dal The Times di sabato scorso una lunga intervista a Sam Childers,ad un certo punto si parla anche del film e brevemente della scelta di Gerry...quest'uomo continua a non piacermi,non ha mai una parola buona per l'attore che interpreta il suo ruolo,anzi!
Riporto solo la parte che ci interessa...
(e ho sottolineato la notizia riguardo l'uscita,se esce in Inghilterra forse ce la facciamo anche noi per fine anno...)
“I tell you this – and I believe the day is coming soon – if I had the money, I could have Joseph Kony’s head. I could bring him down. And I will have the money, soon.” This certainty springs from the fact that there’s an imminent Hollywood version of his life, called Machine Gun Preacher, starring Gerard Butler from 300 and The Bounty Hunter.
It’s due out later this year.
It’s a casting decision Childers doesn’t entirely approve of. “I don’t care much for Gerard, but regardless what I think, Hollywood loves him,” he says. “I was supposed to be a bartender in one of the fight scenes, but Gerard said he was too ’timidated to be around me, so they didn’t even want me on set.
“I met him several times, and I said to him if you’re ’timidated to be around me, maybe you shouldn’t have took the part,” says Childers, who had a row with the film-makers when he came on set carrying a gun.
Childers feels cheated by his Hollywood experience, saying he’s so far earned nothing from the film adaptation of his life. “These Hollywood people are tricky, I’m telling you, man!” he says. Nevertheless, Childers insists the film will be a hit: “It’s going to do unbelievable well.” He hopes it will make him famous, so he can raise more funds for his manhunt and his orphanage.
