Behr to join stars at The Tattooist premiere
Auckland, NZ, 24 August 2007

Jason Behr (D-War, The Grudge), star of the movie THE TATTOOIST, will attend the film’s premiere in Auckland on Wednesday August 29 at SkyCity Queen St cinema. Fresh from the highly successful opening of his latest film D-War in Korea , Behr will come from Los Angeles to join the premiere ceremony of The Tattooist.

His co-star Mia Blake (No 2) will also be walking the red carpet and Caroline Cheong (Light Years) is coming from Singapore for the occasion. Samoan stars Robbie Magasiva (Sione’s Wedding, Tagata Pasifika) and David Fane (Bro Town, Sione’s Wedding) will also attend, as will the director, Peter Burger (Outrageous Fortune, Turangawaewae) and producer Robin Scholes (Once Were Warriors). Organisers expect many of the Asian film industry representatives and dignatories who are attending the opening of Waitakere Studios on the same day to also attend the HSBC-sponsored glamour premiere.

The Tattooist opens in cinemas nationwide on Thursday August 30.

THE TATTOOIST, a supernatural thriller, was made by Singaporean and New Zealand co-production partners, from a New Zealand-originated script on locations in New Zealand and Singapore . The story centres on Samoan spiritual beliefs, in which the barrier between our world and the spirit world is very thin, leading events in one to have serious and chilling repercussions in the other.

American tattoo artist Jake Sawyer (Behr) wanders the world, exploring and exploiting ethnic themes in his tattoo designs. At a tattoo expo in Singapore , he gets his first glimpse at the exotic world of traditional Samoan tattoo (tatau), and, in a thoughtless act, unwittingly unleashes a powerful angry spirit. In his devastating journey into Pacific mysticism, Jake must find a way to save his new love, Sina (Blake) and recover his own soul.

THE TATTOOIST is an official New Zealand/Singapore co-production between Eyeworks Touchdown and MediaCorp Raintree Pictures of Singapore, financed by the New Zealand Film Commission, Daydream Productions, MediaCorp Raintree Pictures, supported by the Singapore Film Commission under the Project Development Scheme and executive produced by Julie Christie, Daniel Yun, James Dean and Paul Davis. The producer is Robin Scholes (Once Were Warriors, Crooked Earth), director is Peter Burger and screenwriters are Matthew Grainger & Jonathan King based on an idea by Vela Manusaute. Co-producers are Ng San San and Chan Pui Yin. Australasian distribution is by Buena Vista International, international sales by NZ Film.

Filmed in 2006 on locations in Auckland Central, South Auckland and Singapore and studios in Waitakere City, THE TATTOOIST is director Peter Burger’s first feature, building on his strong career to date in short film (Fishskin Suit, Turangawaewae) , commercials and TV drama (Outrageous Fortune, Mataku, The Strip). His creative team includes legendary director of photography Leon Narbey (Whale Rider, No 2), production designer Gary Mackay (The Locals, Savage Honeymoon), costume designer Gavin McLean (The Maori Merchant of Venice ) , editor Paul Maxwell (Sione’s Wedding, Rain), and composer Peter Scholes (Once Were Warriors, Desperate Remedies). The visual effects are by Peter McCully of Albedo FX (Perfect Creature, Vertical Limit).

Damn! Technically, I'm only 5 hours from Auckland, but it might as well be 50 hours. I've gotta hope like h-e-double toothpicks that The Tattooist gets released here!
