[FINALE] Lorenzo Renzi and Natale Stefani in Cologne

Shooting interviews with Vincent and Edgar...
In November we had the pleasure of welcoming Italian actors Lorenzo Renzi and Natale Stefani here in Cologne, Germany. They came in order to discuss their characters Vincent and Edgar with us and in order to shoot interviews for you guys to enjoy on the FINALE website soon.
It was the second time in Cologne for both actors. The first time they were here was when they shot their teasers which you can check out in the teaser section.
When I picked the guys up at the airport I was so amazed by Lorenzo’s shape. Since the last time we saw him he added 20kg of muscle mass. All this for his role of Vincent, the ex-boxer, this is true dedication. One of the first things Lorenzo asked me after we got into the car was , “Hey Hussain, is there a gym close-by to my hotel? I need to stay in shape.” He told me about his daily routine of eating 14 eggs every single day.
Natale confirmed this to me the next morning after him and Lorenzo had breakfast at the hotel. He said that the other people in the hotel’s restaurant couldn’t believe their eyes when they saw Lorenzo gathering about 10 eggs on his plate. It is so good to know that all this, all the efforts of everybody involved, will pay off once FINALE is released.
The first day we had talks about FINALE, the storyline and the characters and the next day we shot interviews with the guys. They both provided us with great material to work with and it was a pleasure editing the interviews. They will be released on this website soon.
The funniest part of it all was a fake interview that we shot where Lorenzo and Natale slip into their characters who are being interviewed by FINALE team member Marco. There really is some funny stuff which you will see in a couple of weeks. Please give us your feedback.
The same day we shot the interviews it was Natale’s birthday. So it is needless to say that we had dinner later that night and we were joined by a few friends. Among them were FINALE editor Katrin Staub and FINALE DoP Kai Longolius and his lovely wife Kirsten. We had some great laughs. Lorenzo demonstrated how useful it was having so huge muscles by putting a sugar sprinkler on his shoulders and Natale really enjoyed his birthday cake.
Later on the guys went to an arcade place and Rouchdi and Lorenzo competed in a boxing match. Not the way you might think, though. Just check the pictures and you’ll know what I’m talking about.
The next morning it was time to say goodbye to Lorenzo and Natale as I drove them back to the airport. I guess the next time we'll see the guys again will be around May when the shooting of FINALE will start. Next up for us is a trip to Seoul in January. So be sure to check back for the new blog entry soon.
