stuff that makes for a great movie. They scored a lot of trim. Maybe they could have a storyline akin to band turmoil due to Matthias and Rudolph fighting over who is the father of one of their Japanese groupie's kids?

For Mattley's sake, I hope it's not in subtitles.
