Hollywood Gets a Clue
The powers that be in Hollywood are apparently beginning to recognize the value of producing family- and church-friendly films. Check out the story. It’s encouraging.
Upcoming movies that major studios are actively promoting directly to church groups include
- The Greatest Game Ever Played
- The Thing About My Folks
- The Exorcism of Emily Rose
- The Chronicles of Narnia: The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe, the subject of this post
Bravo to Disney, Sony Pictures, PictureHouse, and Twentieth Century Fox, which is reportedly optioning some Christian best sellers by Bishop T.D. Jakes and Frank Peretti.
The article suggests that this move by some major studios is directly attributable to the blockbuster success of Mel Gibson’s The Passion of the Christ.
I’ve posted on this subject before, and I think this is really good news. It also shows the power and effectiveness of turning out for a movie that’s good.
