A Schindler’s List of Communism film would be great. In honor of the passing of Solzhenitsyn, it’s time for a major production of one of his works.

Why doesn’t conservative movie stars, billionaires, businessmen etc... bankroll a movie studio. that’s how you get the ball rolling.

Well, it would seem some are doing their part...

Hollywood Takes on the Left (a right wing movie with right wing Hollywood actors and producers).

There is something in the works on a few movies.I was told some names-not in secret-but forget them right now.I know of 4 scripts on a spiritual movie and also a producer who is going to allow his private plane for pilgrimages.I know his name but don’t want to say it just now.Things are moving nicely.

I believe that Fahrenheit 9/11 wasn’t as big of a hit as it was a money maker for Moore. It was basically a low cost film.

Suprised nobody is paying any attention to Sam Raimi’s upcoming production of a TV series this fall based on Terry Goodkind’s “Sword of Truth” series of novels.

I’m a huge fan of these books and I’m looking forward to a faithful TV rendition. While it’s a fantasy series about wizards and magic and such, it’s absolutely chock-full of references to modern politics and conservative ideals.

Just that this is actually being produced shows a huge shift in the entertainment landscape.

If they thought they could make money, they would. Apparently, they don’t think it is a worthwhile investment. Investors are going to put returns above ideology. It’s what makes America great.

I'd like to see the "Among the Hidden" novels made into a movie. These books are aimed at kids, 11-14. They concern a time when it is illegal to have more than 2 kids. The hidden refer to those third children. There are a few other leftist policies mentioned, i.e. control of food production, control of knowledge, land development, etc.

Doug Phillips of http://www.visionforum.com

“take every frame captive”

new film studio that specifically concentrates on making movies that glorify God.

Check it out and support it.

Do they want to make conservative movies or religious movies?

Great books! Read them all, in order.

According to info I've seen online about the show, it's going to start Nov 1, as a syndicated ABC/Disney production.

Teaser here: http://www.sword-of-truth.com

One of the local TV stations had a question of the day this week...
“Should the law limit 2 kids per family???”

I would be very interested in participating in this or other, similar projects. I grew up in L.A. and have some friends who still work in the business. Conservatives, too.

Good morning, Zed

I stopped at my library last night and they only had four of his later books so I had to put in a request for The Wizard’s First Rule. I did however find an old paperback of his Debt of Bones, which I managed to read last night. I wanted to see if it was a story a woman would be interested in. So far, I liked what I read.

(now I know where you got your FReeper handle)

Thanks
