My thoughts exactly! It's like releasing a Christmas movie in August!..........
A movie for such a time as this?
Here's the "official" tee shirt design.......
Awesome! I love the story of Esther.
Beauty & brains.
I'm sure that it will be better than Hollyweird's interpretation.
BTW, I finally got around to watching the Israeli Sukkot movie "Ushpizin" which was billed as the "first Ultra-Orthodox movie ever produced." It's very good.
Well, the 50s movie starring Joan Collins didn't do the story justice. Joan "couldn't" look bad for the cameras, ya know. Being a peasant? Heaven forbid! However, I remember a book called "Behold Your Queen" in my small rural school library that I enjoyed so much when I was a teenager. Even the Bible story of Esther didn't tell the story as good as this book. Another 50s/early 60s movie about the biblical Ruth and Naomi starring Stuart Whitman as Boaz was good, much better than the Joan Collins movie. This movie of Ruth provided an insight into the ancient Jewish law and tradition.
Is the movie as good as the Luther film a couple years back?
Esther and Mordecai were not peasants, being descendants of the royal family of Saul. Even though David replaced Saul as King, his family continued to be honored as royalty and nobility.
I was invited to view a short premier of the movie last week. It was a terrific action film and very well done. Sometimes Christian movies aren't quite as "polished" and professionally produced as others but this one was excellent. After viewing the preview I certainly plan to see the movie when it's released the middle of October.
Samuel. This is a good link. It gives info about the movie. http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0430431/

Never heard of it before now. Not sure where the appeal's going to be, unless it's to the female movie-goer.
He has been "preserved".
It has a Persian theme..

I haven't heard of this movie.
Salem, Esther Ruth, M. Espinola, RoadTest, and F15Eagle - have any of you heard of this movie?
Unfortunately, I never got around to seeing Luther, so I don't have a point of comparison.
That's great! (I think "we're" doing better in polishing things to compete!)
First reference I have seen. Which probably means that the DNC and the Hollyweirdos are scared to death that it will be accurate and will succeed.
An RN that I used to work with had a Korean connection and got cigarettes by the case from there. Anyway, the cigarettes were Omar Sharif brand and said something like "Smooth and cool like me -- Omar Sharif"
