Gibran’s ‘The Prophet’ to hit the big screen

Share:

In an inter­na­tional work of col­lab­o­ra­tion, pro­duc­ers Salma Hayek, Clark Peter­son and Ron Senkowski are being pre-production on an ani­mated screen adap­tion of Khalil (Kahlil) Gibran’s “The Prophet.” Eas­ily the poet’s most famous work, each of the chap­ters in the work will be directed by a dif­fer­ent, respected ani­ma­tion direc­tor from around the world.

Among the dis­tin­guished direc­tors com­mit­ted to the project are Mar­jane Satrapi (Perse­po­lis), Chris Lan­dreth (“Ryan”), Tomm Moore (The Secret of Kells), Nina Paley (Sita Sings the Blues), Mohammed Saeed Harib (“Freej”), Joan Gratz (Oscar win­ner for Mona Lisa Descend­ing a Stair­case), Michal Socha, Francesco Testa and Bill Plymp­ton (How To Kiss and The Cow Who Wanted To Be A Ham­burger). The ani­mated chap­ters will be joined by The Lion King direc­tor Roger Allers, who is respon­si­ble for the over­all nar­ra­tive flow. Doha Film Insi­ti­tute (DFI) is co-financing along with Par­tic­i­pant Media, MyGroup Lebanon, FFA Pri­vate Bank, JRW Enter­tain­ment and Code Red Productions.

“‘The Prophet’ has been an incred­i­ble source of wis­dom and inspi­ra­tion for mil­lions of peo­ple all over the world. Being of Lebanese descent, I’m par­tic­u­larly proud to be part of a project that will present this mas­ter­piece to new gen­er­a­tions, in a way never seen before,” said Hayek.

Sell­ing over 100 mil­lion copies in many lan­guages across the world since its orig­i­nal pub­li­ca­tion in 1923, Gibran’s book is among the top sell­ing books in his­tory. The Prophet is in its 163rd print­ing and has sold over 100 mil­lion copies since its orig­i­nal pub­li­ca­tion in 1923, mak­ing him the third high­est sell­ing poet, just behind Shake­speare and Lao-Tzu.

        sleeping like a baby is also inacurate (babies cry all night)

         no doubt lebanon is a beautifull place geographicaly and  a childhood is a very powerfull thing that was shortlived for most of us.  lebanon and its people have their shortcomings due to wounds and abuses yet i am convinced that many on this forum have a bond and respect for one another even though opinions vary i have built enough faith that i am convinced  that not one of us is capable any more to point a weapon towards another,,,, we have grown and it makes me smile to no end.

          Or, Geo, we have learned who the ones are who would point the gun first. And the line of thought that leads them to that. But I don’t see any wrong in pointed words, when they are necessary to make someone, hopefully, think.
          I agree it has been a good experience, this site … and largely clear of the ‘YouTubeTypeIdiots’ who only get on to insult people … and thus also more serious readers. By which they only show their own mentality.
          It has of course been said that if you have nothing good to say, don’t say anything. Yet the largest reason for the ‘free speech’ being crushed is silence. And viewing a new thought on occasion is a learning experience – especially if trying to understand the reason for the thought.
          Of course, some have thoughts with no reasoning in them … although even then they might, on occasion, come up with a slogan for a T-shirt. 😉

      What is wrong with being proud fanatics. Mun yankor aslahoo, la aslan lahoo. Not sure if you are familiar with this quote.
      We have a lot to be proud of, unlike most other arab countries. We have a unique cuisine that everyone envies even the israelies, we have unique vegetables that are popular around the world, we have the best looking tree in the world, we have the best looking women in the world, we could have the ugliest men in the world, we are more open minded and accepting people, we invented the alphabet (which makes it possible for you to comment on this site), ships and glass. We have the most fertile land in the world with the best hashish in the world. We are very arrogant and most un – united people in the world, but we still love each other. We had Hassan Kamel Al-Sabbah who had 43 patents to his name that allows you to watch TV. We have the best voice in the world through Fairuz, who anyone whether they were arab or not knows her, we have the oldest city in the world (Byblos), one of the many few lands initially mentioned in the bible, we had Bashir Gemayel,  one of the best and honest leaders in the world, etc etc etc. Mr hizb broom, we have a lot to be proud of, and I haven’t even scratched the surface. The Prophet, Gibran is more than enough to put Lebanon ahead of the rest, so if being a proud Lebanese fanatic is wrong, then I never want to be right!!

