Anyone interested can copy my signature and add it to theirs, too.
Also check with you local pro-life committee and diocese to see if they are renting out a theater to show it.

Oh No!!! Now I see El Paso moved to November 9th. I am committed to a convention, (our club is hosting a state convention,
so not easy to get out of duties) The convention opens on, yes,
the 9th of November. AND many of those who are helping were
planning to go to the opening to impress them with numbers.
Okay another challenge. I’m going to also speak to my pre-born
grandsons (twins) and tell them to stay put till at least after the
11th of Nov. so I can go help their mommy when they’re born…
No matter that even though they’re not due until Nov., mommy is
already on restricted activities. This is going to be a serious
Grandma to Grandsons talk…

Most theaters are running it on a normal schedule for 1 week and will extend it after that based on sales. So you should be able to fit it in the first three days it it out in one of the time slots. The grandkids need a serious talking to, though.

I was told that it is opening in Australia in the beginning of November, so I would expect it would open in Canada by then as well. Their theater page only has US venues. You can try to contact them.

The producer from “Bella” was just on Life on the Rock this evening. What a truly amazing story. The producer talked about the miracles that occurred on the set and the miracles that have occurred as a result of this movie (unborn babies being saved, reconciliations…). The producer and his wife have a very deep devotion to St. Philomena. The movie was consecrated to St. Philomena and Our Lady of Guadalupe. The producer talked about the main actor who he would find sleeping near the Tabernacle in the Blessed Sacrament Chapel at night. It was wonderful to hear and see their expressions of their Catholic faith.
I had never even heard of this movie until this evening. It sounds and looks like a beautiful love story. The producer is asking everyone to go out and see the movie when it opens on October 26 to send a message to Hollywood that these are the types of films we want, not the dark, immoral films currently produced by Hollywood. If they get a great turnout, then the movie will be picked up by more theaters. The producer is also asking for people to start a novena today for the success of the movie. bellathemovie.com/

I am watching LOTR now. While I heard from the producers at
the pre screening, I haven’t heard the …“rest of the story.”
Sorry, couldn’t resist, but I can’t get enough info on the movie and
the 5 Amigos.
Today I promoted it at two meetings I had and tonight I’m going to
start the novena.

Yeah my wife and I have a Bible Study (actually we’re studying the Catechism of Trent right now) with 3 other married couples each Friday and I think I’m going to propose tonight that we take next week off from the study and go see the movie together.
I’m also trying to get my family to go.

Absolutely, “Bella” needs the first weekend to be absolutely
stunning with sales. Wouldn’t it be wonderful if it was the
#1 in ticket sales? On another thread, we started a novena
that ends on Oct.26, the first opening in the majority of the
markets, the next opening is on Nov.9.
I’ve also been trying to get the word out wherever I go. My
next meeting in on the 25th and I’m going to have posters
from the www.bellaresources.com to pass around. Also
at church.

Advance screening of ‘Bella’ is Monday
Web Posted: 10/19/2007 12:40 PM CDT
San Antonio Express-News
An acclaimed independent film with an anti-abortion message screens at the Santikos Palladium at 7 p.m. Monday.
The advance screening of “Bella” — which stars Mexican-born actor Eduardo Verástegui and opens on Friday — is free. Passes will be available on a first-come, first-serve basis at the Palladium beginning at 6 p.m. Monday.
A question-and-answer session with director Alejandro Monteverde, actress Ali Landry and producer Sean Wolfington is planned.
Verástegui, 33, sometimes called the “Brad Pitt of Mexico,” also is expected to attend the screening.
“Bella,” which won the People’s Choice Award at the 2006 Toronto International Film Festival, is about an extraordinary day in the lives of a former soccer star who’s now cooking at a Mexican restaurant and a waitress at the restaurant who’s just learned that she is pregnant.
“Bella” debuted locally at the Charline McCombs Empire Theater in June.

My husband and I were in the car the other day and heard an interview on EWTN radio with the remarkable producer of this movie, a very, very devout Catholic and a producer who is determined to “make movies that matter and have the potential to make a meaningful difference in people’s lives.”
His new movie, Bella, was the winner of the Toronto Film Festival and is supposed to be the best pro-life movie ever made. The producers really need our support promoting this movie and encouraging people to attend the theatres and see it. (His wish is that it sells out opening weekend so that other theatres are encouraged to show the movie.) Like Mel Gibson’s, The Passion, this movie needs to do well so that we can send a message to Hollywood that movies like this can be made, are what we want to see, and will be successful.
The producers in the interview said that they have already received
letters from women who saw this movie and decided NOT to get an abortion --any movie that can save one life is worth seeing and
promoting in my opinion.
Here’s the website so that you can find out what theatres in your area are showing this movie:
bellathemovie.com/site/#
and for more information on the movie’s pro-life message:
