Tom Zickler was one of the most successful German film producers of the last twenty years. Together with Til Schweiger he realized cinema hits like "Keinohrhasen" or "Honig in Kopf". Now he died at the age of 55 years.
The film producer Tom Zickler is dead. The 55-year-old died after a short illness, said the studio Babelsberg AG. "We are stunned, dismayed and deeply sad, " said Christoph Fisser, CEO of Studio Babelsberg AG.
"The German film scene loses one of the biggest film producers and the most passionate storyteller, who knew how to impress viewers like no other."
Tom Zickler has produced numerous successful feature films with actor and director Til Schweiger, including "Knockin 'on Heaven's Door" (1997), "Keinohrhasen" (2007), "Kokowääh" (2011/2013) and "Honig im Kopf" (2014) ).
In 2017, Zickler, together with Studio Babelsberg, founded the production company Traumfabrik Babelsberg with the aim of developing and producing more German cinema films in Babelsberg. The first own production was "Traumfabrik" (2019).
