Elizabeth Smart movie, book due
A two-hour CBS television movie about Elizabeth Smart’s nine-month kidnapping ordeal is expected to air in November, her father says.
The story will be told from the viewpoint of her parents, Ed and Lois Smart, who have also signed a book deal about the kidnapping.
Filming is expected to begin in two weeks in Canada.
The Smarts have contracted with Doubleday Books to tell their story in “Bringing Elizabeth Home: A Journey of Faith and Hope.” Her uncles are working on a separate book.
Elizabeth, 15, was abducted from her Salt Lake City bedroom on the night of June 5, 2002. In March, she was found in a Salt Lake suburb with her alleged kidnappers, Brian David Mitchell and his wife, Wanda Barzee.
