Canadian Leader Damns Film Based on Teen Murders

Ontario Premier Dalton McGuinty has called for a boycott of Deadly, a film about the sex slayings of two teenagers in Scarborough, a suburb of Toronto, in 1993. The film is scheduled to be released in July. In an interview Wednesday with CanWest News Service, McGuinty charged that the movie, about killers Paul Bernardo and Karla Homolka, was an effort "to capitalize on a terrible and horrific tragedy" involving the murders of 14-year-old Leslie Mahaffey and 15-year-old Kirsten French. "I don't think that legally we can prevent that movie from being shown in Ontario," Mr. McGuinty said. "I certainly will not be viewing that movie and I guess my advice, and my encouragement to Ontarians, is that they would do the same." Jim Watson, the province's consumer minister, asked Canadian distributors to "shun this film and not try to make a quick buck out of a very disturbing part of our history. We have to think of the families of these two young women who were killed." Film producer Michael Sellers reportedly has agreed to allow lawyers for the families of the victims to view the film. In a statement on the film's website, Sellers said that he had vowed "to do nothing to dishonor the memory of the victims."

Does this means she is trying to expand her work? Trying not to be typecast.

Sounds like a good watch.
