There’s a reason why for decades filmmakers could not make a movie on Sarawak’s first White Rajah. That, of course, is the well-known story of James Brooke, founder of the White Rajah dynasty in Sarawak in 1842. It will be interesting to see how Allyn and company will tackle this most delicate aspect of the first White Rajah. Will the Brooke family remain steadfast to Ranee Sylvia’s stand of “No sex please, he’s James Brooke” or allow the scriptwriters some latitude to hint at bromance? Come to think of it, the producers might as well make a movie about Charles and avoid the White Rajah jinx.
