I agree that it's great that at least the history will be represented, hopefully, as accurately as any have been through the screen.
It would be truly an IDEAL in many of the people's/nation's respects. As well, an asset financially, morally and do so much justice to Haiti if it could be shot there. However, how many times have we watched incredible, eye-opening, inspiring & or heartrendering
re-enactments of greatness that have been shot off location.
For certain, I think the main thing is that it's been approved, funded, and is underway with recognizable talent. Furthermore, and more essential is that it makes the nation proud regardless of soil. That the story is told WELL! The profits will follow...what do you think?
There is still room for changes and cinematography anyhow. This is the gossip stage. No set is in action yet!
