Elijah Wood will be Saint Gabriel “dell’Addolorata”


By corridor voices in the USA and italian cinematographic and ecclesiastical “palaces”, it seems that the famous actor Elijah Wood ( Frodo, in the Kiwi Peter Jackson “Lord of the Rings” Trilogy) could be favourable to make the roll of Saint Gabriel “dell’Addolorata” (so this great young Saint has known in whole world), in a new great USA-Italy movie production for the big screen. By Zeffirelli, Scorzese or Mel Gibson as director. It’s a secret now.
Saint Gabriel was the young Passionist monk (never done priest because he died, on alone 24 years old in holiness smell, in the Convent of Passionist Fathers at Isola del Gran Sasso, in province of Teramo, Abruzzo Region, Italy, on XIX Century, on 27 february 1862), which true saint life (not agiographic but real, based on a great Italian historial of Montorio Al Vomano City, in Abruzzo Region) is whole unknown, by faithmen and not, in the world today.
Young Italian passionist monk life, infact, was much braided to risorgimental stories of our italian national history of Indipendence in XIX Century. By the reason
Elijah Wood has decide to enter in new great cast (with the beauty Liv Tyler / Arwen), many critics suppose the LOTR world social impact in Roman Italian Catholic Church too.

Yes, not that my knowing him changes anything. He's a superb cinematographer but not exactly well-known outside italian cinema. He must be like... 90 now?

Excuse me but...
Gianni Di Venanzo borns on 18 december 1920 in Teramo, my city in Abruzzo Region (Italy, near The Big Stone Mountain) and dies on 3 february 1966 during "Masquerade" work, Joseph L. Mankiewicz movie. By this movie Gianni Di Venanzo could be very very important at Hollywood...We have done, in Teramo, the first International Director Of Photogtaphy "Gianni Di Venanzo" Award, every year on October/November.
Hello!

The "Elijah Wood will be Saint Gabriel dell’Addolorata" news has been published on "Nuovo Abruzzo Oggi", regional newspaper of Abruzzo Region, Italy. It is not a rumor.

Natalie Portman and Elija Wood (as Francesco Possenti' s, Gabriel, sister), in this new "Gabriel" movie? What do you think about it?

Is that a fact or you are you suggesting she play the role?

I think if someone is going to do a film like this there shouldn't be too many big names. I like what Mel Gibson did with the Passion. Because he didn't use big Hollywood names the film seemed more realistic and less....Hollywood.
