"Miss Kercher's father John said the images in the U.S. film are 'absolutely horrific'. 'It's so awful what these film people have done. Your imagination runs riot as it is about what happened but to actually see it like this is very different and very distressing,' he said."

Is that a guilty face?

court says ....yeah

I love Hayden. She was freaking awesome in Heroes :love:

um why are they making a movie about her? O_O

what did she even do anyway?

Is serious debates the correct forum to discuss casting

She allegedly murdered someone. :/

So they are like making a film about the trial I think.

Wikipedia Article...

:hugesmile:

now now

you know wot oi mean

I don't think she did it.

Nope to be quite frank you have been here long enough to understand what forums you should post threads various.

I think the thread should be moved to the movies forum and also you should be taken out and flogged sir.

As one of the more respected members of the forum you should be leading by example and this lapse is scandalous.

More junior members will follow your example and start posting other rubbish in serious debates and the forum will descend into anarchy.

Eventually it could snowball and threaten civilisation as we know it.

She could play anyone and I'd still :love: her

do you mean Arista?

Hardly "alleged". She was tried and found guilty.

Oh so she was found guilty? I never payed attention when it came up on the news rofl. :bigsmile:

Wow Gyps, I imagine you had to wade through a massive pile of evidence to have come to that conclusion, considering the verdict of the court!

I actually saw a snippet about this on the news today (well, I was in a shop so they had the volume down but they had subtitles) from what I could catch there may be a retrial so the question is should they have made the film at all when the case hasn't been finished yet which would be a serious debate, not so much about the casting though granted!

No not a retrial, appeals hearings are currently underway, both for prosecution (to increase the sentence) and defence appeals (re examination of forensic evidence and the trial judges rulings on it). They have been for a few months.

Its pre-release publicity for the movie covering the murder and trial.

well, like I said I only caught a bit of it while in the shop. Still though the publicity I have seen regarding it would turn me off the film tbh

It's amazing how having a wealthy family and good connections can get a murderess a biopic featuring a well known actress in the title role, in order to promote the propaganda that she is of course innocent of all charges:bored:

I'm sure the victim's family are overjoyed and it won't upset them one little bit.:bored:

If there is a retrial then no way should the film come out first.

I had never even heard of this story tbh before now

Oh. Well doesn't matter what background you come from. Whatever crime you did.. you do the time and should not get special treatment for whoever you are.

The film shows the murder from different points of views. It shows events as the prosecution describes, also as Amanda's defence see's it. So they show both sides of the story.

I'm looking forward to this movie. I've been following the story for quite a while, and it is a very fascinating case.

I'm sure the Kercher family are over the moon that their daughter's brutal murder will be providing prime time entertainment for the masses, and millions of dollars for the film makers - so nice to know she didn't die in vain eh?:bored:

Yeah I agree Angus.. I think it's disgraceful that this film is being made. The media have glamourised a murderer, which lets face it wouldn't have happened had she been a plain Jane. During the trial, I found it REALLY distasteful having to read about "Foxy Knoxy" .

I certainly will not be watching this film :bored:

Same here. I haven't forgotten how she smirked and preened herself in court - irrespective of whether she was innocent or guilty - it was inappropriate and insensitive. Personally, I believe she and her boyfriend are guilty as hell - there are so many inconsistencies with their alibis and testimony. It will be a travesty if this film influences the decision of the appeal judges. I feel for the Kercher family who clearly don't have the big bucks necessary to get an injunction to prevent this film being screened.

It is very telling that they have chosen a glamourous, immensely popular and famous actress to play Knox, yet a complete unknown to play Kercher. They are also going to film scenes showing the murder of this poor girl. If that were my child, I would be going insane right now. But that's the Americans for you - money and looks talk and to hell with the truth.

Films have always been made about high publicised crimes, it's nothing new.

This case does not only effect the Kercher family. And Amanda's family, the Knox's deserve justice too.

The idea that just because the victim's family will suffer a trauma, that we shouldn't explore all the information is ridiculous.

Meredith will not receive justice by demonizing AMANDA. I'm sure Meredith would want JUSTICE to be done. and for the TRUE guilty person to be punished.

There is a lot more to this case than most people realize.

Just to tell you, it's the PRESS that ran with the "foxy knoxy" thing. The truth about "foxy knoxy" is that it was a nickname given to her when she was 8 years old on her pee-wee soccer team, because she was quick like a fox. It had nothing to do with being good looking. But the press ran with it, and turned it into something sexual.

Yeah.. that's what I mean.The press should not be allowed to glamourise and sexualise a murderer. It's distasteful. I notice the men involved in the case aren't getting quite the same attention.

They've already got the guilty parties - end of discussion. It will be a travesty of justice if Knox gets away with it, especially if this piece of propaganda is aired before the apeals. The Kercher family have lost a daughter FOREVER - I have no sympathy for the killers.

You obviously know very little about the evidence in this case. Every British lawyer that looked at this case has said that Amanda would NOT have been convicted in the UK based on the evidence presented. Same for the US.

If you feel this strongly, you should be campaigning to change your own justice system to be be more in line with Italy's. Italy still has thew same justice system it had during the Inquisition days.

Italy has a very old and primitive justice system.

Yeah, that explains why she was smirking, pouting and preening herself during the trial. If anyone has courted that opinion of her, it's Knox herself.

umm, if she was guilty, wouldn't she be worried and sad, and anxious?? If you'd just been accussed by the police of something you DID do, you'd be scared ****less, you wouldn't SMILE. If she was GUILTY as you seem to think, why would she be smiling? WOuldn't only someone who DIDN"T have a guilty conscious smile? because she knew she had nothing to worry about?

If she was guilty, then how could she be so light hearted about it? Obviously she was light hearted, because she believed in the justice sysrtem, that she had nothing to worry about because she was INNOCENT.

You make no sense.

Europeans hate seeing Americans happy and confident, because Europeans can't accept American superiority. Europeans are bitter about it, they want to punish Americans wherever possible for being superior. This is the basis of this whole case. Punish the American.

Oh dear god. Why do you always come out with that pathetic childish argument, pick on the spams because we are so much better than you.

You are like your country, immature, full of ***t and self importance.

Even your own state department refused to back up Maria Cantwell's claim of anti American bias.
There were three people found guilty of the murder only one was American. Two were Italian so does that make the Italian judge guilty of anti American and anti Italian behaviour?
