An Update on the movie-ments of one Rutger Hauer!!!

Hello all you Rutger fans... it is I, Harry, the lover of Patat Met, coming to you with the latest on the coolest man to ever kick ass in a Paul Verhoeven film... That's right... Rutger Hauer. It taint much, but hey... it's something for those of us that follow his every move... here ya go..

Hi Harry,

The Sober Dutchman here again with a titbit on Rutger Hauer. This Dutch blond God has signed a deal to direct a short story of the acclaimed Dutch writer Mulisch. It will be his first directorial effort. The English spoken short will premiere at the filmfestival in Utrecht in september. No cast known.

Holland by the way is really revving up to becoma a big player in film. Great tax constructions have a lot to do with it. Of the some writer Mulisch a book will be filmed which is partly produced by Mick Jagger (at present also co-porducing Enigma with KAte Winslet and directed by Michael Apted) also under this new tax regime. Watch out for the Dutch!

Here the artikel in the Telegraaf about Hauer. Have fun translating!

The Sober Dutchman

AMSTERDAM - Rutger Hauer zal in ons land zijn regiedebuut gaan maken met de korte film 'The Room', naar de debuutroman 'De Kamer' van Harry Mulisch.

De Nederlandse acteur, die de laatste decennia in de VS werkte, zal ook de hoofdrol spelen in de Engelstalige film, die eind september op het Nederlands Filmfestival in première zal gaan. Hauer regisseert 'The Room' samen met Erik Lieshout, die ook het scenario schreef. De opnamen beginnen in de eerste week van juni.

Dinsdag worden in bijzijn van Harry Mulisch de contracten ondertekend. Het verhaal gaat over een geheimzinnige kamer, waarvan de hoofdpersoon als kind vergeefs de bewoners trachtte te ontdekken. Als volwassene probeert hij alsnog het mysterie op te lossen.
