This year is shaping up to be the year of the faith film, as Hollywood releases a variety of religious-themed movies with hopes of attracting believers and appealing to secular audiences.
“This year, in a sense, is a test of the genre,” said Paul Dergarabedian, senior media analyst at Rentrak, which measures television and movie viewing statistics. “This year is going to decide, determine, the fate of the faith-based movie. I think it’s the last untapped genre to go mainstream.”

ReplyDeleteGod's not dead, He's surely alive
ReplyDeleteWhat religions?
ReplyDeleteKEY.
God's Not Dead is a great movie...truly the best of them all. Noah however, was pretty weird...sorry I wasted my money on that one.
ReplyDeleteDarren Aronofsky purposely made his film "Noah" an anti religion pro global warming piece of crap that doesn't even mention the word "God" at all. it is a hit piece by a liberal atheist blaming everything on mans impact on the environment . Bait and switch.
ReplyDeleteNot really surprised. 75% of this country self identifies as Christian. The movie doesn't even have to be good and it will do well, as long as the evangelicals get excited about it.
ReplyDeleteThe Passion of the Christ. Perfect example. Not a good movie, it was essentially torture porn. But people ate that mess up.
The irony of it all is that Hollywood doesn't really care about the "faith" or the "message", it's all about a new market to tap into and new profits to be made.
