Kidnap thriller The Disappearance Of Alice Creed remade for Dutch audiences.
Producer Frans van Gestel is at the Rotterdam International Film Festival (Iffr) drumming up international interest in Joram Lürsen’s new thriller Reckless (Bloedlink), a Dutch remake of British kidnap thriller The Disappearance Of Alice Creed.
The film, produced by Oscar-nominated Dutch outfit Topkapi Films, is directly based on J Blakeson’s 2009 thriller, which starred Gemma Arterton, Eddie Marsan and Martin Compston
Speaking to ScreenDaily in Rotterdam, van Gestel said that the new film, now in post-production, is aimed primarily at a Dutch audience.
“Obviously, if you make a remake of a British film, it is not meant to travel around the world. It is meant to work really strongly in the domestic market.”
Van Gestel together with screenwriter Frank Ketelaar was looking for genre stories that could be made for a modest budget of around €1m.

It had me confounded, in the most delightful way, and left me with a big stupid grin on my face and tears in my eyes. I’m “biast” (pro): nothing
I’m “biast” (con): nothing
(what is this about? see my critic’s minifesto)
If you see lots of movies, eventually it gets to be easy to predict where the latest one is going. But the deeply weird Matterhorn had me confounded, in the most delightful way, from the start. We meet Fred (Ton Kas), who lives alone in a small Dutch town, just a few doors down from his austere church; a photo of, perhaps, a wife and son hints that life was once fuller, but now the high point of Fred’s day appears to his bland meat-and-potatoes dinner, at 6pm on the dot, and not a moment sooner. Writer-director Diederik Ebbinge allows us to be...

The film’s lead actress, Jale Arikan, also picked up the Best Actress Silver George for her performance as Zeynep, trying to make ends meet in the dusty and dim atmosphere of abandoned apartments evacuated for clearance.

(This one puts the gut-punch back in Punchline...) This year, Matterhorn won the Audience Award of the International Film Festival Rotterdam, the first Dutch film since 1997's The Polish Bride to do so. Local films were strongly represented in the Audience Awards, as no less than three Dutch titles wound up in the Top 10. Even so, Matterhorn stands out because it won the award with an astonishingly high scoring average of 4.725 out of 5. On top of that, it was a world premiere And the debut film of its director Diederik Ebbinge, a well-known actor and comedian who also wrote the script. Whoa! To be honest: I missed seeing the film during its run at the festival, but thankfully it went into wide...
