Salma Hayek Helps Make The Prophet

Creating Kahlil Gibran adaptationIt was initially released in 1923 and stays among the best-selling books ever, therefore it appears remarkable that nobody has attempted a movie adaptation of Kahlil Gibran's The Prophet before. That's going to change, within an ambitious project being shepherded by Salma Hayek and producers Clark Billings and Ron Senkowski.Gibran's book is really a lengthy-form poem (designed in British, although Gibran generally authored in Arabic), the narrative which sees the prophet Al-Nabi going to attempt an sea voyage, but waylaid on his method to the docks with a succession of people that prompt him into discussions of existence, the world and everything. It is a "spiritual classic", but adaptable to any or all faiths, whether deeply or delicately held, because it does not stick to any sort of religion.Like a film, the program would be to make an animated anthology shipped by multiple company directors. One of the contributing factors are Marjane Satrapi (Persepolis), Tomm Moore (The Key Of Kells), Nina Paley (Sita Sings The Blues), Joan Gratz (Hireling Shepherd Climbing down A Staircase), Mohammed Saeed Harib (Freej) and Bill Plympton (Guard Dog). Each will require an instalment, and also the connecting story is going to be thanks to Roger Allers (The Lion King)."The Prophet continues to be an amazing supply of knowledge and inspiration for huge numbers of people around the globe,Inch states Hayek. "Being of Lebanese descent, I am particularly proud to participate a task which will present this masterpiece to new decades, in ways never witnessed before."Harib states, "This is an immense recognition to have the ability to translate the whole shebang of among the Arab world's most valued authors in to the visual realm. I'm thrilled to become among such esteemed animation company directors designated to create The Prophet towards the giant screen and also to the twenty-first century.InchBefore-production starts later this month.
