Summary
This article was about making a movie of the Panama Paper. Steven Soderbergh is producing and may direct a film. The film will be an adaptation of “Secrecy World” which journalist Jake Bernstein’s upcoming book, but he won’t be writing the screenplay. Instead, Soderbergh collaborator Scott Z. Burns will tackle the difficult work of tax-avoidance schemes into the stuff of cinema. No casting details are available but the producers can strike Jackie Chain, Emilio Estevez, and Emma Watson. They are in the data leak. There is one big question of this film. It is where the producers will hide their profits if the film becomes a big hit.
Opinion
I think we, especially Japanese workers, should know about tax haven, so I hope this movie will be published as soon as possible. Tax haven is the serious problems in the world. In Japan, some famous companies, for example Marubeni and Softbank, are on the list. If they watch the movie, people who don’t know about tax haven will notice the importance of improving the tax system, and will perhaps be angry with evasion of taxes. I wish the movie will become an instigator of an argument about imposing legal controls on tax haven in the Diet.
