From what I've seen (trailers, cuts on TBN), this is going to be excellent!

John Rhys-Davies is great as Mordecai. He plays it exactly like it should be. The guy that plays Baltar on "Battlestar Galactica" is the actor who portrays Haman..and he is utterly evil! John Noble (Lord Denethor in "Lord of the Rings") plays a Persian prince/lord.

The scenery is exquisite, and the storyline follows the Book of Esther fairly closely. The film is not technically from Esther, but from a book by Tommy Tenney, "One Night with the King" (the film's title).

Sadly, although the film is going to be quite good (unlike the other films Matt Crouch has produced), it'll go nowhere...because Hollywood won't support it. Even though it's a strong Jewish story, the elite of Hollywood will have nothing to to with it because it was made by a Christian.

I would recommend everyone to see this film...not because it's by a Christian filmmaker, but because this honestly looks like a fantastic movie!

Worse. Rhys-Davies made un PC remarks about Muslims taking over Europe.
