Darin Scott directed, co-wrote and cast himself as the pre-Joseph Smith prophet Moroni from Smith’s “Book of Mormon” in a fourth century tale of white chosen people settling Pre-Colombian America, part of Smith’s 19th century religious text and historical thesis.

Smith “translated” this book from buried golden tablets which no else ever saw and which haven’t turned up since.

Of course, these days one must contend with auto-correct computer programs which rewrite “Moroni” as “moronic” (a couple of times as I type this), signifying…nothing, unless Joseph Smith was having people on and winking about it.

Billy Zane is the big name in the cast.
