After almost a quarter of a century, Michael “Bully” Herbig continues his hit film “The Shoe of Manitou”.
“The Canoe of Manitou” will be released in cinemas in 2025, the production company Constantin Film announced late on Thursday evening in Munich.
Herbig will take his place in the director's chair again.
The script comes from Herbig, Christian Tramitz and Rick Kavanian.
After sketches from the ProSieben comedy show “Bullyparade,” Herbig made the feature film “The Shoe of Manitu” in 2000, a parody of the Winnetou films of the 1960s.
The comedy was released in cinemas in the summer of 2001.
With almost 12 million visitors at the time, it was one of the most successful German cinema films ever.
Filming for the sequel “The Canoe of Manitu” is scheduled to take place this year.
RTL is on board for the first time in a cinema production of Bully, Constantin Film said.
Information about the cast will follow in the coming months.
“This much has already been revealed: Abahachi, Ranger and Dimitri are getting a lot of reinforcements!” it said in the message.
