So I was reading something on TNR, and there was an ad on top for a film with the guy who played Reed Richards in Fantastic Four, and he was all dressed up in 19th century (or 18th century) English garb, so I clicked on it, having both a soft spot for period pieces and extremely handsome men with gorgeous cheekbones.
And I found this. It’s a movie about the man who ended the English slave trade, and looks, well, phenomenal. Just put it on my must-see list.
I have no interest whatsoever in the origin of the song, which is apparently also part of the film.
Don’t expect much from the website. It doesn’t seem to be working properly once you get off the main page. But the trailer is, well, amazing.
I love the story of John Newton and “Amazing Grace.” Thanks for telling about the film. I have to see it, too!
