Watch the testaments movie movie#
Brother Madsen relates, ".Recently I have been moved deeply by a time on the crowded set of a movie studio. )ĭuring the 1999 BYU Women’s Conference, Truman Madsen shared a moment from the filming of The Testaments. The film was to include a Book of Mormon perspective and the appearance of the Christ to the people in Ancient America. That he is the Son of God and the heart and center of our faith. It would proclaim to the millions who come here-member and non-member alike-that Jesus Christ is He whom we worship. "I was told simply ‘It will be the most important film the church has ever made’. Keith Merrill, the director of the film was asked by President Hinckley to make a film to replace Legacy. Today, March 24, 2000, the Legacy Theater in the Joseph Smith Memorial Building in Salt Lake City, will begin to show a new movie produced by the Church-The Testaments: Of One Fold and One Shepherd. "The Testaments: Of One Fold and One Shepherd." (Here is an article that was written by Barton Golding - when the film first came out in 2000) If you are interested in a CD - it is available for pre-order through Latter-day Light Books You can download the audio through LDS Audio here: LDS Audio It's a powerful addition to the film which is now available on DVD. The fireside is a great companion and powerful testimony about how much the Lord knows each of us individually. You will feel the spirit strongly - and it is a good reminder that the Lord truly is involved in our lives. The fireside is so powerful and uplifting. Tomas also talks about some of the ways the Lord prepared and qualified him to play the role. Both Tomas and Ane Marie share part of their conversion stories and some experiences during the filming. For those of you who have seen and loved The Testaments - a fireside is now available - given by the man who played the role of the Savior in the film - Tomas Kofod and his wife Ane Marie.
