Cast and crew of the internationally high-caliber fantasy film subsequently filmed in Salzburg, London and the Canary Islands. The cinema release was in November 2022.

The impressive space station from the science fiction thriller "Stowaway" is part of the Filmstadt tour
The ISS served as a model for the set from the movie "Stowaway". Now the walkable space station is part of the Filmstadt tour. It was built in 2020 for the science fiction thriller produced in the Bavaria Studios. Director Joe Penna staged the story of a journey to Mars, during which a stowaway is discovered, with Anna Kendrick as a doctor and Toni Collette as commander. The film was released in theaters in 2021 and was subsequently available on the streaming service Netflix.
Elyas M’Barek's classroom
Also being presented in the Guided Tour: Germany’s coolest classroom. The original scenery from the „Fack ju Göhte“-trilogy, Germany’s most successful movie series of all time. This classroom was essentially characterised by the cult sentence: „Chantal, heul leise!“ Here Elias M’Barek alias Zeki Müller brings the chaotic class back on track. He helped the classroom of the fictitious Goethe-comprehensive school become famous and reached an audience of millions.
Scenery road with a new face
After the completion of filming for the high-end series "Luden" by "Neuesuper" (in early 2023 exclusively on Amazon Prime Video), the 3,400 sqm Scenery Street of the media location was reopened to visitors*. The formerly bourgeois house facades of the early 20th century gave way to typical establishments, nightclubs, discos and bars of Hamburg's Reeperbahn of the 80s.
