Monday, January 30, 2012 Tom Cruise To Make Movie About The Abduction Of Ben on Kos Island

Hollywood actor Tom Cruise is apparently getting ready to shoot a film on the island of Kos centered around the story of Ben Needham. Almost two decades ago, Ben Needham was abducted in Kos and he is one of the longest-running missing person’s cases in British ­history but his search has never received the same level of publicity as that of Madeleine McCann. Moved by the incident, Tom Cruise helped spread the word of Ben’s disappearance recently by sending a tweet to well over 2.4 million ­followers. Others followed including singer Boy George and actress Jennifer Saunders. As a result of the celebrity involvement, the following day Scottish Television (STV) and ITV Calendar both did a story on Ben. The very next day 5 UK Tabloid newspapers also ran the story. The result of the day was Ben's story gaining a lot more publicity worldwide once again, and both the Facebook page and Twitter account exceeded 10,000 followers. And now an article in the protothema newspaper in Greece said that Tom Cruise's production company is planning to make a movie about this tragic event. This is wonderful news. We wish this family the very best. We have posted a picture of Ben from their website, but if you want to know more on what happened to Ben and read the timeline, then visit http://www.helpfindben.co.uk
