Why We Fight

I have no idea why Lydie fights me and I doubt that she knows herself. I fight her only because of the tapes. That´s all I want. Lydie and I did agree to shoot a movie together, we shot it, I want to edit it and I want to release and distribute it, just the way Lydie and I had agreed on.

There are discussions about supporting Lydie even if she IS evil if you are her fan. I can understand that. Fans are loyal to their idols and there is more evil "talent" out there that you can think of, so why not. I also have no problems to admit that Lydie is a terrific actress. I did not know Perfect Alibi and bought it after our fight already was on. Inspite I watched it and admit she is wonderful (and in the movie she very much behaves the way she did on our set). The other question is if you support your idol if she runs amok and starts telling lies to achieve what she wants and if she asks you to join her in running amok.

Several persons on our set had to make such a decisions when Lydie started her take-over attempt. Katja, Jeannie and Vonny did not support her.
Jörg stayed as a DP at my request but step by step was replaced by Roswitha´s husband. The editor Philipp had to make a difficult decision as he was a friend of Roswitha`s but when he realized what was going on he did refuse to give Lydie the edited material. In fact this stopped her, she could not go to Cannes to show the trailer. Other members of crew and cast seriously thought of supporting Lydie as there might have been the chance that she takes her to a big US production company, something few people in the business are offered; some others suported me.

Roswitha whom I knew since many years and whom I considered a friend supported Lydie in every way, taking a lawyer and even claiming this was A LYDIE DENIER PRODUCTION and that I had nothing to do with it and that I was not even on the set.

And Michael Worth, Lydie´s former Acapulco H.E.A.T. co-star also had to make a decision. He is Lydie´s friend for a long time. He is himself a producer and after shooting I and he emailed us many times. He never really said so, but I thought he does not approve what Lydie did, and I think somehow this did affect their relationship.

However he had to make another decision. When Lydie went to Santa Monica Court I was in Germany and had no time to fly to LA, so I asked Michael Worth who lives in California, to go to Santa Monica Court to the Hearing and tell the judge Lydie does not tell the truth. He refused. He knew Lydie did lie, he knew I am NOT a stalker. We were together on the set and he knew I did produce A Bouquet for a Kill and he could have stopped Lydie but he didn´t. He probably did not approve what Lydie did but as her friend he did not want to do something against her.

Looking back I think this was wrong. Before Lydie went to Santa Monica Court and went public uploading on her website this TMZ article saying she is stalked by a crazy fan, this was a fight between Lydie and me behind the scenes. It was not public and almost noone knew that Lydie tried to take over Bouquet.

After Lydie told SMC and the press that I am a stalker, I had no other choice to fight back. As everything that is uploaded in the www is there everytime anywhere I had to inform everyone everywhere Lydie did not tell the truth. And I do this very well. I wrote to newspapers, websites, and did upload almost every day statements and articles to make sure everyone realizes that what Lydie tells about me is not true. I am lucky to have photos, witnesses and videotapes showing me and Lydie together on the set of A Bouquet for a Kill. If an woman accuses someone to have stalked her it is her word against the other. In my case I had enough evidence Lydie is not telling the truth I only had to upload it. Result: Lydie wanted to ruin my reputation but she is about to ruin her own reputation.
If Michael Worth had gone to SMC he would have done Lydie even a favor, because what happened now is really evil. This was a little low budget movie and Lydie now risks a lot, not only her reputation. I have already mailed Santa Monica Court and LASD evidence and the dvds with A Bouquet for a Kill / Outtakes and all I have to do now is to fly to LA, and sue Lydie. If I do so, SMC will have officially evidence that Denier did show SMC F A L S I F I E D evidence and that she did lie to SMC. If she does not notify SMC what really happened BEFORE I fly to LA and sue her she will be in real trouble. It´s illegal what she did and even more, it´s so stupid. And I wished she had some real friends who had stopped her and just told her to give me my tapes.

There are two ways you can fight. You can fight in an honest way telling always the truth. And I can tell you THIS will be a long, long fight. Or you can tell lies and fight unfair. This can lead to a shortime success but in the end, it´s not working.
Lydie decided to fight unfair. I do not know what she made think that this is going to work. Maybe she is evil, maybe she acts just silly, I do not know. Maybe she had earlier success fighting this way.
The other way is to fight fair and just tell the truth.

Anyway there is not much left what she can do now. She can try to cover her old fairy tales with new fairy tells ang get herself more and more and more in trouble or she ends this stupid fight and returns my tapes. I absolutely detest what she did but I will keep my word. If she returns my tapes so I can edit a producer´s cut she will get digital copy of every tape I have from Bouquet and she can edit her director´s cut just the way she wants to do it and we will sell both versions. I do not see the point why we should fight over this. We fight for three years now. I am not happy. I need my time and money for new projects and I think Lydie should also feel better if this fight ends so we all can concentrate on new projects. It´s up to Lydie. It´s her decision, not mine. I fight for my movie no matter how long it take.
Sincerely,

The Missing Links

Lydie as a director: yes, she CAN direct. She has Hollywood experience and she knows how to direct cast and crew. I like the way the scenes look she directed and she knows how to do it. The problem with Lydie and shooting with her A Bouquet for a Kill was she used more energy in fighting me as a producer than in shooting the movie. As a director she acted U N P R O F E S S I O N A L running away from the set, breaking her contract with me, leaving cast and crew with an unfinished movie and not returning some of the tapes to me so we cannot edit the long version.
Of what I have I edited the 30 minute version now, but there are many, many scenes, some of the best, Lydie did not return to me cheating me, cheating the cast and crew and cheating also her fans who did not see her in a new movie or big part for quiete some years.

