Munich-based Telepool has acquired international rights to The Volcano, a joint production from the producers of teamWorx (Nico Hofmann) and RTL.
Budgeted at $14m (9m Euros), the two-parter is the second joint project from RTL and teamWorx after Storm Tide, which attracted 11 million TV viewers in early 2006.
Uwe Janson is to direct. The cast includes Yvonne Catterfeld, Katja Riemann and Katharina Wackernagel, Heiner Lauterbach and Uwe Ochsenknecht (Luther).
Based on a screenplay by Alexander Rümelin, the film explores the impact of a volcanic eruption in the middle of Germany. The story is set around Laach Lake in Germany's Eifel region, site of Europe's youngest volcano.
The Volcano comes billed as a realistic drama depicting a state of emergency during a catastrophe. The project has been in development for the past two years.
