Well according to that greatest of movie news web-sites, Corona Coming Attractions, there was a This Present Darkness film in the works, but it's been dead for some time. That may or may not be the one your dad was referring to.

I personally have mixed feelings about Peretti's writing-- it's definitely good story telling, but some of his theology is a bit sketchy. (Ethnicly diverse angels? What's up with that?)

But I agree that either 'Darkness' or 'Oath' (I liked The Oath better than This Present Darkness) would make cool movies-- *if* and only if Hollywood can refrain from chopping it up and watering it down into some goofy Humanistic rubbish.

M"in other words, the film doesn't stand a chance :-)"el
