German director Wim Wenders has stopped production on the planned 3D dance film "Pina" following the death of the film's subject the legendary choreographer Pina Bausch.
Philippine "Pina" Bausch (July 27, 1940 – June 30, 2009)was a German modern dance choreographer and a leading influence in the development of the Tanztheater style of dance.
Bausch, who is often credited with having revolutionized modern dance, died on Tuesday after being diagnosed with cancer only days earlier. She was 68 years' old. She had been preparing the film project with Wenders, which was to be the first dance film shot in 3-D.
Ernst Wilhelm ("Wim") Wenders (born 14 August 1945, Düsseldorf) is a German film director, playwright, author, photographer and producer.
Wenders' production company Neue Road Movies said it had stopped all pre-production work on the film. After a mourning period, the company will discuss with Bausch's dance company in Wuppertal whether and how to proceed.
