Oh, I hope he isn't. Spielberg is not a Christian, and he doesn't like Christianity. Remember E.T.? That was his "religious statement" on Christianity. While THIS PRESENT DARKNESS would make a superb movie, Spielberg just doesn't seem to have the background to do the story justice. -= Scott Advani =- ------------------ "In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God." - John 1:1

If the movie was directed/produced/etc. by people with the talent to pull off Perentti's story in a fairly complete fashion and the perspective to stick to the truth were to do it, I would be first on line to see it! The plot was excellent and if someone is able to translate it to film, it would be a powerful movie. By the way, does anyone know if there is a third book, following "Piercing the Darkness"? > > -= Scott Advani =- > > ------------------ > "In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and > the Word was God." - John 1:1 Scott Deering "For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of this present darkness, against spiritual hosts of wickedness in the heavenly places."
