Yes… it is too soon.

If Mediaite wants us to boycott this movie, which is probably a fair idea, then why are they telling us about it. I never heard about this trailer before I saw it here. Maybe someone else than Executive Producer George Anton is profiting from this massacre?

Probably better than anything Nick Broomfield ever did. Thanks for the heads up, though. Maybe it will make “Sundance”.

The right hates this topic, it reminds them of what their side is capable of doing given the ‘right’ circumstances

Who cares if it’s too soon? I certainly dont!

Fahrenheit 9/11 was done right in the middle of the ongoing war without any regard for the servicemen and women fighting in the war and their families who lost loved ones; and even the casualties on the Iraqi side.

John Doe: The film you mention was made professionally by professional producers and a professional director, who tried to be professional about the topic. Also, that was a documentary, not at fiction c-movie made only to make profit. Twin Towers is another film about a horrible tragedy, but that was made by professionals who payed respect to the victims by making the movie – and they waited 5 years before they did so. This Utoya film is made by amateurs, under 3 months after the tragedy occured. They put up clips of the actors laughing and having fun, alongside a trailer showing so many errors that make me wanna laugh after hearing the so-called director saying he wants to show what really happened, failing to prove he knows himself. That is the problem. There is “victory-music” as the terrorist is going around shooting kids. This project is so wrong in so many ways it´s hard to even begin pointing out the errors. But first of all, it´s really just too soon to be making this movie now.

There is absolutely no sense in doing the wrong thing even if done professionally, and even if done by the best professionals. Fahrenheit 9/11 was regarded as a “political film”, go look it up; you can call it a documentary if you want, it made profits of more than 220 million dollars worldwide, and I will not even go into the anti-American leanings of that movie’s director which is well established. Forget about Twin Towers if they waited 5 years before they did it, I don’t care about that. Concentrate on the Fahrenheit 9/11 that I mentioned; it was done only a few months after the Iraq war started and was still on, with US and of course Iraqi casualties mounting in thousands. FYI the Iraqi was is still on!, and the Norway massacre is over. It’s fine if they put clips of the actors laughing and having fun, Michael Moore was also seen laughing and smiling while making Fahrenheit 9/11. Forget about the errors with Utoya, Moore’s film had huge errors as well, and of course no one expects either of the films to be flawless.
 
If Fahrenheit 9/11 was fine, then Utoya Island should be left alone too. You cannot make any sense trying to convince me one was appropriate because it was done by professionals; they will both make profits over a tragedy, so perhaps you can make more sense to me by saying both films were wrong, or simply leave them alone, professionals and amateurs alike.

Dear readers of this post (This info is taken from the Facebookevent: Fra ord til handling! Nei til Utøyafilm! (Translated: From words to action! No to Utøya Movie!)

In concern regarding the planned production of the movie: Utøya Island Film Trailer, directed by producer Vitaliy Versace.

Case: Producer Vitaliy Versace wants to make films with the theme Utøya
and is currently promoting his production via youtube

Action: Read the info in the event.

Goals: Cancellation of this filmproject based on the producers own
initiative, or alternatively make so much fuss to cause lost
sponsorship revenue and thus have to cancel.

Today, I sadly got the knowledge that this producer is making a film about the tragic massacre of 22.July at Utøya. The families of the children and youth who were killed in coldblood are still mourning, and the open wounds the killer left behind will take a long time to heal, if they ever will.

As a fellow human being and inhabitant of planet Earth, I beg you to do whatever is in your power to stop this film from being produced at the current time, in respect to the ones who died and those left behind. Alot of Norwegian citizens has been full of disgust and many outraged by the fact that this is going to become a movie, driven forward by the intention of making profit on other peoples grief and sorrow, not by the motives of compassion, enlightment or by art.

There will probably be a film one day, but this producer is not the one who should make it, and atleast not now at the current time nor by his motives.

There are higher powers controlling the media, with very specific agendas.  UTOYA MOVIE POSTER: http://www.antonpictures.com/UtoyaPosterMini.jpg

For real?! You don’t see the problem? Wow.

You “someone has done this before, so why not again’ argument is poor.

We all know this movie is going to come one day. But normal persons thinks first how wrong and sad 22/7 was, not ‘how can i make mony’….

When the real movie about Utøya see daylight, it will be a movie that tells the story. Not a some guy tought he would spice up.

I think it’s sad and WRONG that ppl are going to see this movie, and perhaps believe that this is what happened.

OMG.. thats one of the worst posters I have seen. So crappy qlt and looks lika a 10years old made it in paint. 

How should one have any confidence in this film, when it is is full of errors already in the trailer?

Anders Behring Breivik did not row in a boat out to the island – he took the ferry…
The first person was not shot already on the shoreline when he (Anders B. B.) went ashore and so on …

It is also too early to produce such a film, since the actual sequence of events is not completely clear yet.

You are an idiot. I too are apposed to this so called movie, but the only thing you are doing is giving the amateur director and his “movie” publicity. You are making him a big favor.

Thanks to you and many other well meaning fools, this movie will get all the PR the producer wants. Without you guys nobody would even have heard of this sham of a project.

Disgusting… If he had made a movie that respected the victims and their families, I would still have a problem with him making it so soon after the massacre. But this lame excuse of a movie is made purely for his own profit with no regards for the people affected by this tragedy.

This director should be ashamed of himself. And the cast really should take a long, hard look in the mirror and ponder the fact that they were laughing and kidding around while making a movie about the actual murders of innocent people.

It’s just disgusting..
I really hope the movie will never happend!

To those who says they do’t care and says it just like 9/11..you are so wrong.
Yes, many died that that but that movie shouldn’t have been made.

But look at MY point of view:

My bestfriend and MANY that my friends knew died there, it’s been 4 months and we all hate the idea of the movie.
It’s sick and the makers do it how they think it happend, they do not respect norway, we don’t want the movie made.

If YOUR family and friends got killed there, would you be happy that under a month later some who is not from norway made a movie about it? the answer is NO.

Think about those who survived it, saw their friends get killed..
don’t you want to show them respect?!
to make this movie, is not how to show respect, it’s sadly only to make money and to make a few people happy.

I am, like you probably understand, norwegian.
I hope some of you can try and understand how i and my friends feel
how NORWAY feels about this.

If the maker of the movie and the ones that supports him really have something calleda heart..
They will stop it, stop making the movie.
I bet he will probably never read this, but if he does then he need to sit down and think about it.
Is this what he want? to be hated? no one want that..
If he don’t make the movie, I will forgive him for trying to make it, even if my forgivness will never mean anything to him.

if he does make it, he gives the killer what he wanted.
Fame.

It’s just not worth it.
