New Carice van Houten movie major hit in The Netherlands

The new movie starring Carice van Houten, Alles is Liefde (Everything is Love) is a major hit in The Netherlands. In it's first weekend, the movie attracted more than 100.000 visitors, which is a very high attendance figure for an opening weekend, especially for a Dutch movie not based on any known property. Mostly the 100.000 plus openings are reserved for big Hollywood blockbusters, but this Dutch romantic movie, loosely inspired by Love Actually, could become the biggest non-US hit of the year. In it, Carice plays a shy woman working at a department store, who meets a prince ready to sweep her off her feet. It's one of the many intertwined storylines in this movie, which has been getting only good reviews in the Dutch press (again, something that doesn't happen that often). Especially Carice's performance was lauded, which makes it a shame that we will probably not see her in Dutch movies for some time. On the other hand, she will be starring in so many big Hollywood movies in the future that we don't have to worry about not seeing her in the cinema here anymore in the near future! No word yet on whether people outside the Netherlands and Belgium will be able to see Alles is Liefde anytime soon, since the movie is filled with jokes and situations only Dutch and Belgian audiences would probably understand, but with Carice's stature rising so quickly, you never know.

I have made a petition for Carice van Houten

Carice van Houten was suppose to be in the film “Body of Lies” playing Leonardo DiCaprio’s wife “Gretchen” but people who went to see the pre-screening of the movie said that she was no where in the movie. Only mentioned by the main character once. The next thing that had happened was whenever the MPAA ratings came out for Body of Lies and I figured that since her character was suppose to be a sex-obsessed wife that the MPAA ratings would say something like “Sexual content/Nudity” or something like that, but it didn’t and Carice had mentioned in a interview that she did have to French kiss Mr.DiCaprio and do a graphic love scene with him. Finally, whenever the movie trailer came out and the credits were shown at the end, her name was nowhere to be seen. Because of all of this. It has made several of her fans very upset that they will not get to see her in this movie. So for her fans I have made a petition for them to sign saying that we want her back in the movie. Its not too late for them to add her scenes back in, So please sign this petition for her. Thanks
