Update on www.twaineddy film.com

MANY ARE AWARE that Val Kilmer is working on a motion picture about Mark Twain and Mary Baker Eddy. Spirituality.com recently hosted a 90-minute chat with Val about his film, and the Christian Science Sentinel published an interview with him December 14, 2009. In February, Val performed excerpts from his script at The Mary Baker Eddy Library, and he will be returning to the Library again as part of a centennial celebration of Mrs. Eddy's legacy on September 23, 2010.

While Val is a member of The First Church of Christ, Scientist, his film is not a production of the Church. Rather, it is an independent work that is being produced and financed privately. However, any significant public statemtn about Mary Baker Eddy's life will be of interest to many people worldwide. For this reason, the Sentinel will continue to provide upto-date information about this and other new biographical works about Mrs. Eddy.

Since The Mary Baker Eddy Library opened in 2002, there has been a growing interest in Mrs. Eddy's life among writers, scholars, playwrights, and filmmakers. High-quality articles, books, plays, and films about Mary Baker Eddy may well come forward in the future. As this happens, it will be natural to nurture these efforts and for the Church and The Mary Baker Eddy Library to develop productive relationships with today's writers, directors, and producers.
