Exploiting the Death of a Teenage Girl for Fun and Profit

A Dutch filmmaker is beginning work on a film based on the disappearance (and presumed death) of Natalee Holloway in Aruba in 2005. It’ll be based on the book Vuurkoraal by a Dutch journalist. (Google Translate can’t seem to translate “Vuurkoraal” into English for me … can any of you do it?)

I assume the film will be in Dutch, although it would probably be a lot more profitable if they did it in English and marketed it here. This is the same country where people rushed out in hordes to see United 93, which totally fucking baffled me at the time and still does.

Anyway, casting call!

If the film gets made in English, who should play Natalie?

Does anyone else think she looks a little like Ania from Sunset Tan? See?

  • Ania once said, about the pronunciation of her own name, that is was said like “I want to get ON YA.”

    That really happened. In real life.

  • Natalie’s mom grew up down the street from us in a small town here in Arkansas. Her mom and my mom are in the same Bible class. Its a scarey feeling to be in your own comfortable home and watch something of this magnitude go down to a human that shared your same childhood street and experiences with. I think about our mothers praying together. Not sure how I feel about the movie thing. But Im so sad and angry for no answers.

  • Look, although I did not personally know Natalee, she did go to a school about 20 minutes away from me. A very rich school. It’s terrible she’s gone, but a lot of things went wrong. Like sending your child to aruba with only like 5 parents or so chaperoning was ridiculous. I’m not trying to be mean here, but the concept lacked any common sense. Whatever, I’m off the soapbox…. Hayden could play her.

  • Lots of people are proffiting off of the missing and Natalee Holloway. Look at scaredmonkeys who sell t-shirts and loaded the site up with as many pop ups and banners as they could.

  • I personally feel thats its DISGUSTING what ppl will do for a buck. This familys LIFE has been torn apart..It has affected alot of ppl. How sad and pathetic it is for ppl to make FUN of a horrible senseless death. LIERUBA advertised to be a SAFE ISLAND…our own travel advisary publication said so and still does when tourist girls are still being drugged and raped on the last night of their visit there…ITS STILL HAPPENING for those STUPID enough to go….ITS SICKENING…

  • This girl would be fine I hope all facts and sepulation after shwe went missing show up in this including police, judges and ale who helped the ada too conceal this crime.

  • you know thay cant make a NATALIE HOLLOWAY snuff movie here! thats why its being shot over seas! ha ha ha you know the boys sold her for porn why dont thay come clean? who knows

  • i hate to say it but NATALIE HOLLOWAY is dead its been 3 years now and not one call or pop up or video or nothing! thay need to give the kids A Truth Shot then put them on cnn and have them tell it all
