Setting the Stage

We couldn’t be more excited here about the reaction everywhere to the upcoming Celestine Prophecy Movie. Our intention is that the movie become a community experience, and that everyone view it with friends, family, the group they discussed the book with, and especially, the group that represents the majority, I’m told, of new readers: teens and twenty-somethings. We trust you will catch the vision of thousands of people coming together, first to discuss the importance of a deeper spirituality and then to experience and describe the film.

Not that “describing the film,” will be easy. Our test audiences among readers give it rave reviews, but when pressed to describe the exact impact the movie has, they use a wide range of metaphors — inspiring, awakening, opening — that sort of thing — which is not unlike what happened with the book. But as we see and hear all this, the first thing any of us who worked on the project think is, “We can’t take credit for that.”

We sought to make every decision intuitively, to be true to the book. We even made some scenes smaller, more contemplative and less “movie magic”-oriented, to accomplish that. But like the book, the movie grew to have its own energy, and power, far beyond what we can claim we intended. A large part of this impact is the music, of course, written by Nuno Maylo, but the overall outcome, we had to just let happen.

What I’m saying to audiences about the film is that it can’t be viewed as an ordinary movie. Its signposts and plot points aren’t the emotional, titillating ride we’re used to. Those who won’t like it, will probably complain about that point. But at least for readers who understood the book, the journey will feel familiar. It takes a certain “letting go” to what’s happening to our main character, not to his emotions, but to his soul as it awakens. We have to become aware of a reality the cynic dismisses out of hand in order to take it seriously enough to see all the connections that manifest as the plot unfolds.
As of right now, we’re set for a late March release, and Salle and I are traveling around showing clips of the movie and from the “behind the scenes” DVD where the actors and crew talk about the synchronicity that happened as we shot the film. You can see a trailers at the movie site: www.thecelestineprophecymovie.com

We’re hitting churches and conferences in order to start the discussion now about the awareness shown in the movie. Again, we are trusting that a full discussion of the importance of a deeper spiritual awareness will begin to take place now, before the movie, and then in a large way after the movie, to help meet the challenges we face in the world. The time is ripe.

Stay tuned for a full announcement of our distribution and roll out plans...

Guess I will have to read the book now. I have heard of it, and my wife has a copy in the book case, but I never read it.

YYAAYYYYYYY!! Thanks! I'm so excited now!~

>This is one of the rare book (with spirit walker) that i could never finish!

Me either. And the film trailer didn't really add much to my enthusiasm... or lack thereof, I should say. It seems like a story with such promise that never really delivers.

On the other hand, Alan Eirera's (sp?) book "From the Heart of the World - The Elder Brother's Warning", and the quasi-documentary of the same name was unforgettable, and while not as inward a journey, it's implications are similar in nature, far-reaching and in some ways much more immediate.

Hi All!

I just wanted to add to this thread since I saw a prescreening of the movie last week in NC.

Wow. It is a very powerful movie.

I left so inspired and in awe. I was a little worried whether they would do the book – which changed my whole world view about nine years ago – justice…

You know, some films, especially independent, have bad acting, drag on and really slaughter terrific stories. And when I saw the trailer I was even more worried, because the acting looked kind of cheesy and I just didn’t want to be disappointed with something so dear to me…BUT…all I can say is WOW. I truly am beyond words. It was excellent.

The acting was great, the story zipped right along, introducing each insight in a rather quick manner, whereas in the book it went over and over each insight several times to burn it into your brain. The movie was EXTREMELY true to the book. The beauty in nature, how they showed energy being exchanged and passed, the whole thing was so true to form and I could literally follow the book in my head along with the movie. I laughed, I cried, a lot of things in my life right now are making so much sense...

What has me so amazed is that THIS STORY is being shown on the big screen and this information is being passed to the masses. The way they depicted the government and religion wanting to keep the insights under wraps…the whole thing…I can hardly believe the media has progressed enough to show something of this caliber…

Landmark Theaters has picked it up and the first showing is in San Francisco on April 19th. James and Salle Redfield will be there…and then they move across the country…Seattle, Denver, Phoenix, Sedona, etc….it will take them a while to move east…but by the end of May, it should be almost completely across the country.

I am making it my mission to get the word out. :) I've been posting around, because I don't think it's getting the exposure it deserves.

I HIGHLY RECOMMEND THIS MOVIE TO ABSOLUTELY EVERYONE ON EARTH. I think this is a big part of a massive world shift that is to take place over time. Please go see this movie.
