KEN ANNAKIN (above), the director of such recent films as The Story of Robin Hood, Hotel Sahara and The Planter's Wife, will be in New Zealand this summer. He is to direct the filming of the J. Arthur Rank production of The Seekers, an adaptation, in Technicolor, of a novel of the pioneer days written by John Guthrie, a New Zealand novelist now living in London. The location scenes will probably be shot mainly at Mercury Bay, in the Coromandel district, and the production team will be here for about a month. The producer of The Seekers will be George Brown, who has already looked over the locale out here, and the star may well be Jack Hawkins, at present being seen in The Cruel Sea. Ken Annakin paid a visit to New Zealand in 1937 and 1938 when, it was reported, he made a bicycle trip through the Haast Pass—carrying his bicycle most of the way.
