John was in Australia for the preparation of "echoes of the paradise".
"Echoes" had been shooted only few months before "the last emperor".
Firstly, John's character should had been a Prince in Bali. But because of political tension between Australia and Indonesia the shooting had been forbidden by the indonesian authorities , the script had to be re-written.
The Prince became a Balinese dancer, it was filmed in Pucket instead of Bali.
The Film was shooted in a hurry because the director knew that John 's next project was The Emperor and he was afraid not to be able to afford John's salary if his film was shooted after the emperor. The director wanted no other actors than John for the role.
I hope the image will be good enough to read, I had no other chose to save it
