However, he did confirm that production on the film is separate from a feature previously announced by LDS filmmaker Richard Dutcher, known for LDS-themed movies such as "God's Army" and "Brigham City." Dutcher's "The Prophet," a $12 million project, is also supposed to be released sometime next year to coincide with the bicentennial of Joseph Smith's birth. 23, 1805, in Sharon, Windsor County, Vt.Īccording to Michael Purdy, LDS Church spokesman, details about the movie, its title and cast won't be announced until Monday morning during a special news conference in Provo. The movie is being produced for the Memorial Building's Legacy Theater and is scheduled to be completed by December 2005 - the 200th anniversary of the birth of Joseph Smith.
