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 to star in ‘Monstrous Beauty’

According to Deadline, Louis is set to star in ‘Monstrous Beauty’ alongside Bella Ramsey as Vale, an actor in the court of king Charles II.

Dark star Louis Hofmann, one of Germany’s most in-demand young actors, is joining Bella Ramsey (The Last Of Us), Dominic West (The Crown), Ruth Negga (Loving), Fiona Shaw (Harry Potter) in period drama Monstrous Beauty, which HanWay is selling at the Cannes market ahead of a planned September shoot.

Ramsey, who shot to fame as the precocious Lady of Bear Island in GOT and is coming off HBO’s blockbuster hit The Last Of Us, is heading back to court but this time as an aspiring playwright in the court of King Charles II who suffers from a rare condition that means she is entirely covered in hair.

[…]

Hofmann will play Vale in Monstrous Beauty, an “average actor and extremely skilled lover by trade — but it’s his undeniable beauty that attracts Barbara’s (Ramsey) attention and he quickly becomes an object of infatuation and her muse”.