Among the scenes we shot but I could not use so far are:
the scenes we shot with Lydie, Michael Worth (her former Acapulco H.E.A.T. co-star, and two German actresses) in the CASA Italiana, a nice Italian restaurant in Berlin where we also shot some scenes for The Moonlight Orchids recently. I did get us this loaction and the owners can confirm that I was on location during shooting. (German actress Roswitha Schreiner´s lawyer claims I had not been present during shooting long version). DP Jörg Peter and other members of cast and crew can confirm, I have been present!)
Later that evening we shot some scenes with Michael Worth and other actors / actresses using Rolf Eden´s Rolls Royce.
Great scenes I could not use editing so far.
The other day Lydie, Roswitha, Rolf Eden, Michael Worth, other actresses including Katja Bienert shot some scenes at a doctor´s place, a friend of Roswitha´s. Early in the morning Roswitha spoke on my answering machine, I should come and bring the props to the location, but unfortunately I am not allowed to enter as she told me there are only few people allowed there due to health care reasons. I refused to drive to the location if they would not let me in and DP Jörg Peter came to my place to pick the props up. They shot the hospital scenes there, without me.

Next day they shot at Rolf Eden´s place, Lydie, Roswitha and Michael Worth. Katja was there shortly and Jörg later called me Lydie and Roswitha had invited reporters to the place while I was not present and told them they are shooting here an US movie for an US "women´s channel".

I met Lydie, Michael Worth and cast and crew later that day. We shot in the evening the scenes in the P.I.´office. Lydie had called me several times to make sure I will bring the revolver to the location. I had earlier met with Lydie in a restaurant to show her some real looking revolver which could shoot blankets and a plastic pistol. Lydie wanted the revolver. Later she claimed I had threatened to kill her with the revolver in the restaurant. Again, I have been present during shooting. Remember: Roswitha´s lawyer claims I had not been present. I got us this location too.

Then we shot some very intense and creepy scenes on location in Hans-Jürgen`s apartment where we already had shot the German episode "Die Hexe" with Katja and Mona Glass playing the roles now played by Lydie and Roswitha. Lydie added a beautiful scene with herself in bed and lots of candles. I was only present early in the morning bringing some props to the set and went before Lydie arrived on the set.

All the scenes I mentioned here are on tapes which "vanished" after shooting. Lydie as a director is responsible for those tapes and I want these tapes returned to me so I can start editing. That´s what this fight is about.

I also have some scenes shot by Andreas with Roswitha on Bali but so far I did not use them as without the other missing scenes they are out of context and make no sense beautiful as they are.

There are some strange discussions in the internet by some of Lydie´s fans, some of them wondering if Lydie is in danger. Some offering her help and some offering her good advise especially not to ruin her reputiation and this bad karma things...

The only danger for Lydie is Lydie herself. As far as I am concerned I only want my tapes back to edit my movie. I owe this to myself, to Vonny and Jörg who also have money in the picture, to the whole cast and crew who did work in and for A Bouquet for a Kill and even to Roswitha who loved to play the part but then decided to follwo Lydie in her running amok attitude and who both are about to destroy our work from months.
Movies are made to be watched and Roswitha and Lydie both claimed in interviews how much they loved to work in this project. Then Lydie ruined almost everything with her silly take-over attempt. WE COULD HAVE DONE A HOLLYWOOD VERSION !!! It was not me who ruined this. It was Lydie. But nothing is lost as long as she has not destroyed the tapes. All she has to do is to return the tapes. I will not break my contract. I´ll fight her as long as I live if she does not return the tapes. But I also love and adore her as an actress. We shot a good movie and I want to edit it and release it the way Lydie and I have promised this to each other.

Lydie claims I would stalk her and that I want to kill her. That´s nonsense. I never threated to kill her. And I did not want our fight go public. It was Lydie´s decision to go public. It was Lydie´s decision to lie to Santa Monica court and to the press. I only had to fight back, I have no other choice. I will always fight fair, Lyide does not. To claim your producer is an insane stalker who wants to kill you is not what I consider a fair fight.
As far as I am concerned I never wanted to fight Lydie. I always wanted to fight with Lydie for a good movie. The only danger for Lydie IS Lydie. In telling all those lies she did ruin her reputation, not mine.
There is one fan of hers who wrote her he will love her EVEN if it´s true that she is a bad person. I know Lydie since many years I understand why he writes this. Lydie Denier IS magic. She has an uncanny power over other people. I´ve seen her manipulating an actress I know since many years and whom I considered my friend but after some weeks with Lydie she would do everything for Lydie including backstabbing me and making her lawyer writing things about me that were not true.

But I totally agree with what one of her fans writes. These things backfire. I am not Lydie´s enemy and I do not plan to do her harm. And Lydie does know that very well.
I asked her again and again just to tell the truth and return my tapes and stay with the contract she has with me.
That´s all.
Ahoi,
Michael Huck

A Letter to the Governor


I considered it my duty to inform Governor Schwarzenegger Ms Denier is enlisting SMC and US authorities in her fight against me, that Ms Denier wastes US tax payers money and she uses false evidence against me. Here´s the letter to the Governor.
Sincerely Yours,
