Jon Karthaus is working on a fourth part in the successful series Zoopmovies. The director, writer and actor confirmed this to the ANP today after he posted a mysterious message on Instagram. He insinuated that he was writing a new film in the series, Zoop in Australia.
“The fans have been asking for it for a long time,” says Karthaus. ,,And with the regular actors we also regularly fantasize about it. We still get together occasionally and we’re getting more and more excited about the idea of a reunion movie.”
The director has already written a draft for a possible film. Producer NL Film is also on board, says Karthaus. Director Johan Nijenhuis and screenwriter Wijo Koek, who were responsible for the previous trilogy, are not involved in the project.
Last year, Karthaus was in front of the camera for the first time in a long time, for his own film Nice weekend! which hits theaters this week. “We also made that film with a group of friends, and it really tasted like more,” he confirms. “I hereby solemnly promise that if Nice weekend! attracts more than 100,000 visitors, that I then prioritize writing off the script for Soup 4. With a bit of luck we can be on the set next year.”
The maker thinks the Zoopseries and movies, which told of a group of cold-blooded Rangers who help animals around the world, dovetails well with the big problems that concern today’s youth. “Australia is a country par excellence where you can see how great the consequences of climate change are,” he says.
The series Zoop was shown on television between 2004 and 2006 and consisted of more than three hundred episodes. The series concluded with three films: Zoop in Africa (2005), Zoop in India (2006) and Zoop in South America (2007), which attracted hundreds of thousands of visitors to the cinemas. In addition to Karthaus, the leading roles were played by Monique van der Werff, Nicolette van Dam, Juliette van Ardenne, Vivienne van den Assem, Patrick Martens, Ewout Genemans and Erwan van Buuren.
