Overview
- Moritz Borman, a German-born producer, died July 1 in Munich while his team was shooting an untitled Netflix film about Monsanto, his longtime partners told Deadline.
- Producers Eric Kopeloff and Philip Schulz-Deyle said Borman apparently died of natural causes and offered their condolences to his family and colleagues.
- Borman worked in film for more than four decades and produced over 25 features, including two Terminator sequels and multiple collaborations with director Oliver Stone.
- The Monsanto project is directed by John Lee Hancock and Kopeloff and Schulz-Deyle said they will complete the film in Borman’s name after years of development.
- Industry statements frame Borman as a bridge between European and Hollywood cinema and his death raises questions about the film’s immediate logistics and any further official details about his cause of death.
