"Predictions that became real"

Shouldn't this be removed, or phrased as a possibility? This wording indicates that this is a FACT. Quase 07:06, 12 November 2006 (UTC)Reply

I changed the word "predictions" as "interpretations of future prophecies". Also, the title "Close predictions" was changed as "Close interpretations". I'm not sure that Nostradamus really can "saw the future", and even in this case he wrote the Propheties in a way that is impossible to call them "predictions". I think to talk about interpretations of Nostradamus' writtings is more neutral (altough we have to admit that is surprising that in the movie Welles talked about an Arabic leader that attacked New York and caused a world war). You can see the article about the French astrologist for more information. ArtRex1

Charlton Heston narration dub?

edit

I heard somewhere this film was redubbed with Charlton Heston dubbing over Orson Welles' narration. Anybody know anything about this? --Ragemanchoo (talk) 19:22, 5 January 2008 (UTC)Reply

Perhaps so, in a later television version that updated the work from 1991, according to these notes here and this review as well as this imdb page of alternate versions. I'm not sure if the version of the movie uploaded to google video is that same version. I thought I heard his voice there at some point but i'm less sure. - Owlmonkey (talk) 23:20, 10 April 2009 (UTC)Reply

1979 Version

edit

Much of the Welles version uses footage from a 1979 Australian documentary, "The Prophecies of Nostradamus," presented by John Waters (not that John Waters). Even much of the dialogue is verbatim. Might be worth noting that this is the original version, the Welles version the second one, and the Heston one the third. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6Ka3NsIgVBY — Preceding unsigned comment added by 73.39.49.112 (talk) 16:38, 15 February 2022 (UTC)Reply
