If Anthony Hopkins is starring in a film, it has to be at least half-interesting. That’s my basic thinking about Kidnapping Freddy Heineken, a forthcoming European-made film about the kidnapping of Dutch businessman Alfred “Freddy” Heineken, the grandson of the founder of the Heineken brewery. His abductors were paid a mind-blowing ransom equivalent to $50 million U.S. dollars. William Brookfield‘s screenplay is based on a book about the kdnapping by Peter R. de Vries. Pic costars Sam Worthington, Jim Sturgess and True Blood‘s Ryan Kwanten. Pic will open in Europe on 3.12.15, so is it playing now at the AFM?
