[edit] History
According to Resurrection Pictures, "Resurrection Pictures’ original film project, Genesis, has been in the works for a while and has taken many different twists and turns."[3]
In 2009, Resurrection Pictures announced plans to produce Creation, its first original film project, which was "a biopic that dramatizes the life of Kent “Dr. Dino” Hovind."[4] The movie's script was written by Kevin Miller, the writer of Expelled: No Intelligence Allowed, and was "scheduled for production in 2010."[5] The organization was asking for tens of thousands of dollars to begin production.
In 2010, the film was not produced, but instead the film was renamed Dr. Dino: Where Creation and Evolution Collide and Resurrection Pictures claimed "it is scheduled for production in 2011."[6] Of course, the website asked for money to make it. It also posted part of the script.[7] In February 2010, Resurrection Pictures wrote: "We are so excited about this film and are looking to release it in theaters in 2011".[8]
In 2012 and 2013, it was renamed three times, Genesis: Where Creation and Evolution Collide[9], Genesis: Where Creation Comes Alive[10] and then Genesis 3D.[11]
Sometime around 2013, Hovind's Creation Today became involved producing the movie, and was given promotion from Christian media.[12] Hovind asked people for $275 for 1 second, $8,250 for 30 seconds and $16,500 for one minute of the movie at his website.[13] So far, Hovind has had three Indiegogo campaigns. The first was in October 2013 when Hovind brought in $272,359, promising a "mid 2014" finish date.[14] By mid 2014, the movie was not completed. Rather, Hovind has asked for another $800,000. A second campaign earned more than $300,000.[15] In June 2014, Hovind asked for $500,000.[16]
In September 2014, Hovind announced he was delaying the movie for about a year and asked supporters for more money, writing: "While we do have a set goal of completing the film in a little under a year, we’re also raising more funds to add more CG to the film, so our release date is like a moving target."[17]
[edit] Evolution of Genesis over the years
In 2009, the summary was as follows:
“”Resurrection Pictures is currently in the script preparation phase of its story about a high school biology teacher who decides to begin telling the truth to his students about where we came from and what follows in the often funny and tearful story of one man's struggle to stand up for the truth.[18]
|
In 2012, the summary was as follows:
“”Resurrection Pictures’ original film project, is a reworking of our Dr. Dino project. An entertaining movie based on the argument of Creation vs. Evolution that is currently in production.[19]
|
As of 2013, the movie summary is:
“”Genesis 3D Movie is a feature-legnth documentary film based on the first book of the Bible, featuring stunning 3D visual effects accompanied with expert scientific research![20]
