‘The Bible Code’ being cracked in the Namib

A MYSTERIOUS code that reveals the destiny of mankind and the end of the world will be cracked in the rocky valleys of the Namib’s Moon Landscape within the next two weeks.

This is where the adventure has taken Johanna Bachman and Simon – the leading characters played by award-winning European actress Cosma Shiva Hagen of Germany and Frenchman Olivier Sitruk – to find the ancient key that will unlock the mysteries hidden in the Bible code, with the hope of saving mankind. The weathered rock faces near Goanikontes in the Moon Landscape will for the next two weeks be the setting where the finale of the German TV channel Pro-Seven’s movie ‘Der Bibelcode’ (‘The Bible Code’) is being filmed.The set depicts an isolated village in Palestine, where Johanna (a young policewoman) and Simon (a religious scientist) have come to find the key to crack the Bible Code.Though the future of the planet depends on the two adventurers, a dark force led by Kardinal Rhades (British actor James Faulkner), also wants to possess the key.Rhades wants to have Pope Innocence V (played by Joachim Fuchsberger) murdered, resulting in the collapse of the Catholic Church and the takeover of the world by evil.Conspiracy, mystery, adventure and action are the ingredients of this television movie.Raphael Scriba of the Namibian film production company, Power and Glory Films, told The Namibian that ‘The Bible Code’ will be screened as early as beginning of next year.He said Namibians will be able to enjoy it on the Deukom satellite service.He said the entire production has taken about three months.Production has been going on in Rome (Italy), Munich (Germany), Steiermark (Austria) and Avignon (France).”This is an international production, and that is why we also have an international cast, with the main actors from Germany, France and England,” Scriba said.”The film will enjoy an international audience, and will be shown with subtitles in various languages,” Scriba said.There are many Namibians playing as extras in the film, he said.The film is based on the controversial bestseller ‘The Bible Code’ by Michael Drosnin, published in 1997.In the book, Drosnin speculates about messages encoded in the Hebrew Bible, the Torah.Based on this ‘code’, Drosnin makes numerous predictions about the future of humanity.The weathered rock faces near Goanikontes in the Moon Landscape will for the next two weeks be the setting where the finale of the German TV channel Pro-Seven’s movie ‘Der Bibelcode’ (‘The Bible Code’) is being filmed.The set depicts an isolated village in Palestine, where Johanna (a young policewoman) and Simon (a religious scientist) have come to find the key to crack the Bible Code.Though the future of the planet depends on the two adventurers, a dark force led by Kardinal Rhades (British actor James Faulkner), also wants to possess the key.Rhades wants to have Pope Innocence V (played by Joachim Fuchsberger) murdered, resulting in the collapse of the Catholic Church and the takeover of the world by evil.Conspiracy, mystery, adventure and action are the ingredients of this television movie.Raphael Scriba of the Namibian film production company, Power and Glory Films, told The Namibian that ‘The Bible Code’ will be screened as early as beginning of next year.He said Namibians will be able to enjoy it on the Deukom satellite service.He said the entire production has taken about three months.Production has been going on in Rome (Italy), Munich (Germany), Steiermark (Austria) and Avignon (France).”This is an international production, and that is why we also have an international cast, with the main actors from Germany, France and England,” Scriba said.”The film will enjoy an international audience, and will be shown with subtitles in various languages,” Scriba said.There are many Namibians playing as extras in the film, he said.The film is based on the controversial bestseller ‘The Bible Code’ by Michael Drosnin, published in 1997.In the book, Drosnin speculates about messages encoded in the Hebrew Bible, the Torah.Based on this ‘code’, Drosnin makes numerous predictions about the future of humanity.
