Oamaru set for Mr Pip- 휴 로리가 출연하는 영화, 오마루에서 촬영

 

 

우리에는 너무나도 익숙한 '닥터 하우스'로 유명한 휴 로리가 오마루에 와서 Mr Pip이라는 영화촬영을 하게됩니다. 오스카상 노미니였던 키위 영화감독 Andrew Adamson가 만드는 Mr Pip이라는 영화의 촬영을 오마루 항구,Old town 지역에서 촬영을 한다고 합니다.

7월 18일에서 8월 20일까지 약 한달간을 오마루에서 영화촬영을 한다고하는데, 기회가 되면 한번 가서

영화가 어떻게 찍어지는지도 보고 싶고, 거의 매일 TV로 보는 닥터 하우스의 얼굴도 보고 싶네요.

오마루에 대해서 사진으로나마 아실수 있을 것 같네요.

Mr. Pip 영화에 대해서....

▶로이드 존스(Lloyd Jones)의 <미스터 핍>(Mister Pip)

파푸아뉴기니 부건빌 섬에서 일어난 내전 배경으로 한 <Mister Pip>은 작가 로이드 존스가 부건빌에서 탈출한 생존자들의 증언으로 바탕으로 쓴 소설이다. 내전으로 인해 학교가 문을 닫자 무료해진 아이들을 위해 섬에 남은 유일한 백인인 톰 와츠가 디킨스의 소설 '위대한 유산'을 읽어주는 것으로 시작하는 이 소설은 전쟁의 아픔이 마틸다라는 소녀의 순수한 시선을 통해 담담하게,

 

그러나 감동적으로 그려져 있다. 2007년 몬타나 뉴질랜드 북 어워드의 몬타나 메달과 오스트레일리아 연방작가상의 수상작이며 같은 해 부커상 후보에 올라 세계적인 관심을 받았다.

 

 

 

Oamaru set for Mr Pip

 

Hollywood is coming to Oamaru.

A film adaptation of Lloyd Jones' best-selling novel Mr Pip by Oscar-nominated Kiwi director Andrew Adamson, starring House and Blackadder actor Hugh Laurie, will start filming in Oamaru and around the Waitaki district on July 18.

Filming will take place at the Oamaru harbour and historic precinct, and at Campbell's Park, Otekaieke and Fortification Road, Waitaki District Council corporate services group manager Carolyn Carter said in a report to council.

Filming is expected to wrap up in the district on August 20.

Oamaru landscape architect Dugal Amour had the job of showing Adamson and other directors around the freezer building and red sheds in the harbour area when they visited.

"Andrew's been here before – he did The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe here (at Elephant Rocks) – so I think he liked the set out there," Mr Amour said.

"Oamaru's obviously got the charm they want."

Whitestone Civic Trust chair Phil Hope said it was another great use of the town's heritage architecture.

"We've had films here before and this would be another great one to have."

Adamson, whose work includes the Shrek and Chronicles of Narnia film series, has written the screenplay and will direct and produce the film, which is to begin filming in New Zealand and Papua New Guinea, this month.

Shortlisted for the Booker Prize, Mr Pip tells the story of the last white man left in war-torn Papua New Guinea, who reopens a school and inspires his pupils by reading his favourite novel, Great Expectations.

Laurie, who will film only in Bougainville, told the Hollywood Reporter last month he was "hooked" on the screenplay from the start.

"From the first words of the novel, and the first image of the screenplay, I was hooked on Mr Pip," Laurie said. "It's an immensely touching, unique, yet completely unsentimental story of love. It is unlike any script I have read, or any story I have ever heard. Plus I get to go to Papua New Guinea and call it work. I am a very lucky man."

Adamson is quoted as saying he wanted to adapt Jones' book as soon as he read it.

"I read Mr Pip on a flight and, by the time of landing, knew I would make this film. It's a testament to Lloyd's wonderful novel that it has captured the hearts of Hugh, Robin, Leslie and an incredible group of like-minded collaborators."

Leslie Urdang and Dean Vanech of Olympus Pictures are financing and producing the film with Robin Scholes' Eyeworks New Zealand and Agio Capital, with support from the Film Commission, NZ on Air and TV3.
