[Regarding a Left Behind remake]
I find it sad and kind of disturbing that Cloud Ten Pictures, who have traditionally been known for making "spiritual" if not fully outright Christian films has 1) decided to reboot a perfectly fine trilogy and 2) made really suspect casting choices, if the rumors are to be believed. I find it hard to believe that the moral and ethical integrity, as well as the doctrinally sound principles portrayed in the books, and to a lesser extent the original movies, will be preserved when you have such a notorious "Hollywood type" in the main role. I don't dispute Nic Cage's acting ability, I absolutely love his performance in the National Treasure movies. What I dispute is his moral standpoint, and his willingness to portray a character that in his original state in the books is a 100% committed and conservative Christian, who is willing to die for his faith. That sounds like the exact opposite of how Nic Cage would live his life. I think that something is going to have to give somewhere, either in the Lalonde brothers' script, or in Nic Cage. I hope the latter, because the books have a message that the world needs to hear. For right now, I'm hoping that this is all just rumor, and it's not real, but if it is, I pray that God will bestow wisdom upon the Lalonde brothers, and help them to be a good and positive witness for Christ to these lost souls that they have cast in their movie.
