 regista Roland EmmerichROLAND EMMERICH

Roland Emmerich (Stuttgart, 10 November 1955) is a German film director, screenwriter and producer.
From adolescence on he developed a profound interest in cinema; undoubtedly his favorite kind of film (to be seen and filmed) is the catastrophic, which is based on the use of large amounts of special effects, such as The Day After Tomorrow - The Dawn of the Day after, Independence Day or 2012 by he direct, who are an example. He is the brother of Ute Emmerich, producer among other things of all his films since Fantasmi in Hollywood, but also of films to which the director appears as a producer, as - for example - Year 1345: the impossible crusade.
