Erik Van Looy
Erik Ludovicus Maria Van Looy (; born 26 April 1962, Deurne) is a Belgian film director.〔http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0887452/〕 He is known for his thriller movies, a genre that is extremely popular in Belgium.
Erik is also a hugely popular television host in Flanders, most famously known for hosting "De Slimste Mens ter Wereld" (''translation: The Smartest Person on Earth''), but also for hosting "De Pappenheimers". The former is a television show aired on VIER where Erik Van Looy and his team of comical judges are on a quest to find the smartest person of the entire world (i.e., the one who has the best knowledge of politics, history, arts, sports, media and film). The show is known for having relatively high television ratings.
== Awards and recognition ==
His most famous films ''The Alzheimer Case'' and ''Loft'' have been widely appreciated by the Flemish audiance as well as by the Flemish critics, with ''Loft'' even being the best watched Flemish movie in theaters up to now. Loft has got a Dutch remake in The Netherlands which was also a success. This resulted in an American remake which was again highly liked by the Flemish audiance and critics, but not by the American critics. The reason for Loft not being a success in the United States will be a cultural difference between the United Stated and Flanders/The Netherlands. As Erik Van Looy pointed out in Flanders/The Netherlands cheating on someone (by a male or a female) is not considered to be such a big deal (as long as you still love your partner), where in the US it caused the main characters to become all very unlikeable to the American audiance.〔http://www.hln.be/hln/nl/945/Film/article/detail/2205863/2015/02/04/Erik-Van-Looy-reageert-op-kritiek-IJshockey-kijken-in-plaats-van-vreemdgaan-had-misschien-wel-gewerkt.dhtml〕 The critique that the script made by Bart De Pauw contained too many plot twists in the end was however, a valid point which has also been made in Flanders. This however didn't let people find the movie less valuable because of the strong cast of the original film.
In Flanders in 2008 and 2009 Erik Van Looy also received the prestigious Flemish Television Award for "Best host", and received those same years together with his team of "De Slimste Mens ter Wereld" the Flemish Television Award for "Best Show, Category Entertainment".
