Get closer to superstardom at Germany's Film City

The Film City near Munich is offering visitors the chance to star in their own movie.

Filmed by four cameras, guests at the Bavaria Filmstadt museum dress up in costume and take part in dramas.

The tricks of the film industry are also made clear to those at the museum and the museum's stunt show demonstrates the type of dramatic stunts - such as falling off roofs - that are performed in action films such as James Bond.

It also houses a 4D cinema which shows the most recent computer-animated programmes.

The museum is based in real film studios and visitors are guided around the sets of famous Germand TV shows and street sets and a large live screen allows people to watch the filming of German soap Marienhof.

Original pieces of film memorabilia are also in the museum including the mythical creature from the Never Ending Story and the model submarine from Das Boot.

Munich is the capital of the German state of Bavaria and is the third largest city in Germany.
