In 2006, Bohlen produced Dieter: Der Film, which is based on his first autobiography Nichts als die Wahrheit (English: "Nothing But the Truth"), released in 2002. The film's soundtrack contains a previously unreleased Modern Talking song, "Shooting Star", which consists of fragments of older songs of the band such as "Don't Take Away My Heart", "Cosmic Girl", "Fly to the Moon", "Time Is on My Side", "Send Me a Letter from Heaven", "I'm Not Guilty", or "After Your Love Is Gone". The song contained only the typical falsetto choruses, because Anders was not available for this production.[clarification needed]
In 2017, Bohlen released a Modern Talking album titled Back for Gold. It contains new versions of the band's first six singles produced by him, as well as a remastered version of "Shooting Star".[4]
