Lights! Camera! Jesus! How Christians Are Building Their Own Hollywood
Posted: 10/02/2014 8:00 pm EDT Updated: 1 hour ago


Christian filmmakers are now a force to be reckoned with, and they hope to reach beyond their religious fans to a larger, less devout audience. (Illustration: Troy Dunham/The Huffington Post)

“I HAVE NO SPOILERS, NO FLAPS, NO ELEVATORS AND IF I RUN THIS THING DRY, NO REVERSE THRUST!!!"

Nicolas Cage, panicked and bug-eyed, is once again fighting to avert disaster on the big screen, this time as airline pilot Rayford Steele. Fire spews out of a gash in the plane's wing; a chisel-jawed young man attempts to subdue an unruly mob of passengers as a blonde flight attendant is tossed about in her seat. On the ground, cars crash, explosions rock the sky and civilization is engulfed in a wave of panic and anarchy.

"Looks like the end of the world," a man remarks.

What it looks like is typical Hollywood apocalypse porn in the vein of "Deep Impact," "The Day After Tomorrow" or "2012." In this case, however, the end-times event isn't a giant asteroid, catastrophic climate change or a Mayan prophecy come true, but the Rapture, with non-believers abandoned to fend for themselves after Christ's true followers are beamed up to heaven. Based on the series of books by the same name, which were written by Tim LaHaye and Jerry B. Jenkins and have sold over 65 million copies since 1995, "Left Behind" delivers all the titillation and destruction we've come to expect from a Hollywood blockbuster.

1. I have only one issue with this

Unlike most movies I plan to never see, THESE will soon pushed on unsuspecting children in schools.

5. Perhaps in private schools, but I think there would be legal issues in public schools.

2. I just have to ask this

Would it be called "Holywood" ? Some days you just can't resist the obvious joke.. Back to the discussion..

3. 1 percenters will exploit anyone. Even the "Christians"

Corporations simply use whatever a group believes in, to make a profit.

Manipulating & herding of a group of people, to create profit.

Like a Chisolm Trail cattle drive.

How the world works anymore.

7. Agree. They have been exploiting the conservative christians in this

country for a long time now. I'm waiting, with fingers crossed, for the backlash.

[misterhighwasted]

10. Wonder when the god will let them know they've been 'had'?

[cbayer]

13. I believe in karma in a very soft conceptual way,

but I do not think they will be rewarded for this behavior.

[trotsky]

12. "I'm waiting, with fingers crossed, for the backlash."

Well that's bound to help.

[AtheistCrusader]

9. 3% on rotten tomatoes.

Hahaha 'A-lister Nicolas Cage'


BAAAAAHAHAHAA

[misterhighwasted]

11. Haaa really..that's a stretch.

Nic Cage:
Wasted all those years being an "actor", when he could have been one heck of a decent sign spinner.

[AtheistCrusader]

14. Matchstick Men was pretty good.

The rest of his movie list on IMDB pretty much reads as a list of shit I wish I'd never seen.

[Gelliebeans]

16. Wasn't valley girl his first movie

Helps to get into movies when your uncle is Francis Ford Coppola....

[misterhighwasted]

17. Oh like yes!! Valely Girl. Nick Cage was destined to be a teen hearthrob

NOT

[yeoman6987]

15. This is hilarious

Seriously. Most would not even hear of the movie if liberals were discussing it. It is likely to make 6 million overall. I hardly think Christians are taking over Hollywood or even making their own. This is almost the equivalent of taking their guns away that conservatives fret about. Both are nonsense.

[okasha]

18. So the Rapture shorts out the grid?

St. Michael is shooting down planes with Hellfire missles? ¿Que?
