He Wants To Be in Pictures...
I recieved some info. from the production of the movie that
Kevin Max will have a role in. It had some valuable information.
The working title is "Soupernatural," it is set to film in
Cleveland Ohio, in the year 2000, and will also star KRISTEN
WILLITS(Cher), LOU FERRIGNO(The Incredible Hulk), MARK GODDARD(Lost
In Space), PAMELA SUE MARTIN(Dynasty), PAT PRIEST & BUTCH
PATRICK(The Munsters), RONNIE SCHELL(Gomer Pyle), and PAUL
PETERSEN(The Donna Reed Show). The plot is as follows: SOUPERNATURALis
the story of how a local small town newsroom reacts to what
may be an appearance of The Messiah and how Kelly, a female
field reporter and the people around her are affected. The
story depicts how the media glamorizes and sensationalizes
the news. Is it okay to exploit the President, or the War,
or OJ? Maybe, maybe not...but when it comes to The Messiah,
this is one story the media should leave alone. Of course,
this is the one story they would never leave alone...this
makes a disturbing point. We watch the events of this occurrence
unfold through Kelly’s eyes. Through this experience, she
will explore her values, what she believes in, her vulnerability,
her self doubt, how she feels and how it all changes. I'll
post more information as I get it.

Have You Heard?
Well, if you've been alive for the past couple weeks(and maybe

around the internet like bonfire. They range from dc Talk
is disbanding, to Kevin is leaving. Well, I am here to tell
you that the official word is that dc Talk is
still together. They have no more shows planned for this year,
but they are still together. Kevin is working on some solo
projects, while Toby and Mike promote the Jesus Freaks book.
Expect Kevin's book to come out on his website this December(perfect
Christmas present for all you K-Max fans). For a small article
released by a radio station on the rumors, check out: http://christianhitradio.com/afterhours/ah_music.html.
