Movie premiere of "The Souffleur"
The reason for the mega star's visit to Vienna is the premiere of his film "The Prompter". In the film, he plays the director of a venerable hotel that is struggling with decay. Viewers get to know the quirky characters who look after the hotel and its guests. The film was shot exclusively in Vienna - including at the Hotel Intercontinental, which also serves as the headquarters of the Viennale film festival.
"It was wonderful to shoot in Vienna!"
The film, starring Willem Dafoe, celebrated its premiere on Saturday. The "Krone" met the actor in advance for an interview and spoke to him about filming in Vienna. He described it as "wonderful": "I've been in the city again and again over the years, for example for the Vienna Festival. And I also have friends here, so the connection to the city is not broken." However, it wasn't easy to shoot in Vienna: "We only had a small budget. And so we had to improvise a lot. If one day we were told you could film on the roof today, we spontaneously moved a scene there."
The film was screened at the Viennale on Saturday and will be shown again on Monday. The official release date is 2026.
