Famed for being the most expensive film ever-turned-titanic flop, Waterworld wasn’t a box office disaster. “I had the joy of saying, ‘Hey Bjarke, when you threw mad shade on Kevin Costner, I bet you didn’t think the screenwriter would be called up next!'” laughs the writer today.
Ingels didn’t realise that the next speaker was Rader – the original writer of Waterworld. Rader recalls that hotshot Danish architect Bjarke Ingels led the discussion: “At the end of his presentation Bjarke said, ‘As you can see, this is very well thought-out plan… not a disaster like Kevin Costner’s Waterworld!’” Rader was there, alongside architects, engineers and developers, to discuss the building of a prototype island city – a concept being quite literally floated as a solution to rising sea levels and overcrowded coastal cities.
In April 2019, writer and filmmaker Peter Rader attended a round table at the United Nations headquarters.
