Kirsten Dunst and Jesse Plemons were in New Zealand filming the Jane Campion movie Dog power, and had already been granted a special exemption to enter the country due to Covid-19 border restrictions.
However, the American couple was not content with having to isolate themselves in a hotel. They wanted to isolate themselves on a rural property, separate from the five-star Auckland hotel where the film crew was staying.
The details of the couple’s request for special isolation have been disclosed by the Ministry of Business, Innovation and Employment, supplied under the Official Information Law according to Stuff. According to the documents, the applications were submitted on May 21.
The film’s co-producer Chloe Smith’s request noted that Dunst and Plemons wanted privacy and were concerned about the public interest in their visit. Smith also argued that they couldn’t complete the film if they had to isolate themselves in a hotel. The producer argued that “we will not be able to give you a guarantee of privacy.”
“In order for Ms. Dunst and Mr. Plemons to embark on their journey to New Zealand, they must be guaranteed the highest standards of privacy,” the app said.
“There is great public interest in Ms. Dunst and Mr. Plemons and their activities.
“Paparazzi photographers follow her regularly and articles have been published about her activities in New Zealand.”
Cited an article published in the Herald of New Zealand, originally from the Otago Daily Times about the time of Dunst and Plemon in Oamaru.
The request was denied by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and Trade, and the letter cites the need for managed isolation to be carried out in a suitable facility, such as the S / o hotel in Auckland’s financial district where the crew was staying. . Stuff reports.
In an interview with Variety earlier this month, Dunst said it was a challenge for her and Plemons to “have a 2-year-old in a hotel room for two weeks.”
Since then, the actors have returned to Los Angeles.
