The producer Franz Marischka and his half-brother Georg Marischka got to know Rothlein by chance and engaged him as Haukaropora in the planned Karl May film project The Legacy of the Inka . Another project, The Black Gerard , was not realized because The Legacy of the Inca did not become a financial success.
