From Ellen: How Josh Lucas celebrated his 30th birthday on the set of 'A Beautiful Mind' http://www.ew.com/article/2015/09/17/josh-lucas-greatest-story-ever-told … via @EW

From Jo, who writes fiction about Russell's characters at Libris Crowe:  "...One of my favorites to write about is Ben Wade. I'm going to give you a link to one of my short stories about Ben Wade called The Hand of God, but with the full double meaning carried in that.  It starts 2 days after he gets off the train and during the course of it he meets a woman who, unknown to him for a while, was a nun back East. The whole purpose of the story is to explore his dawning awareness of who she is and what that means to him in relation to who he is. It's how Ben comes to a point of self-sacrifice that's a fulfillment of his journey in the movie.  I love Russell's movies and the pictures and the stories are my ways of honoring his craft." http://libriscrowe.com/jo/handofgod1.htm
