Matthias Schweighfer Tried to Get the Truth Out of Producer Before He Died

Oppenheimer star Matthias Schweighfer is jazzed to play eccentric hit music producer Frank Farian, the German record producer who orchestrated the rise of '80s duo Milli Vanilli, subjects of the new biopic, Girl You Know Its True. But a pivotal moment arrived prior to the shoot when the actor actually had an opportunity to Zoom with Farian before the infamous producer passed away this year. As a producer, he acquired other songs from random groups and saw an opportunity with the young dancers Rob Pilatus and Fab Morvan, but he told them they could only lip-sync tracks in music videos.
