Epic Film Upcoming:
“Glastonbury: Isle of Light”
There is plenty of great pre-production news
on this most epic tale of the struggles of Joseph of Arimathea, and
Prince Caractacus overcoming their enemies and preserving
Christianity from Palestine, Rome, France, and to the final refuge
land of Great Britain where the first above ground Christian church
was founded in the first century.
Several major Hollywood stars and talent from
the well known films, the Lord of the Rings, Apocalypto, King
Arthur, Chronicles of Narnia, Star Wars (from all episodes), King
Kong, the Legend of Zoro, etc etc, have all officially attached
themselves to the production team of this film.
What I gather from
http://glastonburyfilm.com I expect you shall hear of this film
very soon as their P&A campaign sounds near launch. Here are some of
the quotes and reviews:
QUOTES AND REVIEWS
"In
this Script the visual arena of ancient Jerusalem, France, and
Britain will have a grand effect on screen. An original and engaging
chronicle and a very promising idea and concept."
-Chris Morley, Script Analyst-Jerry Bruckheimer Films
“Certainly wets the appetite… a milieu and an environment that is
most intriguing.”
-Michael Donaldson, International Documentary Association, President
“An
AMAZING script! I would be honored to be a part of this project.”
-John Rhys-Davies, Actor
"The
main character, Caractacus, has great internal as well as external
battles, and that's the best part! There's an abundance of rich
material to be found here, indeed this is a sweeping epic. The words
spoken by all the characters create a certain kind of poetry.”
-Baseline StudioSystems
“I
think Glastonbury is a very praiseworthy production, and if I might
add very professionally created”.
-Richard Bray, Cinematographer, BBC
“The
script does well to show how Caractacus gradually finds his faith,
great internal conflict."
-Oxygen Network
“I
would LOVE to work on Glastonbury! This is really a sweeping and
mystical historical epic.”
-Kent Sparling, Skywalker Sound, Lucas Film Ltd.
“I
really liked the script and want to work on this. I think it has the
bones of a great production and I really enjoyed reading it.”
-John Howe, Conceptual Designer, Lord of the Rings
"You
were not being modest as to the breathe and sweep of the story. It
really was a pleasure to read which is often not the case!"
-Robin Gurland, Star Wars Casting Director
“The
fact that one of Caractacus' brother kills their uncle and accepts
Roman rule is amazing in terms of its stakes, not only for their
family but also for their whole country. The stakes don't get much
higher than that. Stakes is one of the key elements in any script
but in a historical epic, they are super paramount. The stakes are
so high for everyone in this script"
-Script Shark
