In Thailand, the Supreme Court has ordered the government to restore the natural environment of a southern resort island used to shoot the hit film “The Beach “.
Local authorities filed a lawsuit in 1999 against the government, 20th Century Fox, and a Thai film coordinator.
They said nature on the island had been destroyed.
20th Century Fox has said it kept the beach in its original condition and removed a large amount of garbage.
But the Supreme Court disagreed last month.
It ordered the government to repair the damage .
20th Century Fox must also pay about 273 thousand dollars ( 40 million yen)
in restoration costs.
Reading these articles,
This news is good , but I wonder if 40 million yen would be enough.
And I want to hear Leonardo DiCaprio ‘s comment.
While the movie was on location in 1999 .
DiCaprio said
Fox are taking meticulous care, I have seen nothing that had been damaged in any way.
I consider myself an environmentalist.
I am disappointed in him.
