FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
--Screen
legends Peter O’Toole, Omar Sharif in all-star cast of biblical epic--
LOS ANGELES (September 18,
2006) --- Not since the splendor of Franco Zeffirelli’s Romeo
and Juliet has a romance of
such epic proportion hit the theatres. On October 13, Gener8Xion
Entertainment Inc.’s
spectacular One Night With the King opens in over 850 theatres in
select cities
across the nation. Starring
silver screen legends Peter O’Toole and Omar Sharif, along with the
renowned John Rhys-Davies
(Lord of the Rings trilogy), Luke Goss (Blade II, ZigZag), John
Noble (Lord of the Rings:
Return of the King), Tommy ‘Tiny’ Lister (Next Friday), James Callis
(Bridget Jones Diary,
Battlestar Galactica), Jonah Lotan (24, The Jacket) and Hollywood
newcomer
Tiffany Dupont, this
impressive motion picture chronicles the amazing life of Esther,
one of the Bible’s most
beloved and courageous heroes.
Based on the best-selling
novel Hadassah: One Night With The King by Tommy Tenney and
Mark Andrew Olsen, this
dramatic big-screen adaptation chronicles a young woman’s rise from
peasant to princess, her
courageous role in the redemption of her people from destruction and
death,
and her winning of the love
of the most powerful man in the kingdom -- by seeking his heart rather
than the riches of his
kingdom.
“One Night With The King is a
story of divine destiny,” explained the film’s producer Matthew
Crouch, Chairman and CEO of
Gener8Xion Entertainment. “Hadassah was a poor, unknown peasant
girl, an orphan, an outcast
from a distant land, who went on to become queen of a powerful empire.
Her poignant story proves
that anyone, no matter their circumstances, can make an impact on their
world.”
Shot entirely on location in
Rajasthan – India ’s very own land of the kings – One Night With
The King exudes exotic
splendor. “The lush color and vigorous landscape seen throughout the
movie
can only be captured in a
classic old-world setting, ripe with millennia of history,” noted
Crouch.
“One Night With The King is
rich with mystical allure, suspense, intrigue, and political intrigue
within unparalleled drama.
It’s an unforgettable love story set in a world of adventure and it
appeals
to people of all faiths.”
One Night With The King was
produced by Matthew & Laurie Crouch, and directed by Michael
O. Sajbel. The screenplay was
written by Stephan Blinn, based on the Novel “Hadassah:One Night
with the King” by Tommy
Tenney & Mark Andrew Olsen. Also produced by Richard J. Cook,
Stephen Blinn and Lawrence
Mortorff. Director of photography for the film was Steven Bernstein,
A.S.C. One Night With The
King is rated PG and runs 121 minutes. The American Bible Society
has the official designation
of “Endorsing Sponsor” for One Night With The King according to the
organization’s COO, Mr.
Richard Stewart.
Gener8Xion Entertainment
first won the acclaim of audiences and critics alike with 1999
runaway hit The Omega Code,
named that year’s top limited release motion picture by Hollywood
’s Daily Variety. “Warner
Brothers called The Omega Code the ‘grandfather’ of inspirational
movie,”
recalled Crouch. “But One
Night With the King, eclipses Omega in beauty, drama, and inspiration.
And the awesome screen
presence of legendary actors Peter O’ Toole and Omar Sharif adds
immensely to the film’s
appeal.
Widely known for its
effective grassroots marketing strategies, Gener8Xion Entertainment has
included a three-week pastor
preview screening tour as part of the debut of One Night With the King.
