BERLIN (AP) -- Steve Buscemi brought "Interview," based on a film by slain Dutch director Theo van Gogh, to the Berlin film festival Wednesday, saying it isn't intended as a political statement.
"Interview" is the first of three English-language remakes, each by different directors, of a Dutch-language trilogy by van Gogh.
Van Gogh was shot and stabbed to death on an Amsterdam, Netherlands, street in 2004 by a man angered by how the director depicted Islam in his short TV movie "Submission."
