I am very sorry to report everyone....while it won't be a true free willy film, a spin off is in the works.
Bindi Irwin...urgh, daughter of Steve Irwin, is set to star this year in a spin off version.
The information I have so far, is she will be playing Kirra, a girl whos world is torn apart by the sudden death of her 'animal loving' vetinarian father.
The director of the new film, Will Geiger says 'The stoy centers on Kirra's sadnness until a baby orca befreinds her, and they begin a new life'
Filming for the hush-hush mega budget film began of Feb 22
The centeral plot of the Warner-financed movie centers on a young girl, who after loosing her dad, is forced to live with her estranged grandfather. She meets a Killer whale, who has trouble using sonar, and wants to set it free from a theme park so it can join it's family in the wild.
It's a subject very close to Bindi's heart...as we all know...Steve died not that long ago.

While I am personally looking forward to another Orca centered film...the precence of Bindi makes me shudder. As an Aussie, I am sick of seeing her EVERYWHERE. I was moved to tears as she made that speech at her fathers funeral...but now, they are exploiting her for all she is worth.
She is happy now, on will wonder how long it'll last.
Whats your opion...????

this is like the same plot as the first movie. i wonder why they are using that same plot for the fourth? it doesn't make sence. if they are saying that willy's son (who would be named after willy) was in captivity or something along that line then that is different. although it did need a fourth movie made. but i have to admitt it's not going to be the same without keiko. but they should however dedicate the fourth one in memory of keiko. that would be a very nice thing to do.

Oh no! No! No! people they shouldn't do that!!! Come on!!! Bindi baby, you can do better then that, wait until your older then you can go on adventures like your father with cameras following you.

I bet they will use images of an orca and not a real one.
