Kingdom Come
August 23rd 2008 09:08
It’s rather strange that the movie, Kingdom Come, due to be made in NZ over the next several months, is getting minimal publicity. Go to imdb.com and you can only access info if you’re a pro member. Look it up on Google and everyone who’s talking about it is telling you pretty much the same bits of information:
It’s a movie about the life of Jesus. Its director/producer is Dean Wright, a visual effects supervisor on The Chronicles of Narnia: The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe and Prince Caspian. He was visual effects producer on two Lord of the Rings films and worked on Titanic. The film's producer, Wellington company South Vineyard, confirmed yesterday the independent film would be based in Wellington. Shooting would be done in the North and South islands from early next year. A village is being built by Lake Benmore, which is to double for the Sea of Galilee.
And nothing more. No cast, no nothing. Dean Wright isn’t listed anywhere as having produced or directed any other movies, though he has a strong resume in the area of visual effects. And apparently he’s a Kiwi.
Why all the secrecy? Is it part of the publicity, a way to keep people speculating? Where are the promotional products? I can’t even find South Vineyard listed on the Net.
I was almost tempted to take up the offer of 14 days free IMDB Pro just to find out a bit more, in fact, but I didn’t want to go through all the rigmarole of putting in credit card details and then having to remember to cancel the thing before the 14 days were up.
So I can’t tell you any more than anyone else, but I’ll keep trying to find out!
Meanwhile check out this superb photo of Lake Benmore on a site called simply, West Coast.
