 More than 200 people were killed in the Bali bomb |
The bombing of the nightclub in Bali in 2002 that killed more than 200 people is to be made into a film. A British production company plans to turn the attack into a movie called Bali - The Bombing of Paradise.
The film will begin shooting in Bali, Australia and England in April 2004, a spokesman from New Concept Development Ltd said.
They said the film would revolve around three people who survive the blast and help rescue attempts.
The film would not portray the actual victims of the attack, but would use fictional characters, the spokesman said.
The film will be written by John Goldsmith, who wrote the BBC drama series Victoria and Albert, and also the Angelica Huston film Agnes Browne.
Trials
The car bomb attack, blamed on Islamic fundamentalists linked to Al-Qaeda, killed 202 people. They included 88 Australians, as well as 38 Indonesians and 26 Britons.
Two bombs hit the holiday resort of Kuta on the Indonesian island last October.
One hit the popular tourist haunt Paddy's Bar, while the second exploded in a van outside the nearby Sari nightclub.
Two men have so far been sentenced to death for their roles in the attacks. A man called Amrozi bin Nurhasyim who helped plan and carry out the bombings was convicted last month, and on Wednesday another man, known as Imam Samudra, was found guilty of organising and taking part in the attack.
