Just what is this whitewash?
The Jerusalem Post has a clip about a movie in the works that seems to be a whitewash of a member of the family of a nazi collaborator, Haj-Amin el-Husseini, and doubtlessly of the main monster himself:
Freida Pinto, the Indian actress who starred in the Oscar-winning movie, "Slumdog Millionaire," arrived in Israel last week ahead of shooting for a new film by critically acclaimed writer-director Julian Schnabel.I may have once seen a movie directed by Schnabel years ago. If he's pulling a whitewash of one of the most horrific creatures to walk the face of the earth, I will never waste my time on his crap ever again.
Schnabel, whose recent film, "The Diving Bell and the Butterfly" won awards and praise, will begin shooting his next project, "Miral," a joint French-Israeli production in April.
The movie is set in Jerusalem, and it chronicles Hind Husseini's effort to establish an orphanage in the city following the creation of the state in 1948. It is scheduled to be released in 2010.
Although the filming does not start for another month, Pinto arrived early in order to get into character, the production team said.
