Has anyone heard of this movie? Supposedly the producers are religious Christians, so the movie should be scripturally accurate.

Never heard of it.
Gawd, I thought O'Toole was long dead. Did a search and he's still kicking.

Yes, on TBN ... and the Producer ( I think is the son of Paul Crouch ).
Hollywood will be scratching their collective heads in denial when they see this movie become a success and a hit.

" Screen legends Peter O’Toole, Omar Sharif in all-star cast of One Night With The King "
" Gawd, I thought O'Toole was long dead. Did a search and he's still kicking "
That's what I thought, that both Petter O'toole and Omar Sharif were dead..... I thought that O'toole died back in the early 90s.
I have seen previews of this movie on TBN ( and it looks like to be a good movie ).
I never knew Tommy Tinny was a born again Christian, saw him on one of those TBN shows.

I wonder if Omar Sharif is cast as the Emperor? And does he play Bridge?.........

This movie has been in the making for years - my aunt gave me the book a couple of years ago.
It's great, I'm looking forward to the movie.

I saw a screening of the film last week; I'd meant to start a thread about it, but I've been down with a cold and kept putting it off. The version I saw was still rough-cut, but it looked like it would be an excellent movie. They didn't take any liberties with the book of Esther, beyond filling in some of the story around Esther's selection as the new queen and the reason why she hadn't been summoned before Xerxes for many months before going before him to plead for her people.
It's definitely worth checking out.

I haven't heard of this movie, but the "Veggie Tales" version my children has is great. ;) I hope this plays somewhere near me, I would love to see it.

Peter O'Toole and Omar Shariff. A blast from the past. Sounds great!
Next thing, we need a movie about Jael and Sisera.

Has anyone heard of this movie? Supposedly the producers are religious Christians, so the movie should be scripturally accurate.Well, accurate so far as their limited understanding permits (being unfortunately ignorant of Jewish oral tradition).
For example, why wouldn't the movie be released nearer to Purim?
To: Red Badger
Actually, John Rhys-Davies is Mordecai! This is a great story in the Bible. I hope they do it justice on the screen. And I really, really like JRD.

The old "Tent peg" through the head was an intresting form of "whacking" a bad guy, no? LOL!
