Pak may allow filming of Jolie’s Daniel Pearl flick

Angelina Jolie’s latest flick, based on the killing of Daniel Pearl, may be granted permission for filming by Pakistani authorities, if a request is made through proper channels.

Police last month detained crew members who were shooting for the movie A Mighty Heart near the hotel in Karachi from where the Wall Street Journal reporter was abducted in 2002.

Actress Angelina Jolie will star in the movie based on Mariane Pearl’s book on the ordeal of her husband.

Officials said the Karachi shoot had been stopped because filming permission had not been granted.

“They didn’t apply for permission. They just came in without any permission and started shooting. This is not the way,” Sindh Home Secretary Gholam Mohtaram said..

“They made ordinary people wear police uniforms and started shooting, which was objectionable, ” he added.

Sources said the unit wanted to film where Pearl was kidnapped, where the abductors kept him, where he was beheaded and where his remains were found.

Mohtaram said the government would consider permission for shooting if request was made through proper channels, reports the Dawn.
