Natalee Holloway Film in the Works
I guess it was just a matter of time before someone made a movie about Natalee Holloway, the student who disappeared in 2005 while on a class trip to Aruba, one of the islands in the Dutch Antilles.
Dutch producer/director Hans Pos, of Shooting Star Film Company, has announced plans for a Dutch feature film based loosely on her disappearance, and possible murder.
The case attracted tons of publicity, both in the U.S. and Netherlands, as the main suspect was filmed with a hidden camera by crime reporter Peter R. de Vries (pictured) for a program for Sbs Broadcasting of the Netherlands. The film was nominated for an Emmy Award.
I’m trying to think how I’d feel about the film if I was Natalee’s parents… just not sure… How would you feel if it was your daughter? At this point, I’d probably want to put it behind me and move on.
Pos will base the Natalee Holloway film on the crime novel “Vuurkoraal,” written by Dutch journalist Annet de Jong. Screenwriter Simon de Waal is penning the adaptation, with a 2009 release planned.
