Indie Director Lars Kokemüller Comes With Leon Must Die, A Movie That Recalls Terminator
Since 1984, when ‘The Terminator’ was first released, moviemakers
have been trying to enter the ‘Assassin from the Future’ genre with
varying degrees of success. A new German production, ‘Leon Must Die’,
tries to tap the same territory and proves to be an entertaining fare.
Directed by Lars Kokemüller and produced by Lars Kokemüller, the film is
an attempt of its indie filmmakers from Germany to reach an audience
that goes beyond the range of their movie.
The movie is about a
woman named Aqua sent back in time to kill a young, terminally ill man
named Leon who has invented how to download human minds into computers
and wants to prolong his own life. His invention has ruffled some
feathers as it can ensure the continuation of humankind. However, Aqua
is unable to kill Leon and falls in love with him. Her boss, Luna, sends
another killer, XP 10-3, to finish off Leon. Aqua stands between Leon
and XP 10-3 to save her lover. However, another woman comes to convince
Leon to download his mind immediately. This sets a perfect chaotic
scenario that takes the movie forward to an exciting climax.
The
film stars Philip Spreen, Nisan Arikan, Alexander F. Obe, Ebba Ekholm,
Dustin Leitol, Vikrotia Steiber, Jens Holzheuer and Christoph Hars among
others. The story and music are by Lars Kokemüller and the visual
effects are given by Christian Grundey. The Radikal & Arrogant
production immediately brings the immensely popular Terminator series to
the mind.
About Leon Must Die:
Although it
is shot on minimal budget, the movie Leon Must Die delivers the
philosophy of the James Cameron movies has a tongue in cheek kind of
storytelling. It is endearing to see the attempt of the director to
bring to life this unusual tale of science fiction with likeable actors
and subtle efforts.
