With “The Shoe of Manitu” Michael “Bully” Herbig delivered an absolute cinema hit. Now, almost 25 years later, he is filming the sequel: “The Canoe of Manitu”

After almost a quarter of a century, Michael “Bully” Herbig (55) continues his hit film “The Shoe of Manitu”. “The Canoe of Manitou is scheduled to be released in cinemas in 2025,” said the production company Constantin Film in Munich. Michael Herbig will take his place in the director’s chair again. The script comes from Herbig, Christian Tramitz and Rick Kavanian.

After sketches from the ProSieben comedy show “Bullyparade”, Herbig made the feature film “The Shoe of Manitu” in 2000, a parody of the Winnetou films of the 1960s. The comedy was released in cinemas in the summer of 2001. With almost 12 million visitors at the time, it was one of the most successful German cinema films ever.

Filming for the sequel “The Canoe of Manitu” is scheduled to take place this year. Details about the cast will be available in the coming months. RTL is on board for the first time in a cinema production of Bully, Constantin Film said.
