As if the US film industry hasn’t gotten enough. Corey Feldman, best known from “Stand by me,” started shooting in Berlin this past Wednesday for his new flick “Lucky Fritz” with little connection to Germany or Fritz. In case you didn’t know: Fritz is also an alternate name for Devon sausage and a German computer chess game.

Produced by Ica Souvignier, Feldman plays the main character Fritz, a worm breeder who gets struck by lightning and suddenly attracts all kinds of metals and women - it’s a comedy. For Corey, it’s his first shoot in Prussia’s former capital and thinks Beliners “are really friendly,” well if you’re filming in Zehlendorf in the old West or in American speak, city suburbia! Nightlife would be akin to the Puro, a club on the 20th floor near the Ku’damm. Feldman has gone through ups and downs in his career and it looks like his three year-old son Zen is giving him positive energy.

The production comes equipped with German actors, such as Axel Wedekind from “Contergan,” a movie about a health care scandel and brunette-gone-blond Julia Dietze who thinks the script is sweet and funny. It’ll be in the theaters summer 2009.
