SHIPWRECK author Hugh Edwards, 85, says Oscar winner Russell Crowe’s US film company has renewed for a fourth year the rights to his Batavia thriller, ‘Islands of Angry Ghosts’.
As first reported in StreetWise in 2016, the NZ-born actor and star of ‘Master and Commander’ wants to film the 1629 mass murder in the Abrolhos islands off Geraldton.
About 125 men, women and children were killed by mutineers after the ship wrecked on Morning Reef. Living on the edge, supplies of water and food dwindling fast, Batavia’s ‘defenders’ overpowered the mutineers just as rescuers arrived from Batavia (now Jakarta). The mutineers were tried, tortured and executed. Two were marooned on the mainland.
