One Night With The King

Posted by: Denelle

October 13, 2006 is the slated release date for One Night With The King a movie based on best selling book of the same name (as well as the book Hadassah). The cast has several well known actors including Omar Sharif (Prince Memucan), Peter O'Toole (Samuel the Prophet), and John Rhys Davies (Mordecai) .

**Note: Sharif and O'Toole worked together in the famed Lawrence of Arabia. Rhys Davies was Gimli the Dwarf in the LOTR series.

You can watch the Trailer here.

I've only seen a few reviews from people who were able to see the pre-screening but they have all been excellent. It is always nice to see Christian movies being released along with the mainstream stuff from Hollywood. Especially, when the Christian product is comparable in quality. The costumes and the sets are gorgeous.

It is even more exciting that this movie is a product of the ministry of one of the UPCI's own, Tommy Tenney. I know there are people who don't approve of his ministry but he is certainly managing to get things done and I say way to go Tommy!
