Marcus Loges has been appointed as the new head of production at the renowned German studio Studio Babelsberg, the studio announced on Wednesday. He will succeed Henning Molfenter, who has led Babelsberg’s production efforts for the last two decades, starting on January 1.

Loges has an extensive background in production, having worked on several films shot at Babelsberg, including the sci-fi film Cloud Atlas, which was co-directed by the Wachowski siblings and Tom Tykwer, as well as the Netflix series The Queen’s Gambit. He has been involved in various projects produced by the Wachowskis in Germany, serving as a producer for their Netflix series Sense8 and as a production manager on V for Vendetta and Ninja Assassin directed by James McTeigue.

Most recently, Loges served as a line producer for the acclaimed German series Babylon Berlin, co-created by Tykwer, Henk Handloegten, and Achim von Borries.

“It is a great honor and pleasure for me to return to Babelsberg – a place that has always represented the fusion of tradition and innovation, and has been a leader in groundbreaking international collaborations,” Loges stated. “I am excited to further enhance and shape this unique location alongside the team in my new capacity.”

Loges’ appointment follows last month’s announcement of Jörg Bachmaier as the new CEO of the studio. This organizational change comes after the studio’s acquisition by the U.S. investment firm TPG Real Estate in 2022, which also owns Cinespace Studios in Chicago and Cinespace Toronto.

Loges will collaborate closely with Babelsberg CEO Jörg Bachmaier and the studio board, especially Eike Wolf, who is the director of studio operations and marketing.

Bachmaier expressed gratitude to Molfenter for his dedication to the studio over the years. Molfenter has been at the helm of film and TV production at this historic studio since 2004 and played a crucial role in revitalizing it by attracting major Hollywood productions. His notable production credits include Roman Polanski’s The Pianist, Quentin Tarantino’s Inglourious Basterds, Roland Emmerich’s Anonymous, Wes Anderson’s The Grand Budapest Hotel and Asteroid City, as well as the Russo Brothers’ Captain America: Civil War, and Chad Stahelski’s John Wick: Chapter 4.
