New trailer released for the Scorpions biopic “Wind of Change”: in German cinemas from 28 January 2027

A new trailer for the biopic “Wind of Change”, dedicated to the legendary German rock group Scorpions, was published on the group’s official YouTube channel, as Ultimate Classic Rock announces. The footage is in German, the group’s native language, and one of the strongest moments is the line of the actor who plays singer Klaus Meine: “I want to show the world that we are the new generation of Germans… Everyone hates politics, because politics never works. But music… everyone loves music!”

The film is directed by Alex Ranarivelo and brings the group’s historic members back to the screen through a stellar cast: Alexander Dreymon plays guitarist Rudolf Schenker, Ludwig Trepte singer Klaus Meine, Ed Speleers guitarist Matthias Jabs and Luke Brandon Field drummer Herman Rarebell. Also joining the cast are Dominic West in the role of the group’s manager, Doc McGhee, and David Kross as Andrej, the group’s friend from the other side of the Berlin Wall. Producer Ali Afshar of ESX Entertainment describes the cast as “a truly wonderful ensemble of talents”, thanking Fox Entertainment and Warner Bros. Home Entertainment, as well as the group itself — Rudolf, Klaus and Matthias — “for the trust and for entrusting us with their life story”.

“Wind of Change” will be shown in German cinemas starting from 28 January 2027; when the film will reach other territories is not yet clear. The news comes at a moment when Scorpions have announced the postponement of all the remaining 2026 concerts, including eight planned evenings in Las Vegas, for “unforeseen reasons”, moving them to 2027.
