\n

\n German theater owners got some good news<\/a> Thursday night with mini-major Constantin Film unveiling that it has greenlit a sequel to Manitou\u2019s Shoe<\/em>, the blockbuster comedy Western from Michael \u201cBully\u201d Herbig and one of the most successful German movies<\/a> of all time. <\/p>\n

\n Herbig broke the news to an industry crowd at the Munich Filmweek Thursday night, confirming he was returning to direct and star in The Canoe of Manitou<\/em>, the sequel to his 2001 hit. He also posted a confirmation on his Instagram feed, noting that the movie will hit theaters next year. <\/p>\n

\n

\n Herbig will reprise his role as Apache chief Abahachi, with the original co-stars from the first movie, Christian Tramitz and Rick Kavanian returning to play Ranger and Dimitri. <\/p>\n

\n Manitou\u2019s Shoe<\/em> is a parody of the Winnetou<\/em> Westerns of the 1960s, European-shot movies inspired by the writings of Karl May, a 19th-century German writer of Wild West adventure tales who had no real-life experience of the cultures he was describing. While the movies were tremendously successful, and reruns remain a staple of German matinee TV, both May and the Winnetou<\/em> films have been sharply criticized as brazen examples of cultural app<\/a>ropriation. Not least because the titular hero of the films, the \u201cApache\u201d Winnetou, was played by the white Frenchman Pierre Brice. <\/p>\n

\n In 2022, a Winnetou<\/em> prequel film, The Young Chief Winnetou<\/em>, was dogged by protests and a German publisher pulled two tie-in children\u2019s books from its lineup amid accusations of racism. <\/p>\n

\n No such protest accompanied the release of Herbig\u2019s Manitou\u2019s Shoe<\/em>, which was a monster hit, grossing more than $65 million in Germany alone, making it one of the most successful German-language films of all time. <\/p>\n

\n Herbig pokes fun at many of the culturally inappropriate aspects of the Winnetou<\/em> films \u2014including the \u201credfacing\u201d casting of Brice \u2014but the parody is gentle and affectionate towards the original movies. It remains to be seen how that approach will land in the current, more polarized, cultural moment. <\/p>\n

\n For Herbig, The Canoe of Manitou<\/em> is a return to his comedic roots after directing the 2018 East Berlin escape thriller Balloon<\/em> and 2022\u2019s A Thousand Lines<\/em>, a look at a real-life fake news scandal that rocked the German media<\/a> establishment. Both films were critically acclaimed but did not deliver at the box office. <\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n
