Wallace

If you've seen the movies Braveheart, Secretariat, Man in the Iron Mask, you've seen the work of Randall Wallace.


At the lowest point in his career, he humbled himself and prayed for God's help. Then he quit writing what he thought Hollywood wanted, and wrote the script he wanted to write for Braveheart. It was nominated for an academy award.

The requiem hymn "Mansions of the Lord" was played at Ronald Reagan's funeral. Wallace wrote the lyrics of that hymn for a movie he directed in 2001, We Were Soldiers.

He may be currently working with Mel Gibson on a movie about the resurrection of Jesus Christ as a sequel to The Passion.

(cont'd tomorrow)
