SHHH!
by Winsip Custer CPW News Service
Brother Gabriel, of the Abbey of Gethsemani in Bardstown, Kentucky, has been discovered. His book and movie script titled simply SHHHH! has been picked up by Touchstone Pictures for what is reportedly a six figure price tag that has the brothers of Gethsemani planning a new grape orchard and goat herd.
Phone calls to the monastery were not accepted thought unlike some monks who adhere to strict rules of silence, their rule of silence restricts only idle conversation. We have yet to find Brother Gabriel's email address, but sources close to the monastery say that one of the monks who was just given permission to live a hermits life in Thomas Merton's old cabin, will occassionally provide three word sentences to outsiders if absolutely necessary.
Julia Robert's, on the other hand, was very vocal about her new, predominantly silent, movie which she said she is trying to title, based on the success of her latest film Eat, Pray, Love as simply SHHH! SHHH! SHHH!.
This reporter braved a cold January evening at Abbey of Gethsemani to find Brother Sebastian alone at Merton's cabin. I asked him for confirmation of the Robert's statement about the title of her upcoming film which he gladly provided with three words....."Shhh! Shhh! Shhh!
