Hello, all,
My name is Michael Young and I wear so many hats in life that I should probably start millinery (a.k.a. hat shop). Most days I put on my instructional designer hat and develop online world language courses. On Sundays and Thursdays, I put on my choir hat and sing with the Mormon Tabernacle Choir. Every night, I put on my creative hat and work on creative writing projects and music composing projects. I also wear the fatherhood hat--I've got a great wife and two young sons. And that's just getting started.
You can read more about my writing at http://www.writermike.com and my music at http://thesongoftherighteous.wordpress.com.
Did any of you see the “Book of Mormon Movie”? Not the ones put out by the LDS Church. The one that actually went to a few theaters. I think it watches more like a comedy than the drama it purports to be. I’ll never forget when Laman turns to Lemuel after hearing about going into the desert and says “This is an abomination!”

You know what? I think Nephi’s story instead needs to be
made like a superhero movie. Think about it. Nephi-large in statue, a master of
disguise, heart of gold, handy with a bow, he’s practically a superhero. He’s
like Captain America before there was…America.
A superhero movie, however, is only as good as its cast. The
question is, who to cast as the protagonist. Here are a few thoughts:
Chris Hemsworth
Could Thor put down his hammer and pick up a bow? He has
already shown his ability to play big, epic characters and surely passes the
“large in stature requirement”. He doesn’t look very Middle Eastern though.
Jeremy Renner
We already know that this guy knows his way around a bow and
sneaking around cities unobserved. Both things you need in a potential Nephi.
Naveen Andrews
Not only does he better look the part, but he spent most of
his career wandering around in the wilderness in LOST. He also proved he could
both intense and kind, a combination which Nephi would need.
Just a few suggestions. Who would you add to the shortlist?
