Julian's hair is what is known as 'strawberry blond' or 'fraise blond'......it's gorgeous whatever you call it!

[malley]

well than Julian has one big luck they don't call him Lighthouse or traffic light that's what most people say to me...

I'm a driver of a touringcar and once one of my colleague was standing with his bus in front of me. I asked Why don't you drive away and he said.. I'm waiting for the green light..........................

well i did something with his windscreen wiper (found this in the dictionary)
so he has to get out of his bus to put it back...... and after 10 minutes he finaly drives?? away because he didn't get the wipers back
My bos calls me Red Devil and i realy don't know why

Puerto Rico has provided the setting for the shooting of hundreds of foreign films that, when viewed, could have been filmed anywhere in the world. Few films with an international cast that reflects the architecture, culture and the Puerto Rican people. Co-production between Belgium and Puerto Rico, Meant to Be, tries to make a difference because it takes place in the island where it was filmed 100 percent.

This film, directed by Paul Breuls Belgian, arrived in Puerto Rico through the efforts of the Puerto Rican producer Marcos Zurinaga (The Big) in the last edition of the Cannes Festival, France.

"I met Paul Breuls and discuss the possibility of working together. The film takes place in New York. When I saw the script, I suggested that St. John outside the main city. When he came to see the island, was surprised by all the best, "said the director in a separate Puerto Rican Convention Center San Juan, where he recreated scenes simulating the exits of the airport.

"The experience of Puerto Rico was like discovering the best kept secret ... Gradually we have been discovering the invaluable wealth of this country: history, culture, beauty, talent and people, "said Paul Breuls, who has six weeks of shooting.

The cast of this romantic comedy as part of the British Kelly Reilly, Julian Rhind-Tutt and Kris Marshall, Chilean and Argentine Santiago Mía Maestro. Among the Puerto Rican players out Denise Quinones, Marisa Alvarez and Ramon Saldana, plus extras Puerto Ricans.

Marcos Zurinaga revealed that the tape shows "Will" (Julian Rhind-Tutt), a guardian angel who decides to become human, as his "boss" tells you not going to take care of "Amanda" (Kelly Reilly). The young architect, of Boston, travel to Puerto Rico to be part of the restoration of the church of San José in Old San Juan. As part of their work, learn andalusia Puerto Rican, "Benjamin" (Santiago Cabrera), who will compete with the angel "Will", which, in turn, is adapting to a human being. The angel has only seven days to conquer "Amanda." Although the plot might make the tape to remind City of Angels (1998), Marcos Zurinaga discard any similarity.

"City of Angels is a drama. This is a delightful romantic comedy. Is to feel good, laugh and enjoy. In addition, know much about San Juan, "the producer on the project which will debut later this year and benefits from the Act 362, which provides an incentive for investors to 40% of the budget paid to residents of Puerto Rico local authorities.

Zurinaga noted further that this film allows the strengthening of national cinema and reaffirmed the importance of co-productions to avoid stagnation of the industry. "The most interesting is that we are working with a producer from Belgium and have helped to make a film, not only providing services but with a cultural, social and historical," he said.

"In Puerto Rico, we have depth (Film Fund) managed by the Film Corporation, but it works well for small projects. But really, we need more investment money. This is not just mojarnos feet, we need huge investments to become a film industry, "concluded the farmer

Thanks for the translation Kim, was just about to do it myself.
The film looks great fun! Who else wouldn't mind Julian falling on them from a great height?! [& giggling about it afterwards too ] He looks adorable.

[ducatilady]

Thanks for posting that Kim, very interesting. Sounds an odd combination, Belgium and Puerto Rico, I wonder if the Belgian version will be dubbed into French or subtitled? It would certainly make for an interesting trip, very easy with eurostar for the south east contingent, I might even be fit enough myself by then!

[malley]

For the French speaking Belgiums They turn it in to the France language and for the Dutch speaking Belgiums they put Dutch subtitels under it

[faeriequeen]

I am so looking forward to seeing this!

[goshandcrikey]

That is indeed a very gorgeous picture that I possibly shouldn't have looked at while I'm at work!

Mind you I am currently facing a very large picture of Daniel Craig (defiance poster) so they obviously don't expect me to concentrate on work anyway!

[malley]

Possibly the most gorgeous picture ever!!!

Hmmmm i have seen better pictures

[chatterbox]

A matter of personal preference but I think most people here will think any picture of Julian is pretty high up there in the best picture ever stakes!! How could it not be, given the subject matter....

[tutt-sweet]

Totally agree Kim.

I don't think a bad/unflattering pic of Julian exists! The man is just made for the camera! [& us]
