"The Ten Commandments" Wed, Apr 1st

I'll be running "The Ten Commandments" on Wednesday, April 1st at the Heights Theater in Columbia Heights, MN. The doors open at 6:30 PM and the film starts at 7:00.

Back in 2009 I did the same thing, rented out The Heights for a showing of "Ben-Hur". Before the film I announced that I had written my screenplay and desired to ask Will Smith to consider the role of Moses. Now, 6 years later, I will do the same thing, only this time showing the film I wanted originally.

Cecil B Demil's classic starring Charlton Heston and Yul Brynner is recognized as one of the greatest epic films of all time. It dramatizes the biblical story of the life of Moses, an adopted Egyptian prince who becomes the deliverer of his real brethren, the enslaved Hebrews, and therefore leads the Exodus to Mount Sinai, where he receives, from God, the Ten Commandments. This is an inspirational film for the whole family.

Letter to Will Smith

I sent this letter to Will Smith during Christmas break. It will be hard to read unless you save it and blow it up. Here is what the letter says..

Dear Mr. Smith,

I'm renting out the Heights Theater in Minneapolis on April 1st, 2015 to show Cecil B Demils "The Ten Commandments". My primary goal is to use this event to make contact with you. For 7 years I've been working to ask you a question.

Would you consider the role of Moses in a modern day version of "The Ten Commandments"?

The name of my film is "Dreamers Empire". After seeing "The Pursuit of Happyness" I felt as though I needed to ask you to consider this film. Your portrayal of Chris Gardner was amazing. To prove my sincerity you can see my blog..  INeedToContactWillSmith.com.

In early 2015 I will also be starting a Kickstarter campaign to raise funds to complete a storyboard. I will present the storyboard to you to prove the worth of this film idea.

Imagine what it would mean to someone like myself who is pursuting a dream, to have your support. I would like to stand in front of 200+ people on April 1st and say "Yes, Will Smith has said he would consider the role!"  I hope you will consider calling or emailing me. Thanks for your consideration.

Dean Rice
