CBS… Deze grote Amerikaanse zender wil me interviewen over de film…
Eerder plaatsten o.a. Washington Post, New York Times artikelen over de film.
En nu begint het weer. Emails met verzoeken uit Amerika.
Waarschijnlijk staan er straks bij de premiere op 22 september een paar Amerikaanse pers-camera’s. En wellicht ook uit Peru, want die mailen ook steeds.
En CBS dus: Hieronder staat het schriftelijke interview wat ze vandaag al plaatsten op hun CBS-site in Birmingham, Alabama, wat een band met Natalee Holloway heeft.
Vreemd om je eigen foto voorop op hun homepagina te zien staan: En de kop is dat de film “about to premiere” is.
Dit is het artikel:
Birmingham, Ala (WIAT) The fact is stranger than fiction tale of Natalee Holloway's disappearance on Aruba is about to hit the big screen in a fictional account by Dutch film maker Paul Ruven.
"Me and Mr. Jones on Natalee Island" will debut September 22 at the Utrecht Film Festival in The Netherlands.
CBS42.com: How has the ever changing real life drama (discovery of Stephany Flores’ body while you were filming on Aruba; the ongoing saga of bizarre tales coming out of the Castro Castro prison; the recent disappearance of yet another American on Aruba) affected your film project?
Paul Ruven: A COUPLE OF DAYS BEFORE SHOOTING THE NEWS ABOUT STEPHANY FLORES BROKE. I CHANGED THE SCRIPT THEN QUITE A BIT. AND DURING SHOOTING WE ADJUSTED THINGS BECAUSE OF THE NEWS UPDATES WE GOT. SO YES, IT AFFECTED THE SCRIPT ENORMOUSLY.
CBS42.com: Have you done any rewriting, reshooting, reediting in response?
IT WAS NERVE WRECKING. BECAUSE ARUBA WAS IN STRESS AGAIN BECAUSE IT FEARED ANOTHER BLOW BY JORAN, FEARING THE TOURISTS WOULD STAY AWAY, WHICH IS BAD FOR TOURIST-DEPENDENT ARUBA.
CBS42.com: Was there a point in the project where you stepped back and asked yourself….wow, what have I gotten into here?
Paul Ruven: YES, AT THE MOMENT I HEARD THAT JORAN ALLEGEDLY KILLED STEPHANY. BECAUSE IT CHANGED EVERYTHING. BUT THEN I REALISED IT ONLY STRENGTHENED THE VISION WE ALREADY HAD.
CBS42.com: What is the “message” of your film regarding the Holloway case and Aruban handling of it?
Paul Ruven: SEE THE MOVIE. WE TRIED TO GIVE ALL SIDES OF THE STORY INSIDE THE STORY OF THE MOVIE. SEE WWW.MEANDMRJONESTHEMOVIE.COM
CBS42.com: Is the Holloway family and their actions since 2005 part of the film?
Paul Ruven: NO. BUT I THINK MESSAGE-WISE THEY WILL AGREE WITH THE MOVIE
CBS42.com: Does the Robyn Gardner disappearance evoke even more interest in the story you’re telling…if only as contemporary backdrop?
Paul Ruven: IT IS BIZARRE. I CAN’T SAY MUCH BECAUSE WE DON’T KNOW MUCH
CBS42.com: What is the status of North American distribution? Theatres? DVD? Television? Other?
Paul Ruven: WE GOT SO MANY EMAILS FROM ALL OVER THE WORLD. WE HAVE A “WORLDWIDE PREMIERE”. SO AFTER THE DUTCH PREMIERE ON SEPT 22 2011, FOR THE USA: IT WILL BE ON AMAZON USA , ITUNES USA AND HULA USA.
AT THE DUTCH PREMIERE THE WORLD FAMOUS BAND WITHIN TEMPTATION (JUST BACK FROM THEIR AMERICAN TOUR) WILL PERFORM THE TITLE SONG OF THE MOVIE “WHERE IS THE EDGE”.
