Acclaimed action-filmmaker Tony Scott has expressed interest in developing Giovinazzo's crime novel, Potsdamer Platz into a motion picture.
About 750 m in length, it ran northwards through the Tiergarten park from Kemperplatz (an intersection of roads on the southern edge of the park near Potsdamer Platz), to Königsplatz, in which stood the Berlin Victory Column, in its original position in front of the Reichstag (German Parliament building).

The firm went on to develop more than 300 building projects around the world, including the Torre Norte skyscraper in São Paulo, Brazil, as well as the Equitable Center on Seventh Avenue in New York and the Sony Center at Potsdamer Platz in Berlin.
The French use of the word "place", —— where, in the USA, the UK, Canada, etc., an English-speaker would use the word "square", —— follows the pattern established in other European languages: the Spanish use the cognate, "plaza" (like Madrid's Plaza Mayor); the Germans use "platz" (Berlin's Potsdamer Platz); the Italians use "piazza" (Rome's Piazza Navona); etc.
A 2005 film by Jordan Scott (the daughter of Ridley Scott) depicts Canadian model Daria Werbowy moving through various urban scenes (such as a nightclub, the back of a taxi, and around Potsdamer Platz in Berlin), while a recitation from the poem is read in as a form of narrative commentary.
