Screen legends Peter O’Toole, Omar Sharif in all-star cast of One Night With The King
Every Jewish child knows who Queen Esther was, now it's time for entire world to know: On October 13, Gener8Xion Entertainment’s One Night With the King opens in over 850 theatres in select cities across the United States.
Starring silver screen legends Peter O’Toole and Omar Sharif, along with the renowned John Rhys-Davies (Lord of the Rings trilogy), Luke Goss (Blade II, ZigZag), John Noble (Lord of the Rings: Return of the King), Tommy ‘Tiny’ Lister (Next Friday), James Callis (Bridget Jones Diary, Battlestar Galactica), Jonah Lotan (24, The Jacket) and Hollywood new-comer Tiffany Dupont, this impressive motion picture chronicles the amazing life of Esther, one of the Bible’s most beloved and courageous heroes.
Based on the best-selling novel Hadassah: One Night With The King by Tommy Tenney and Mark Andrew Olsen, this dramatic big-screen adaptation chronicles a young woman’s rise from peasant to princess, her courageous role in the redemption of her people from destruction and death, and her winning of the love of the most powerful man in the kingdom - by seeking his heart rather than the riches of his kingdom.
“One Night With The King is a story of divine destiny,” explained the film’s producer Matthew Crouch, Chairman and CEO of Gener8Xion Entertainment. “Hadassah was a poor, unknown peasant girl, an orphan, an outcast from a distant land, who went on to become queen of a powerful empire. Her poignant story proves that anyone, no matter their circumstances, can rise to greatness when guided by the hand of destiny.”
“The lush color and vigorous landscape seen throughout the movie can only be captured in a classic old-world setting, ripe with millennia of history,” noted Crouch. “One Night With The King is rich with mystical allure, suspense, intrigue, and political intrigue within unparalleled drama. It’s an unforgettable love story set in a world of adventure and it appeals to people of all faiths.”
One Night With The King was produced by Matthew and Laurie Crouch, and directed by Michael O. Sajbel. The screenplay was written by Stephan Blinn. Also produced by Richard J. Cook, Stephen Blinn and Lawrence Mortorff. Director of photography for the film was Steven Bernstein, A.S.C.
Gener8Xion Entertainment first won the acclaim of audiences and critics alike with 1999 runaway hit The Omega Code, named that year’s top limited release motion picture by Hollywood’s Daily Variety.
My thoughts exactly! It's like releasing a Christmas movie in August!..........
A movie for such a time as this?

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"
