Verrrrrrrrrrrrry Scary

Last updated on: July 20, 2005 at 9:04 am By Barbara Nicolosi

The trailer for my friend Scott Derrickson’s new movie, The Exorcism of Emily Rose is on-line here Be warned though, it’s really scary! Scott, as it happens, has authored one of the most original and provocative chapters in our November release Act One book Behind the Screen. He is a thoughtful and committed Christian, who, IMHO, is just a few short Chesterton books away from Crossing the Tiber. (Heh heh, I know you’re there, Scott!) The film will premiere at...

A Letter I’m Sick of Writing

Last updated on: July 18, 2005 at 9:36 am By Barbara Nicolosi

I was recently asked to give notes on a screenplay that is being produced by a group of earnest Christians. None of the folks controlling the creative decisions have ever been involved a feature film before. All are from outside of Los Angeles and the money (think, millions of dollars…) is coming from a rich Christian somewhere out there in fly-over country. I generally avoid reading this kind of project – especially because no one ever wants to pay me... Read more

Medievalism is SO Happening

You scored as Anselm. Anselm is the outstanding theologian of the medieval period.He sees man’s primary problem as having failed to render unto God what we owe him, so God becomes man in Christ and gives God what he is due.

Details Gets the Picture…Er, A Picture, Anyway

Last updated on: July 13, 2005 at 10:49 pm By Barbara Nicolosi

From the very beginning, my practice with secular journalists has been to give them near total access. The practice was framed by the ideological pillars that a) It would always be better to speak for ourselves than to be interpreted from outside; and b) the Truth has nothing to fear from discussion. It has been something I have fought for. One of the original founders of Act One dropped out in the first few months because I agreed to be... Read more

States in Which There is No Screenwriting

Last updated on: July 13, 2005 at 9:09 am By Barbara Nicolosi

create your own personalized map of the USA …That would be the white states. I KNOW this, because they are the states I haven’t visited yet doing my schtick. I find this white state-red state polarization deeply troubling. I can’t see that it can end in a good place if we don’t do something to remedy this ominous breach. Somebody, quick! Invite me to a high plains state! (I swiped this from Karen Hall, who is supposed to be re-writing... Read more
