Jasper M. de Gier will relaunch the company, which was declared insolvent 13 years ago.

The Munich-based predecessor, which was founded in 1991 by the late Werner Koenig and Martin Heldmann and finally wound up in 2003 after prolonged insolvency proceedings, was launched this week in Berlin by de Gier’s Luxembourg-based financial investment company de Gier & Co.

The reincarnation will focus on film production, film distribution...
