Who would have thought that these words spoken by San José María Escrivá de Balaguer last forty Chile years were to cause a famous film director make a blockbuster film about her figure and teachings. We have known from the interview published this week Zenit News Agency (See here Part 1 and Part 2 complete) with Roland Joffé that this year 2011 debut " There Be Dragons " the film inspired by the founder of Opus Dei .

He brought several books and materials, including a DVD on Josemaría. We had a meal very, very nice and, returning home on foot, thinking: " I have no desire to make this film.
