Ahead of Universal Pictures’ North American release of Ticket To Paradise (which is doing exceptionally well overseas,), we had a chance to speak to Hollywood newcomer Maxime Bouttier, on the upcoming rom-com!
Hailing from Indonesia Maxime Bouttier opens up about how it was bringing his culture and the beauty of Bali to life in the movie.
“With the film, I am kind of taking Indonesia out to the world in a rom-com element. Usually, we have seen it in more of a documentary way. Now, it is more of a bigger-than-life thing, with a mix of Bali.”
Ticket To Paradise follows the story of Two divorced parents, David and Georgia Cotton, who travel to Bali after learning that their daughter, Lily, is planning to marry a man named Gede, whom she has just met. They decide to work together to sabotage the wedding to prevent Lily from making the same mistake they made twenty-five years ago.
Bouttier also gives us the tea on what it was like working with seasoned and legendary actors Julia Roberts and George Clooney, and what makes Ticket To Paradise different from other rom-coms!
