Should anyone be interested I got the following announcement a few hours ago.


========================================
Dear fellow U.S. HT Members...

This is the most exciting week for those who care about putting the message of CWG in the world that we have had in very a long time! On Friday, October 27 the movie Conversations with God will be opening on the big screen in movie theatres across the country!

I have just returned from a 48-day 19-stop tour of the U.S., with two stops in Canada, to "sneak preview" the film to over 10,000 people and I can tell you that everyone who has seen this movie is very excited about it! Now all we need is to get people to the theatre this weekend.

I am asking you to play your part in creating a groundswell of support for this movie and its wonderful message. Please, PLEASE tell your friends about it. Send an email to EVERYONE on your personal list, wherever they live, and alert them to this movie! And, of course, make sure that YOU get to the film yourself THIS WEEKEND, with your family and everyone else you can think of to bring! First weekend box office determines whether a movie is held over and goes on to continued showing!

This is one small and yet very impacting and enjoyable way that you can play a role in spreading and sharing the messages of Conversations with God that have touched your life so deeply and meant so much to your heart and soul. We hope you will do as Will Arntz is doing.

Who is Will Arntz? Well, he's the producer of WHAT THE BLEEP, that amazing motion picture that so many of us just loved. HE is sending an email to everyone on HIS list -- and here is what it says! (I thought you might enjoy his "take" on all this!)

FROM THE PRODUCER OF 'WHAT THE BLEEP'...

Cinema Alert: Conversations with God to be released in theaters Friday, October 27.

Based on the life of Neale Donald Walsch and his journey which ultimately lead to the publishing of the Conversations with God books, The Movie is an excellent telling of this epic journey to realization. And epic it is. As Cate Montana, our editor, said: "It's amazing what spirit has to put us through before we're ready to listen".

All of the elements of a great storytelling are there. Fine acting, photography, direction, all combine to wonderfully tell the story. And it's a story that I've gone back to in my mind for days afterwards. For me it's great to watch a film about a true hero. Not some "hero" who miraculously dodges 20,000 bullets to shoot everyone else, but someone who wrestles with the self-bullets, and comes out to help millions (8 million + books sold!).

The film industry is a slave to Box Office Numbers. That's how they determine what is hot and selling. For this reason I really hope people will get out opening weekend and see this film. You've heard it before - but here it is again - if you/we want more films that are entertaining AND have real substance, the only way to do that is get out and go.

-Will Arntz
Producer
WHAT THE BLEEP

From Neale: Please share this with all your friends if you know that they enjoyed CwG and What the Bleep. We feel sure they will want to be told about the opening weekend of Conversations with God: The Movie. Let's do for CwG what folks in America did for Mel Gibson's film, The Passion. Let's create a real stir at the box office and get this message to hundreds of thousands of people this weekend! THANKS!

Hugs and love,
Neale Donald Walsch

P.S. To find out where the movie is showing go to www.cwgthemove.com and check the exhibit sites, by state. If the movie is not showing near you, please call your local moviehouse manager and ask that it be brought in. That's how What the Bleep became so wildly popular, and lovers of CWG can now do the same!
========================================

I hope to figure out where it's playing locally and take the entire family.