    The brunette feeels her belly, looks at the red head and says I think I am having a boy, the red head replies..how do you know that.. the brunette says because when we conceived my husband was on top…
    Seconds later, the red head feels her belly, looks at the brunette and says.. in that case, I think I am having a girl..
    Minutes later, the blonde catches on, feels her belly, looks at both of them and says.. oh my God, I think I am having a poppies…

        geo, here is one about 3 pregnant ladies.
        Three pregnant ladies sitting in a doctor’s waiting room. They started  a conversation about their pregnancies. The first woman said that she was having a baby boy. Upon hearing this,one of the two pregnant women  asked her why she thought she was having a boy, she said because when they did it, my husband was on top. The second woman said she was having a  baby girl,when asked how she knew, she said ;when they did it She was on top of her hubby. The third pregnant woman screamed out loud  ; OMG I must be having a puppy,then.

      Well … since we’re on a topic with a lighter side, finally, and everyone is feeling good … here’s another.

      A chicken farmer went to a local bar…. Sat next to a woman and ordered a glass of champagne..
      The woman perks up and says, ‘How about that? I just ordered a glass of champagne,too!’
      What a coincidence’ the chicken farmer says. ‘This is a special day for me.. I am celebrating’
      ‘This is a special day for me too, I am also celebrating!’ says the woman.
      ‘What a coincidence!’ says the chicken farmer! As they clinked glasses the man asked, ‘What are you celebrating?’
      ‘My husband and I have been trying to have a child and today my gynecologist told me that I am pregnant!’
      ‘What a coincidence,’ says the man. ‘I’m a chicken farmer and for years all of my hens were infertile, but today they are all laying fertilized eggs.’
      ‘That’s great!’ says the woman. ‘How did your chickens become fertile?’
      ‘I used a different cock,’ he replied.
      The woman smiled and said, ‘What a coincidence.’

      The woman perks up and says, ‘How about that? I just ordered a glass of champagne,too!’
      What a coincidence’ the chicken farmer says. ‘This is a special day for me.. I am celebrating’
      ‘This is a special day for me too, I am also celebrating!’ says the woman.
      ‘What a coincidence!’ says the chicken farmer! As they clinked glasses the man asked, ‘What are you celebrating?’
      ‘My husband and I have been trying to have a child and today my gynecologist told me that I am pregnant!’
      ‘What a coincidence,’ says the man. ‘I’m a chicken farmer and for years all of my hens were infertile, but today they are all laying fertilized eggs.’
      ‘That’s great!’ says the woman. ‘How did your chickens become fertile?’
      ‘I used a different cock,’ he replied.
      The woman smiled and said, ‘What a coincidence.’

    Do not confuse him with the sculptor, Kahlil Gibran, who died in 2008. This one was at least born in Lebanon.
    The wikipedia is interesting … and I suppose shows again that a romantic OR a techie can do well when not surrounded by constantly warring factions.

    “As a young man he emigrated with his family to the United States where he studied art and began his literary career. He is chiefly known in the English-speaking world for his 1923 book The Prophet, an early example of inspirational fiction including a series of philosophical essays written in poetic English prose. The book sold well despite a cool critical reception, and became extremely popular in the 1960s counterculture.”

    That ‘counterculture’ of short duration which had various slogans such as:
    “Make love, not war.”  and   “Peace and Good, Brotherhood.” … and other silly things like that.

    Abu Al Abed arrives in NY early in the morning and heads straight to his son’s Abed, knocks on the door, his doll daughter in law opens the door naked, she welcomes and invites him in. In the evening he asks Abed what is this all about, Abed replies that is her pyjammas. 
    Every morning, she makes him coffee and brings him the newspaper wearing her pyjamas, this went on for a week. Abu Al Abed calls his wife Um Al Abed and tells her all about it.
    Abu Al Abed heads back home late in the evening and gets into bed. In the morning and as usual, Um Al Abed brings him the coffee and the newspaper but this time naked, Abu Al Abed looks at her and goes, what are you doing, she respondes, I am in my pyjamas, he looks at her and says why don’t you iron it.
