佛教在線海外訊 據《BigNews》報導，2009年5月10日，一部講述佛祖釋迦牟尼一生故事的英文電影《佛陀》舉行了新聞發布會。該片由印度導演阿素託史·哥瓦利克執導，由大衛·沃德撰寫腳本。
在發布會上，當被問及到將會由哪位演員來演繹佛陀這一角色時，哥瓦利克表示他已敲定演員。他說，佛教在全世界有著很大的影響力，很多國家的人們都對其非常感興趣，如果他們沒有皈依的話，他們就會想要了解佛教，想知道佛祖是誰以及關於他的一切。
當談及電影的預算時，哥瓦利克表示因為故事發生在2500年前的古印度，當時還有奴隸存在，和我們現代的社會完全不同，所以想要重現這段歷史的話，需要投入大量的資金。
據悉，影片《佛陀》預計將於2010年5月在喜馬拉雅山區開始拍攝，年底殺青。（編譯：子規）
Mumbai, May 11 : Award winning director, Ashutosh Gowariker, is all set to direct an English film based on the life of Gautam Buddha.
The movie, to be produced by the Spice Infotainment Ltd, is believed to be the most expensive film ever made in Bollywood with a whopping amount of rupees 600 crore.
Addressing a press conference in here on Sunday, Gowariker said that the script of the movie has been written by Academy Award winner David Ward and will be titled 'Buddha'.
When asked about who among the Bollywood actors would portray the character of Buddha in his film, Gowariker said that he is yet to finalise the actor.
"I think the scope of Buddha is global that there are so many countries that are deeply interested, if they had not become Buddhist they are deeply taking interest in learning about Buddhism, learning about what Buddha was all about and keeping that in mind, an international face could do justice to the character as much as an Indian face could," said Gowariker.
Speaking about the movie's budget, he said that to re-create the history would be an expensive proposition.
"This is the story that unfolded 2,500 years ago. A time in ancient Indian when you had slavery, you had cruelty and neither that is completely far removed from what we have today. To re-create that is an expensive proposition," added Gowariker.
Based on the book Old Path White Clouds by a Vietnamese Buddhist monk Thichhat Hanh, the movie will be shot in the Himalayas.
'Buddha', with a diverse cast and crew, is expected to go on the floor in May 2010 and be completed by the end of the year.
