Dutch newspaper AD: Doutzen makes a crushing impression on set Wonder Woman
Doutzen Kroes is praised for her modest share in the superhero movie Wonder Woman. American director Patty Jenkins and starring star Gal Gadot are lyrical about her contribution. It's only her second film role.
Although the performance of Doutzen, previously seen in the Dutch film hit Nova Zembla, is limited to four scenes and one line of text, her interpretation as the amazone Venelia in Wonder Woman impressed the creators.
Patty Jenkins said in New York during an interview with the AD about Kroes in Wonder Woman: "Doutzen made a crushing impression on me on the set. I wanted various women types as amazones in the movie. She is perfect as amazone, drives excellent horse and has a very athletic body. That she is a mother of two children I found amazing to hear. She is a real professional. Her commitment made me amazed. ''
Initially, it was not meant that Kroes going to*speak a sentence in the film. However, given her commitment - she spent months riding a horse - Jenkins decided to give her a line of text.
Gal Gadot, the Israeli actress who plays the title role in Wonder Woman, was also amazed by Kroes. "What a wonderful person. My husband is Dutch and has talked to Doutzen for a long time. She also made a very intelligent impression on me. She even had a better idea than the sentence she expressed in the film. "
Doutzen plays in Wonder Woman one of the amazones on an island that is populated only by women warriors. One day a wounded pilot (played by Chris Pine) wakes up, the women take care of him. Kroes proposes to kill him. But actually she wanted to say, " Why don't we keep him here? " I found that much better. Unfortunately, that text did not made it into the movie, "said Gadot.
Wonder Woman will be in premiere on 15 June (The Netherlands). The movie received unanimously cheering reviews in America this week.
