I have a nice insider tip for you that isn't public knowledge:

Columbia Pictures and National Geographic are teaming up to make a movie about the miraculous survival of Ernest Shackleton during his death-defying Arctic trek out of an icy hell in the North Pole.

Mel Gibson is being courted to play he lead.

"When it comes to trustworthy theologians one can usually honor the rule of thumb that the deader the better."-Dr. John Hannah, DTS (of all places)

Is it a movie about God's providence?

I have seen the movie with Kenneth Branaugh and I have read books about his voyage, since I myself am an amateur explorer. It will be interesting, especially if Mel Gibson is in it. It ought to be gory, since all of his latest movies tend to be.

Jeremiah 23:16,17, "Thus says the Lord of hosts: “Do not listen to the words of the prophets who prophesy to you, filling you with vain hopes. They speak visions of their own minds, not from the mouth of the Lord. 17They say continually to those who despise the word of the Lord, ‘It shall be well with you’; and to everyone who stubbornly follows his own heart, they say, ‘No disaster shall come upon you."

Cool. Congratulations.

I thought Shackleton treked the south pole (antarctica)?

He did in the first one. We're talking about the sequel.



I don't even know who Shackleton is...

Cool. I am a big fan of Shackleton. I read one of his books last year about his South Pole adventures. A great man.

Hollywood decided polar bears were needed so they switched poles and are adding a global warming subplot Just kidding, it was a typo on my part, he did explore Antarctica.

Let Mel do one based on the Covenanters. How 'bout Old Mortality?
