So there I was, in my lovely Argyro Gavalas dress, sitting in front of Russell Crowe and the film’s producer Chris Brown, with my stomach in knots, waiting for Return to Nim’s Island to begin. How would I face Bindi Irwin and Toby Wallace afterwards if I didn’t find them believable? If I thought the film missed the tone the word I created, or was simply lackluster?
I stopped worrying as soon as the first images appeared: Nim and Selkie, as I’ve imagined them since I wrote them in 1999. I was swept up in the story as if I’d never read the script at all. The acting was great; the locations and settings was amazing, the cinematography was breathtaking; I loved the music; the audience laughed and gasped in the right places… it all hung together. In fact, it not only worked, it’s a very good film. If you don’t believe me, go and see it for yourself.
