Wrap for EXTRAWURST – Friedrich Mücke thanks on Instagram
Wrapping for EXTRAWURST. We are very pleased about this post and the high praise from lead actor Friedrich Mücke.
Friedrich Mücke’s original words (translated): “Hey guys… what the hell was that ride on a rock’n’roll-pickled film cutter? Honestly – I just wanted to say: Thank you, you galactic EXTRAWURST beings! Shooting is wrapped… and I’m still completely blessed by this whole circus. Since April we’ve been rocking it there – with proper preparation and brains beforehand, right? Produced by @lieblingsfilm_productions – and you can really feel it. Totally the favorite thing, with favorite people, favorite vibes, favorite catering… can’t get more favorite than that. The vibe on set – polite, accommodating, almost like at the Federal President’s bachelor party. Not just some token sweet-talking – no, genuinely from the heart. You were all so supportive, so harmonious… it was like a love parade of humanity. And then we were even allowed to shoot at RTHC in Leverkusen… Dude, how nice was that?! And the humor, guys… how we laughed! ‘Hey baby, make a little panic in the shot!’ And then came the soundtrack – by Christoph: blows us away like a saxophone solo in the desert. I was so crazy excited to come to set every morning. And @franziska_aigner_casting What kind of band did you cast together there? Even the Berlinale dreams about it at night. And now let’s get down to brass tacks: Rosi, our director rocket-man – Rosenmüller himself – you created such sparks that sometimes you thought the set would go up in flames. In the best sense. Pure passion. And then, hey… Daniel with the images – so awesome, so cinematic, it gives me goosebumps in my heart. And the lighting, guys… whoever pulled that off: Gold! Hollywood vibes in Leverkusen. Pros on point, no panic in sight. You were all so on target – I looked forward to working with you every day. So, guys: #extrawurst – this wasn’t a sausage stand, this was a gourmet festival with a crew that shines like chrome rims on a space shuttle. I thank you from my heart. I hug you all in leather. And I say: If you make such madness again – call me. See you soon, you rockets. Rock’n’Roll & #extrawurst forever! 🖤🎬🥳 Extrawurst – From January 15, 2026 in cinemas – big reunion in the dark with light from the front“
