1 00:00:00,200 --> 00:00:02,720 Speaker 1: Just Cinda A Durn now just Cinda Adurn seems to 2 00:00:02,800 --> 00:00:05,320 Speaker 1: like the Hollywood movie being made about her, because this 3 00:00:05,440 --> 00:00:07,720 Speaker 1: time it's not funded by public public money like the 4 00:00:07,720 --> 00:00:09,720 Speaker 1: one that's being made here in New Zealand. The movie 5 00:00:09,760 --> 00:00:11,800 Speaker 1: is going to follow her political recreer from the moment 6 00:00:11,800 --> 00:00:13,920 Speaker 1: that she gets the Labor Party nomination all the way 7 00:00:13,920 --> 00:00:16,880 Speaker 1: through to her quitting last year. It'll be produced by 8 00:00:16,880 --> 00:00:19,840 Speaker 1: Madison Wells Studio. Shaw Mandel is an entertainment reporter for 9 00:00:19,960 --> 00:00:22,920 Speaker 1: Los Angeles and with us. Now, Hey, Sean, hi there, 10 00:00:22,920 --> 00:00:24,599 Speaker 1: how are you? I'm very well, thank you. What do 11 00:00:24,640 --> 00:00:26,799 Speaker 1: we know about Madison Wells Studio? Are they any good? 12 00:00:28,040 --> 00:00:32,600 Speaker 2: They're very good. They've produced quite a few notable films, 13 00:00:32,640 --> 00:00:35,760 Speaker 2: not just films that have garnered interest from the public, 14 00:00:35,800 --> 00:00:39,200 Speaker 2: but interest, for example, from the Academy of Motion Picture 15 00:00:39,360 --> 00:00:42,519 Speaker 2: Art and Sciences. They produced the film The Eyes of 16 00:00:42,560 --> 00:00:48,159 Speaker 2: Tammy Fay, which won Jisica Testain her Oscar for Best Actress. 17 00:00:48,200 --> 00:00:53,440 Speaker 2: Also Hell or High Water, the Tyler Sheridan scripted movie 18 00:00:53,520 --> 00:00:57,000 Speaker 2: which really launched the Tyler Sheridan cinematic universe that gave 19 00:00:57,080 --> 00:01:01,400 Speaker 2: us Yellowstone nineteen twenty two and the lot of all 20 00:01:01,520 --> 00:01:05,319 Speaker 2: his work and also drive the Ryan Gosling process that 21 00:01:05,400 --> 00:01:09,000 Speaker 2: was very popular. Yeah, so headed by billionaire Gigi Pritzker. 22 00:01:09,120 --> 00:01:13,120 Speaker 2: So definitely a production company that means business. 23 00:01:13,480 --> 00:01:17,800 Speaker 1: Do we know anything about who's being cast, who is directing, screenwriting, 24 00:01:17,840 --> 00:01:18,360 Speaker 1: anything like that. 25 00:01:19,480 --> 00:01:21,560 Speaker 2: So for this it seems that this is going to 26 00:01:21,560 --> 00:01:24,800 Speaker 2: be a documentary feature. Now, there has been talk in 27 00:01:24,840 --> 00:01:30,200 Speaker 2: the past about a scripted feature, a scripted biopic portrayal 28 00:01:30,360 --> 00:01:34,960 Speaker 2: of Dame Desinda taking place, with Rose Byrne, for example, 29 00:01:35,040 --> 00:01:38,240 Speaker 2: being an actor that whose name was tossed about and 30 00:01:39,000 --> 00:01:41,760 Speaker 2: believed to have been cast in the role in a 31 00:01:41,840 --> 00:01:46,720 Speaker 2: previous production, but that production fell apart. There was controversy 32 00:01:46,760 --> 00:01:51,000 Speaker 2: regarding the script her casting as well. So now it 33 00:01:51,080 --> 00:01:54,720 Speaker 2: seems to be the focus away from doing something scripted 34 00:01:54,800 --> 00:01:58,080 Speaker 2: and now in the space of a documentary purposely, I 35 00:01:58,120 --> 00:02:03,080 Speaker 2: would argue in an attempt to be able to produce 36 00:02:03,160 --> 00:02:09,639 Speaker 2: something about Dame Disinda without involving the controversy that the 37 00:02:09,639 --> 00:02:12,600 Speaker 2: scripted version seems to have done. So this will be 38 00:02:12,639 --> 00:02:17,520 Speaker 2: a documentary and it will also have Dame Disinda's participation, 39 00:02:18,240 --> 00:02:21,200 Speaker 2: and she has said that one of the reasons why 40 00:02:21,280 --> 00:02:25,000 Speaker 2: she is participating as well is because there aren't any 41 00:02:25,040 --> 00:02:28,800 Speaker 2: dollars from New Zealand's Film Commission going towards the project. 42 00:02:29,040 --> 00:02:31,800 Speaker 1: Good stuff, Hey Sean, thank you has always appreciate it.
