I'm in a waiting mode too & so, so tired. <BR/><BR/>I hate to be tacky, but the TNT movies they made -- of Abraham with Richard Harris & Barabra Hershey and the Joseph with Leslie Ann Warren & Ben Kingsley are really, really wonderful. I know Jeff wants a big movie. But if you want to see some great acting and wonderful portrayal of the Biblical stories, I love these. Ben Kingsley has a moment as Potiphar, when he is talking to his wife about her accusations of Joseph, that is truly brilliant.alicebhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10286599210959546012noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19736311.post-1140435847757878552006-02-20T03:44:00.000-08:002006-02-20T03:44:00.000-08:00Jeff,Robert G.

The Ten Commandments are an opportunity for special effects, but the Joseph story is an opportunity for complex storytelling and wide-ranging performances. It's amazing to me that this story holds prominence in the world's best-selling book, and no one has thought to throw some money into making it an Oscar-contending feature.<BR/><BR/>What screenwriter will take it on?<BR/><BR/>Ya hear me, Act One students?<BR/>Ya hear me, Act One instructors?Jeffrey Overstreethttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14715376140228118442noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19736311.post-1140409211244110782006-02-19T20:20:00.000-08:002006-02-19T20:20:00.000-08:00Hey Sean, thanks for this blog.
