RE: [bali-bali] Julia Roberts Di Pulau Dewata

Dear Diana,

 

So, business as usual, what can we get out of this as a ‘lesson learned’.  When they say that this attract more tourists come to Bali??? It doesn’t make sense.   tourists do not come to Bali only because of Julia Roberts? But making film in Bali would be something beneficial for tourism in Bali at large, with a better regulation enforcement at place to protect the ‘marginals’?

 

Discussion and Argument within reason would be nice...... but Indonesian are very very much eager with ‘DEBAT KUSIR’

 

MERDEKA

This morning Ubud housewives trying to do some early shopping for Kuningan went home with empty baskets: the market was closed for shooting. Lots of grumbling. With all the disruption and big dumps of cash involved, it's easy to imagine how filming in Bali will be the Next Big Argument.

Julia Roberts Di Pulau Dewata

Jumat, 16 Oktober 2009 | 03:30 WIB

Bintang Hollywood Julia Roberts (42) memulai pengambilan gambar film Eat, Pray, Love di Banjar Bentuyung, Ubud, Gianyar, Bali, Kamis (15/10).

Claire Raskind dari Columbia Pictures menyatakan, Bali menjadi tempat terakhir proses pengambilan gambar film itu. Shooting telah dimulai di New York, Amerika Serikat, awal Agustus, lalu berlanjut ke Roma, Italia, serta Mirzapur, India, sebelum ke Bali.

Pengambilan gambar berlangsung hingga pertengahan November. ”Julia Roberts hanya akan libur pada hari Sabtu-Minggu saja” kata Claire.

Selain di Banjar Bentuyung, shooting juga dilakukan di Monkey Forest, Banjar Nyuh Kuning dan Pengosekan, serta Pasar Seni Ubud. Selain Ubud, sejumlah kawasan pantai di Jimbaran dan Uluwatu, Kabupaten Badung, juga menjadi lokasi pengambilan gambar.

Shooting perdana itu sempat mendapat protes warga banjar setempat perihal jadwal serta perbedaan harga sewa lokasi dengan banjar lain di Gianyar. Bupati Gianyar yang juga tokoh Puri Ubud, Tjokorda Oka Artha Ardana Sukawati atau Cok Ace, menengahi. Warga akhirnya maklum. Pembuat film beralasan, pengalihan jadwal dilakukan mengingat banjar belum siap digunakan karena dalam suasana hari raya Galungan. ”Sebuah kehormatan juga bagi Ubud menjadi tempat shooting Julia Roberts,” kata Cok Ace.
