THE HAGUE - Dutch filmmaker Paul Verhoeven, celebrated as the director of "Basic Instinct" and "Robocop", began filming a story set in the Netherlands in World War II, the biggest-budget Dutch movie ever.
"Black Book", which tells of the resistance to the German occupation, is being made in Dutch and German. It is Verhoeven's first full-length feature for five years. Its central character is a Jewish cabaret star.
Filming is taking place in The Hague, used by the Germans as the seat of government during the occupation and restored in part to its appearance at that time. However some street signs are in English to cater for the US market.
