People Talk about Michael Landon, Jr.

Michael Landon, Jr., on the setYou can tell a lot about a person by the things others say about them. Recently, in preparation for an interview with Michael Landon, Jr. (right), I watched behind the scenes footage from The Last Sin Eater. Here are some of the things his actors said about him as a director.

He knows exactly what he wants, which is ideal in a director.

  • Stewart Finlay-McLennan (Brogan Kai) - He’s a hands-off director and comes in when needed.
  • Henry Thomas (Man of God) - He has the best qualities in a director. He knows exactly what he wants and expects of actors in a scene and shot. He communicates very articulately and there’s no doubt left in the actor’s mind what he’s expecting. He has been an actor and can relate to what we’re going through.
  • Louise Fletcher (Miz Elda) - He’s sweet and easygoing. He knows exactly what he wants, which is ideal in a director.
  • Peter Wingfield (The Sin Eater) - He sets the tone. He’s very calm and relaxed, and clear on what he’s looking for. Michael gave me one note today, just one, and that is the reason that I’m any good in this scene. He’s a great director. Most of the time he keeps his mouth shut and lets us do our thing, then gives us feedback on what we’re doing.

What are people saying about you?

Keep an eye on our Movie News section for his interview.

    Michael Landon, Jr. is a truly fantastic director. I have loved his films since the Love Series. One of his most recent films just came out on DVD, Saving Sarah Cain and it’s fantastic. I didn’t get a chance to see it when it was Lifetime but it was worth the wait.

    Saving Sarah Cain is now out on DVD. You can get it right here at ChristianCinema.com.

    He also has a book he’s written with Tracie Peterson coming out.

    I’m a French Christian new producer and I’m looking for email contact of Michael Landon or his company Believe Pictures. The email “info@ibelievepictures.com” doesn’t seems to work. Thank you very much for your help.

    Patrick

  5. Angela Walker says:

    Patrick,

    I’ll see what I can do about your request.

    We are planning to do a public showing in our church in Belgium of “The Last Sin Eater” but aren’t able to contact the right people in Europe to be able to pay the public display rights. Fox Faith has no division in Europe, neither does as far as I know Ibelievepictures. Any chance you could help me to the email adres of Michael Landon Jr. (as already mentioned the info@ibelievepictures.com doesn’t work !)

    I hope to get it fast since the showing is coming close !

    Permission from the film house is always possible and would enable us to reach unbelievers with the movie …

    I am also looking for an e-mail address to Michael Landon Jr. or his film company, would you happen to know it?

    I am from Sydney Australia and have just discovered the Love Comes Softly series on DVD and am blown away. Would love Michael Landon Junior’s email address too. Would love to know why Willie was killed off, just devastating what a great actor and great talent. Does anyone know what Logan Bartholomew is doing now? Am looking forward to the rest of the DVD’s- have not seen series 6 yet. God bless whoever answers me.
    Thank you

    Love’s Unfolding Dream comes out today and I can’t wait. I know that I’ll be curled up in front of the tube with a big bowl of popcorn cheering Belinda on! :-)

    Janette Oke and Michael Landon, Jr. are wonderful. Some people are upset because the films vary from the books but they are still wonderful.

  10. Angela Walker says:

    Hi Mary - Probably the best way to contact Michael is through the production company Believe Pictures. There is a “contact us” link on the site.

    #6 in the series comes out today! Happy watching!

    I have watched several movies of Michael Landon Jr., and have loved every one of them. I would like to see if he would look over my book that I have writen that is based in the same time frame that his movies are. It is a great book and I feel he might be interested in reading it. How would I be able to reach him or his company so I may get a chance to talk to him are someone in charge that might can help me.

    Thank You,
    LARRY MCCOLLUM

  13. Angela Walker says:

    Larry,

    You should be able to reach Michael through his production company Believe Pictures. When you go into the site, there is an “About Us” link, that leads to a “Contact Us” tab, which gives you an option to email the company.

    I am also trying to get through to Michael Ladon Jr. I have music that I have written that he needs to hear. I believe this music is meant for one of his films. God just keep laying this on my heart. I keep seeking to get in touch with Mr. Landon.
    Please, Please help me get this music to him. I’ve been working on this all my life.

    I have tried the Believe Pictures email and I get blocked. I’ll keep trying. Could you or someone forward this email to him?

    Thank you so much and God Bless.
