Amir Mokri, Mitchell Amundsen & filmmaker Michael Bay to watch Blue 
By Subhash K. Jha, October 3, 2009 - 10:31 IST
A first for Bollywood is about to happen at the posh Warner Brothers Studios in Los Angeles. Internationally-renowned cinematographer Amir Mokri (who's shot Hollywood blockbusters like Vantage Point, Bad Boys 2 and Fast & Furious) will be watching our own desi action flick Blue on October 3.
Joining Mokri will be Mitchell Amundsen, the American cinematographer who recently shot Mission Impossible 3.
Blue director Anthony D'Souza, who worked in LA when he directed the television series Ripley's Believe It Or Not, has been close friends with Mokri and Amundsen for years and a big fan of director Michael Bay who is also likely to join the two cinematographers to watch the special screening of Blue in LA.
A print of Blue is being flown to LA for maverick Hollywood director Michael Bay's viewing pleasure. Anthony has been a fan of the director of the blockbuster Bad Boys and Transformers series and has seen these films repeatedly. In fact Blue is totally inspired by the cinema of Michael Bay. Bay will in all likelihood also watch Blue while the mixing of Blue will take place at the prestigious Warner Brothers studios.
Blue becomes the first Indian film to be mixed at the Warner Brothers studio.
Says Anthony, "I've been a Michael Bay fan right from the time he made the Aaron Burr commercial. He's definitely my favourite director. Blue bears Bay's stamp. I had decided I'd show it to him when it was ready. Amir Mokri and Mitchell Amundsen are confirmed for October 3. We're waiting for Michael's confirmation."
