The cast has recently been announced for the upcoming Scorpions biopic, “Wind of Change’. The all star cast includes Alexander Dreymon (The Last Kingdom) as guitarist Rudolf Schenker, Ludwig Trepte (Generation War) will take on the role of lead singer Klaus Meine, Ed Speleers (You, Outlander) will play guitarist Matthias Jabs and Luke Brandon Field (Interview With the Vampire, Jojo Rabbit) will be behind the kit playing drummer Herman Rarebell. The film will take a look at the band’s rise to stardom and quest for global unity. At the heart of the film is the titular ballad “Wind of Change,” which became the band’s biggest global hit. Meine was inspired to write the song after Scorpions performed to 300,000 people at the 1989 Moscow Music Peace Festival and the band witnessed the shifting tides as the Cold War neared its end.
