BBC commissions 'Tiger Kill' documentary
Published Thursday, Nov 15 2007, 00:02 GMT | By James Welsh
Icon Films is to produce a documentary for BBC Two showing how difficult it is to capture a tiger kill on film.
Tiger Kill, which will air as part of the channel's Natural World strand early in the New Year, will follow cameraman Simon King and tiger expert Alphonse Roy attempting to film "the elusive and fleeting moment of a tiger at the peak of its powers".
Harry Marshall, who directed and produced the documentary for Icon, explained: "Icon Films has brought together two experts to achieve a feat only once before captured on film. Simon King, one of the world's leading experts on tigers and their behaviour, had never been to India and had never seen a wild tiger. We paired him with Indian wildlife filmmaker and tiger expert, Alphonse Roy, to make a truly historic film."
