In dem Film "Tears of a King", wird behauptet, das Elvis Mormone geworden wäre. Hier die Hintergründe:
Tears of a King" is being directed by filmmaker Rob Diamond, who also wrote the screenplay. The movie is set for release next year to coincide with the 30th anniversary of Presleys death on Aug. 16, 1977.
The movie is being produced by 7 Films 7 of Salt Lake City in association with Matthew Reese Films of Orem. The producers of the film are Diamond, Joshua Pearson and Kels Goodman. Reese is the executive producer.
The background story goes like this:The Book of Mormon was given to the LDS Church by members of the Osmond family, who received it from a woman named Cricket Butler, according to Diamond. Butler, a friend of Elvis, gave the Book of Mormon to him in the months preceding his death. The book was subsequently returned to Butler by Elvis father, Vernon, two days after Elvis death.
"She sat in on the missionary discussions at Graceland and knows the date Elvis was to be baptized, which never came to pass due to Elvis death," Diamond said.
That baptism date will be revealed in a separate documentary being produced by 7 Films 7, to be released at the same time as the feature film. It will also feature interviews with Alan Osmond and other friends, fans and missionaries sharing their experiences with Elvis.
Elvis is being portrayed in the new theatrical movie by actor Matt Lewis, who bears a strong physical resemblance to him.
Lewis even sings several songs in the film, and visitors to the movie set have found it hard to distinguish Lewis singing voice from actual Elvis recordings, according to Robert Starling, associate producer of the movie.
The first few days of shooting were completed in a replica of Presleys bedroom that was created from floor plans and photos of the original at Graceland, which has been sealed since Elvis death.
"The entire film has been meticulously researched and is authentic down to minute details such as items found on tabletops and shelves in the room," Starling said.Warum wird hier eine verstorbene Berühmtheit genommen, um die LDS in ein positives Licht zu rücken. Angeblich stand sein Taufdatum fest,jedoch starb er vorher. Werden so nicht legenden für die breite (mormonische) Masse gebildet, um die "Göttlichkeit der LDS zu legetimieren?
