Louis cast in Untitled Netflix Project

According to Deadline, Louis has been cast in a new Netflix project about a group of Germans helping refugees on the Mediterranean Sea. The project is untitled as of now but Netflix revealed a still from it featuring Louis.

Netflix has unveiled upcoming movie about real-life German NGO Jugend Rettet and its ship, the Iuventa, which rescued thousands of migrants in the Mediterranean Sea in 2016 before it was impounded by Italian authorities.

In-demand actor Louis Hofmann – whose credits include Dark, Ripley, Masters of the Air, All The Light We Cannot See, and is soon to be seen in Monstrous Beauty opposite Bella Ramsay – leads the cast.

The movie tells the true story of the creation in 2015 of Jugend Rettet by a group of young Berliners who felt compelled to do something about the thousands of people who were dying in the Mediterranean Sea as they tried to reach Europe via unofficial routes.

Inexperienced but driven by passion and courage, they launch a crowdfunding campaign to buy an old ship, the Iuventa. Its volunteers successfully rescued 14,000 people in 2016, but this work was stalled after the vessel was impounded by Italy in 2017.

Seven of its members then found themselves caught up in a high stakes legal battle with the Italian authorities which tried to paint their humanitarian acts as crimes.

Louis for Cero Magazine

There’s a short new feature on Louis in Cero Magazine along with a new photoshoot which you can see in the gallery.

Louis Hofmann loves to become someone else. The same could be said, of course, about most actors, but the 27-year-old seems to find a particular pleasure in identifying the unique point of distinction that allows him to immerse himself in each of his roles. For last year’s Netflix miniseries All the Light We Cannot See, for example, in which he played Werner Pfennig, a German World War II radio operator, he spent weeks before filming perfecting his character’s distinct skill set to the point that he is now able to construct a working radio in under a minute. “I fucking love to nerd out about something,” he laughs.

The cast of rising actors also includes Erin Kellyman (“Willow”), Jodi Balfour (“Ted Lasso,” “The Crown”) and Louis Hofmann (“Dark”).

Set in 1920s England, “Lilies Not for Me” revolves around a gay novelist and his psychiatric nurse who form an unlikely friendship over a series of doctor-prescribed dates. “Through their conversations, he tells her the story of his relationship with an old friend which spiraled out of control when they turned to a risky procedure to cure themselves of their forbidden feelings for one another,” the synopsis reads.
