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)
