Golden Globe winner Rutger Hauer has made a characterful, short film about the legend of The Flying Dutchman in association with the nautical lifestyle brand Gaastra. Rutger Hauer steps into the shoes of the Frisian Captain Barend Fockesz from the 17th century. It is a role that suits him well, because Rutger Hauer is a passionate sailor. For the contemporary interpretation of The Flying Dutchman Gaastra wanted to find someone that not only shared a love of the open water but also that suited this autumn’s theme ‘The Legendary Season’. Being himself a living legend Rutger Hauer equals to the idea the brand wanted to convey.
