Kent Hovind: The Movie (I'm not kidding)
Kevin Miller, one of the writers of Expelled: No Intelligence Allowed, has penned a new movie and its scheduled for production next year:

Now he's in prison for refusing to pay taxes and obstructing federal agencies. Really, what does it say for the intelligent design movement/creationists when Hovind is one of your leaders? If you haven't read a description of Hovind's "dissertation" it's a must read here. The man can't even define evolution:

You forgot the classic, Kent Hovind on the Ali G show.
(Ali G is better known these days, I guess, as Borat and Bruno).

Thanks for the heads up, Questioninggeller.
I found the vids quite interesting viewing and am looking forward to seeing the progress the film actually makes. IF the film is made and distributed, I'll go see it if Ali G is cast as mr Hovind. |

I really hope this news of a movie about "Dr." Hovind is a rumour.

A much better movie would be an Inglorious Bastards-style re-imaging of his life. For those of us who had to deal with the drivel of the Hovindites back before he was imprisoned (AiG ran away screaming from Hovind, which always impressed me - if your sheer insanity has scared THEM off, what the hells).

It could be a two parter.
Evolution wars! The Internal Revenue service strikes back! No need for part 3, unless we just want to watch him sit in jail for ten years. |

The last time this production company made a movie, it was surrounded in tight secrecy.
I wouldn't expect to find much information about it right now, if in fact, they are going to make it afterall. |

Whoa, they made a movie call One Night with the King and haven't paid me a cent in royalties.
I would rather like a Kent Hovind (I refuse to offer him the "Dr" title, it soils actual Doctors) sit in jail kind of webcam. I could check in on him and giggle a little. You know, a little pick-me-up now and again. |

Script
It appears the movie's title has changed. According to the production's website, the movie is called: "Dr Dino: Where Creation and Evolution Collide.” It is still called "Creation" at the bottom here, but the website now says:

I notice they are asking for donations to make the movie and "spread the word of jesus christ"
It must be nice to be able to make a movie without having to put up the money. Think about it... they will pocket any profit made from it. Perhaps it is time for me to change careers.... I have always wanted to make a documentary about christian homeschooling, anyone wish to pay for me to make it? |

Dude...
I was in Pensacola not long ago (I grew up there) and came out of a model shop to find myself staring at a really swank life-sized statue of a Triceratops across the street. I was suitably impressed, until I realized that it probably belong to the Creation Store behind it, which I think it run by Hovind's son. That made me almost as mad as when I saw the gun range down the street had become a quilting store. I don't go down W Street anymore when I'm up there... |

They actually did something with that gun range? That place was empty FOREVER.
I've been back to the old homestead a few times in the last couple of months, but didn't make it over to W street at any point either. I remember feeling absolutely mortified when I found out that "Dr" Dino was from my home town. ![]() |

I actually knew a guy who tried to buy it and re-open it, but in a bit of syncronicity with Hovind, the owner of Gun Connection hadn't bothered to pay his taxes either, and there was a 2 million dollar lien on the property.
I guess the IRS either dropped the lien or auctioned the property, because now it is the World of Quilting. *cough*

Kent Hovind: The Movie (I'm not kidding)
Few have brought Dr. Dino's tax matters up to date.
Dr. Dino and his each wife have U.S. Tax Court cases pending involving millions of dollars in personal income tax liabilities. Where has there been any reporting on that? Jo Hovind's Tax Court trial was this week in Mobile, AL. It may take several months for the Court to render a decision in the case; after each side files briefs as may be ordered by the Court. In pre-trial activity, Jo Hovind advised the Court that she didn't want her husband's case consolidated with hers and didn't want him involved in her case an making frivolous claims. Jo has a legitimate tax representative while Dr. Dino has hired a "tax protestor" mouthpiece who has been sanctioned by the Court in previous cases. What happened in Jo's trial Wednesday? Who knows? No one reported on it that I can tell. So, it looks like we'll have to wait for information on that. Meanwhile, Dr. Dino's Tax Court trial date has not yet been set; his earlier trial date having been put off. |

Perhaps some discussion of the Tax Court and Dr. Dino's relation to it would be helpful.
Dr. Dino is still in prison for criminal financial dealings. His wife has served her time related thereto and is out. The Tax Court cases involve IRS proposals regarding other matters; their civil, personal income tax liabilities related to their failure to file personal income tax returns and report income for years and years and years; though only a few years appear to be covered in the cases currently pending. The IRS is charged with determining such personal liabilities and issued reports reflecting proposals to the Hovinds. In response thereto, both of the Hovinds filed separate petitions with the Tax Court, alleging the IRS proposals were wrong. As I noted earlier, Jo's trial was in Mobile, AL on Wednesday this week. Dr. Dino's is pending. Both appear to involve the same liabilities; the big dispute appears to be over how big the deficiencies in tax and penalties and which one of them is going to held liable for how much of it. As I suggested before, I have been quite frustrated that there has been no media or other attention to these developments; except for my "crying in the wilderness" over it. I would certainly like to see some media attention and informed commentary from those better at this game than I am. |

He is. Hovind is currently incarcerated in a federal prison in Jesup, Georgia.
http://www.bop.gov/iloc2/InmateFinde...Age=&x=19&y=12 He's been shifted from prison to prison. He currently resides about 65 miles from where I live now. Weirdly, when he was at the federal lockup in Edgefield, S.C., I worked at a hotel about 15 miles down the road. ![]() |
