My excitement at hearing that one of the best stories of all time, Count of Monte Cristo, is coming to the theatres was immediately dashed upon reading that Disney is doing it.

They will feminize, homosexualize, animal rights-ize, and anti-white male-ize this story.

Last week on The World Over on EWTN, Raymond Arroyo interviewed Caviezel. I don't know if you can catch a replay in your area or if it's available on the Web site.

Caviezel talked about making The Count of Monte Cristo. I am not a good recounter, but I'll try. His chauffeur would make the sign of the cross every time they passed a church. Caviezel asked him about it and the guy said it was something his father would do and have him do. If he was sleeping his father would wake him and he would make the sign of the cross. A few days or weeks later, Caviezel asked the chauffeur if he would pray the rosary with him. The chauffeur agreed and they would pray the rosary every day on the way to or from the set. Then he told of a day on the set where in the scene he is supposed to look up at the ceiling while pondering some difficult decision (I haven't read the book). Well, the room the scene is shot in has a white ceiling. Caviezel asks the director what is he supposed to be looking at. The director points him to another room and it turns out that the picture that Caviezel will be "looking" at is a painting of the Coronation of Mary! Caviezel was quite pleased with that, but he didn't want to make too big a deal of it with the director because he knew that the director wasn't Catholic.

Anyway, I may try to see a matinee showing of the movie. It actually looked pretty good in the clips they showed.
