Does anyone know what language this was shot in?
I saw it in english, but i'm certain the lip movements don't match whats being said. Looks like it was dubed into english, but I can't imagine they got kristanna and all the other american / english actors to speak german.
did they mix languages, then dub both versions?
In my TVmagazine they say it's a 'German-British-Italian-American TeleVision-drama'
I saw the english version just 15min. ago, the lip movements looked ok the whole time according to me.
Though German wouldn't have been to difficult for me, since I live in Belgium.
i just saw the movie to (i'm also from belgium ;-))
was it really german? i thought it was some scandinavian language or something (would fit in the movie tho)
I'm quite sure that the movie was made in english, but some of the dialog of the non english actors has been dubed...
shareYeah, thats what I was thinking too. I'll have to take another look to be sure, but i guess i'll just get the english DVD version. can't imagine they'd not include the original version on a DVD release
sharethat happened in another TV production i've watched. BBC's Napoleon Bonaparte
shareSome actors were dubbed, but there's some icelandic (that, or Old Norse, I think) here and there, but those parts should be (forced) subtitled on any DVD I guess. Overall it wasn't anything that annoyed me, I've seen much worse. :-)
shareJust a little nitpicking - the lines Sigfried recites at his father's death, those are genuine old norse (taken directly from a very well known icelandic epic called "Hávamál"), but that other language spoken by that nieblung wiz is definitely not old norse, icelandic or any other scandinavian or german language. I haven't got a clue what the heck it's supposed to be :/

Maybe the Nibelung was speaking Old Dwavish or something along those lines.

Maybe it's the language of the Nibelungs, created by one [or more] of the writers.
