EXCLUSIVE: FilmSharks has completed a deal at the Cannes Market with Federation Films for a French remake of the German comedy No Hit Wonder. 

No Hit Wonder is a Warner Bros Germany and Pantaleon title. The film debuted at this year’s Rotterdam Film Festival. The film was released in Germany last year by Warner Bros. 

The film follows a one-hit-wonder singer who hits rock bottom and, after a failed suicide attempt, wakes up in a psychiatric facility. The official synopsis reads: “His new life and agenda are filled with therapy sessions and very peculiar activities. Now he must face an uncomfortable question: who is he when his only success no longer defines him, and open up to start a wonderful healing journey. 

The film’s cast features Florian David Fitz (Jesus Loves Me), Nora Tschirner (Keinohrhasen), Udo Samel (Europa Europa), and Corinna Kirchhoff (Paradise). Florian Dietrich directed the film from a screenplay by Florian David Fitz. Producers are Dan Maag, Daniel Sonnabend, Marco Beckmann, and Alexander Dreissig. 

“Federation is one of the most interesting labels to work with. They embraced the concept and idea,” Federico Pascua of FilmSharks said in a statement.
