October 9, 201114 yr It's no more offensive than any of the movies made about 9/11 or any other tragedy. ...not that I agreed with any of those either. <_< Check out my blog to read the Adventures of a Big Damn (F2P) Hero. THE place for all free players to connect, hang out and talk about how awesome it is to be F2P. So, Kaida is the real version of every fictional science-badass? That explains a lot, actually...
October 9, 201114 yr This could be interesting, though I doubt it. My first impression is that this tragedy just wouldn't make a good movie.
October 9, 201114 yr Personally, I think it should be illegal to make a movie based off a horrific tragedy until 2-3 years pass, so it wouldn't profit off any media hype. It's bad enough the Utoya Island incident is being forgotten here, but I would be downright annoyed if this movie blurred anything about the tragedy or what it taught. In fact, the trailer made it look like some semi-low budget action movie. <_<
October 9, 201114 yr My first impression is that this tragedy just wouldn't make a good movie.Indeed, what's the point? Trying to cash in on a tragedy like this just wouldn't work unless you take as many liberties as possible. And it's soon enough that there are bound to be more than a few people opposed to it (Rightly so). Unless he's trying to cash in on that negative publicity...

October 9, 201114 yr Guys, this isn't real. Well, it is real, but it's not a Hollywood production. It doesn't have "the executive producers of Sherlock Holmes" on board, it's a low-budget trailer made by this person. Hell, the only result for Utoya Island movie is this trailer: no news articles, no IMDb page. This is the 'director', this is his company. EDIT: The same company also made OIL SPILL (2011). The trailer (released in the summer of 2010) isn't even on Youtube anymore. In other words, this is purely a publicity stunt.
October 10, 201114 yr Hi everyone. I thought this discussion needed a Norwegian's point of view. I understand that you guys don't think that this is any different from the movies about 9/11. But it is though. The first movie about 9/11 was made in 2005, 4 years after the attack. This movie is being produced less than 3 months after the attack in Norway. It may seem like a long time ago for you guys, but here in Norway the wound haven't even began to heel. There are mothers, fathers, brothers and sisters who has to see a recaption of how their loved ones were murdered. I have 5 friends who were on the island under the attack, who ran for theit lives and hid under the dead bodies of their friends. They are traumatized for life, and now they have to see trailers and videogames (ill post a link to that last one) all over the internett, as well as an interviw on Youtube of the director who says he doesn't care about how we feel in Norway, 'couse were only a little country, a minority. He is also using wrong facts in the movie, like saying it took the Norwegian police 72 hours to get to the Island, and that the children were crying for help for days. The videos makes me sick, and they make me cry. (No matter how badly produced). What we want in Norway is to forget the killers name, 'couse what he wanted was to be remember in 50 years as a hero, and that noone will ever forget him. Nothing will please him more than if a movie is made of his actions.
