Ed Meza @edmezavar Tom Tykwer’s first feature film since 2016, “Das Licht” (“The Light”), is set to start rolling this month at Studio Babelsberg near Berlin.
The X Filme Creative Pool production, about a troubled family who take in a Syrian immigrant as their new housekeeper, is one of a number of projects heading to the renowned studio as business picks up following a lull this year stemming from the Writers Guild of America and SAG-AFTRA strikes.

Studio Babelsberg, which was taken over by TPG Real Estate Partners last year and integrated into its Cinespace Studios division, has also hosted such recent productions as “The Hunger Games: The Ballad of Songbirds & Snakes,” the Liam Neeson thriller “Retribution” and Tykwer’s hit German series “Babylon Berlin.” Yet the dip in business this year and intensifying competition around Europe have led to speculation about Babelsberg’s future prospects and even ignited rumors about real estate development on the property.
