Jessica Watson biopic to set sail next year
Jessica Watson
A new feature film about Australian Jessica Watson, the youngest person to sail around the world, is due in cinemas late 2013.
The film to be called True Spirit will be directed by American film-maker Sean McNamara.
It will be produced by McNamara and David Brookwell’s Brookewell McNamara Entertainment with Australian production company Sunstar Entertainment’s Andrew Fraser, Daniel Starling and Brian Andrews.
I could think of nothing worse than watching a film about someone sailing around the world alone. How does what she’s “achieved” better us?
As I understand it Jessica didn’t circumnavigate the globe using the established route – effectively she took a short cut and didn’t truly circumnavigate the globe.
James, with comments like that one, everybody is better than you, mate.
Daniel , that was kinda funny. I came here looking for someone to abuse slightly. Now I am ok. Cheers.
