The short life of brown bear Bruno will be turned into a movie, an Austrian company said earlier this month. Bruno became a star after roaming through Austria and Germany for several weeks in 2006.
Cine Tirol signed up well-known writers, directors and actors for the movie. The company plans to start shooting the movie in summer 2008 in western Austria. They plan to call the movie The Bear is Loose.
JJ 1 was a young brown bear who was later named Bruno by the media. It roamed from northern Italy to Bavaria in southern Germany during May and June 2006.

奧地利一家公司本月稍早表示,棕熊布魯諾短暫的一生將被搬上大銀幕。二OO六年布魯諾在德國、奧地利一帶遊蕩數週後,受到各界關注。
提洛電影公司為這部電影簽下知名作家、導演和演員。這間公司打算於二OO八年夏天在奧地利西部開拍電影,並以「自由自在的熊」做為片名。
這隻小棕熊原被稱為JJ 1,後來被媒體取名為布魯諾,牠在二OO六年五、六月間,從義大利北部遊蕩至德國南部的巴伐利亞邦。
圍捕這隻閒晃棕熊的所有行動均告失敗,牠因殺害了若干綿羊而受到指責。
儘管動物保護人士提出抗議,巴伐利亞當局仍下令射殺布魯諾。布魯諾於二OO六年六月底遭到射殺。

Having been residents of Australia for years, Scottish Laura Currie and her Italian partner, Dante Vendittelli, recently experienced the impact of these immigration policies. Their son Luca, born in Australia and diagnosed with cystic fibrosis, became the reason their residency application was denied due to the anticipated high healthcare costs. Had Luca been healthy, there would have been no objections to their permanent residency. This case not only highlights discrimination against disabled individuals, but also raises questions about fairness and inclusion within Australia’s immigration
A ‘Dutch angle’ is a classic camera technique that has been used in filmmaking since the 1920s, when it was introduced to Hollywood by German Expressionists.
