Info on new mini-series about John Paul II

Entertainment Tonight has some pictures and video about the CBS mini-series on JPII. For those who haven't heard about this, the series is to be four hours long and stars Cary Elwes [of The Princess Bride] as the young pope and Jon Voigt [of Mission Impossible] as the elder pope.

The video is an interview with Voigt who seems to genuinely respect and honor the Holy Father which gives me courage that the mini-series will at least try to do John Paul II justice. Elwes notes that the spirit and essence of John Paul II was "his love and compassion".
