Conversations with God: The Movie
If It Can Happen To Him, It Can Happen To You
Frustrated, alone and tired of life’s letdowns, Neale Donald
Walsch (played by Henry Czerny) writes an angry letter to God. Much to his surprise,
God answers back.
In a darkly-lit room, numbers on a clock radio slowly tumble into
place with a thundering roar. It's 4:10 a.m., and Neale Donald Walsch
is suddenly wide awake.
His eyes dart around the room. Suddenly, a voice fills the air.
"Are You Ready To Talk?"
In a darkly lit room, numbers on a clock radio slowly tumble into
place with a thundering roar. It’s 4:31 a.m. and Neale Donald
Walsch is suddenly wide awake.
His eyes dart around the room—is someone there?
“Have you had enough yet?”
Neale slowly turns around to see where the voice is coming from.
“Are you ready now?”
Adapted from the books by Neale Donald Walsch that inspired and changed
the lives of millions worldwide, CONVERSATIONS WITH GOD tells the
true story of Walsch (Henry Czerny) who, at the lowest point in his
life, asks God some very hard questions. The answers he gets from
God/within become the foundation of an internationally-acclaimed book
series that has sold over 7 million copies and been translated into
34 languages. The film chronicles the dramatic journey of a down and
out man who inadvertently becomes a spiritual messenger and bestselling
author.
PRODUCTION DETAILS:
Industry veteran and producer/director Stephen Simon had long aspired
to bring CONVERSATIONS WITH GOD to the screen.
“My film career has been dominated by the quest to make films
out of three extraordinary books, the first two as a producer and
the third as producer/director,” he says.
“First, it was SOMEWHERE IN TIME, which took almost 5 years
from the time I first read it until the film was released. Next, WHAT
DREAMS MAY COME took almost 20 years. Now, CONVERSATIONS WITH GOD
has been in my head and, most importantly, my heart for almost 10
years.
For the past decade, I have dreamed of making Neale’s very emotional,
provocative and surprising journey into a movie. As a filmmaker, my
guiding principle has been that this film had to be from and of the
heart.”
Over the past ten years,
Neale Donald Walsch received offers to turn his book and life story
into a film. He turned them all down.
However, due to Walsch’s enthusiasm for WHAT DREAMS MAY COME,
the Academy Award-winning film that Simon produced in 1998, the two
became friends.
Walsch says that Simon has an “extraordinarily high level of
artistic integrity, vision and willingness to collaborate,”
and therefore, he finally agreed to have his story told on the big
screen.
Principal photography on CONVERSATIONS WITH GOD began November 7,
2005. It was shot over the course of five weeks in and around beautiful
Ashland, Oregon and the nearby Rogue Valley.
