Spooked
Film (Trailer, Excerpts, and Extras) – 2004
Loosely based on the case of a real life computer dealer who acquired international bank records and later died mysteriously on Auckland Harbour Bridge, Spooked marked Geoff Murphy’s first local movie in 15 years, after time directing in Hollywood. Everyman Kevin (Christopher Hobbs) gets caught up in a barrage of intimidation after buying some used computer equipment and unwittingly receiving corporate secrets. Cliff Curtis plays the journalist investigating his case. The 20 minute making-of documentary features interviews with Murphy and the cast.
[The Paradise Conspiracy is a] compelling book, one that started out as a TV programme but which got too hot for the original medium ... a Watergate-type tale that takes the reader through possibly unlawful and certainly immoral offshore deals and what might even have been the contract killing of a crucial participant.– The Listener on the book that inspired the film, Ian Wishart’s The Paradise Conspiracy (1995)
