https://www.christianpost.com/news/jim-caviezel-chooses-films-to-bring-most-souls-to-christ-after-heartbreaking-message-from-god-222202/
Quote
Jim Caviezel said he chooses to star in films he believes will "bring the most souls to Christ" after God delivered a heartbreaking message to him when he played the role of Jesus in the 2004 film "The Passion of the Christ."

"When [God] came close to me in 'The Passion' when I was on that cross, [He said], 'They don't love me. There are very few,'" Caviezel told The Christian Post. "I was like, 'Well, I'm going to love You, and I'm going to tell You that I love You.' Tell it publicly, I don't care. I'm less afraid of ISIS than I am the media."

"That's why our Lord is so alone — His creatures do not love Him," he continued. "And, He could force Himself on us, but would that be love? I don't think so. I'm so blessed because I get to convey those stories, but do it in a way ... that I know can bring the most souls back to Him, even those that don't believe."

In the recently-released film "Paul, Apostle of Christ," Caviezel stars as Luke, a colleague of the Apostle Paul's (James Faulkner).
Quote
Caviezel told CP that prior to receiving the script for "Paul, Apostle of Christ," he experienced a series of life-changing events, including the death of his friend and lawyer, Frank Stewart, and sobering visit to Auschwitz concentration camp. But what affected him most, he said, were images shown to him by some Navy Seal friends: Christians crucified by the Islamic State terrorist group on Good Friday of last year.

"I got this script, and I read it, and I immediately thought, 'Wow, saints, murdered, killed,' and I thought about Frank being a mentor, and I thought that maybe Paul was a mentor to Luke, like Frank was to me, and it that's how it organically happened," he shared.

"So much of the time when I see these movies, they don't hit me because they're too fundamental or the performance is strong, but they change the words or they lose that human aspect to it," Caviezel told CP. "What I found with Faulkner was the humor, the relationship, that these guys would've had with each other."

Through the film, Caviezel said he hopes to draw attention to the persecuted Church — a problem still pervasive around the world today. The actor said he's inspired by Christians, who, like Paul, sacrifice everything for their faith, as they will be remembered for loving God in a special way.
Quote
Before taking on the role of Luke, Caviezel said he prayed one simple prayer: "Lord, I don't want the world to see me, I want them to see You. You gotta get closer to me."

"It's really like a conversation just like that, and I pray from the heart," he said. "Christ is the most authentic thing that ever was and the people that really affected my life were those that I played on screen, and Jesus."
Quote
From Sony's Affirm Films — the company behind "Miracles from Heaven" and "Heaven is for Real" — "Paul, Apostle of Christ" was released ahead of Easter weekend, perfectly timed in its themes of sacrifice, suffering, and faithfulness. Quietly woven throughout the film are lines taken directly from scripture — phrases Caviezel hopes will "go past the brain and into the heart."

"They slipped it in there; it's a book over here, a line over here," he said. "I took a friend of mine to see [the movie], who doesn't even believe in [God], and he said that the director was genius. He called him a philosopher. And I said, 'Why do you say that?' and he said, 'Well, that line, I love it: 'To live is Christ, to die is gain.' I said, 'Well, that was actually Paul, you know.'"

"But he didn't know that," he said with a chuckle. "We didn't want to hammer you over the head with it."
...

"The power of it is that, when these guys walk out [of the theater], they go, 'Wow, even in the face of evil, God still rests with me and I'm not afraid anymore,'" he said
While I knew Caviezel was quite religious, I didn't think he was this religious. Rather more, like Hollywood religious like Patrica Heaton or whatever.

Also, "From Sony's Affirm Films" ... knew the big boys weren't going to let all these upstarts grab the huge cash from these for long.

Judging how those movies manage to clog up between 2-3 screens at our best local theater this time of year, I’d say it’s probably a decent money train. Throw out a cheaply made movie that’s just called Insert Bible Guy Here with a wholesome family star that the Bible Belt remembers fondly from the torture porn movie. Make sure there’s a little persecution complex sprinkled in. Watch the asses fill the seats.

I’m fully onboard the Mike Stoklasa Theaters Need To Die plan.

Quote
Nick Loeb, famous for battling ex Sofia Vergara over frozen embryos, is co-directing a pro-life story of the landmark Supreme Court case, with a cast including conservative stars Jon Voight, Robert Davi and Stacey Dash.
As Nick Loeb walked to his car with a production assistant during a day of shooting his upcoming feature film, Roe v. Wade, outside Tulane University last week, a woman wearing a headset approached and asked: “Are you the director?”

“When I told her I was, she told me to go fuck myself," Loeb recalls. "Then she threw her headset on the ground and walked off. I found out later she was our electrician."

Anecdotes such as this have become fairly common since Loeb and his production partner, Cathy Allyn, began shooting their pro-life feature film June 15 in and around New Orleans.
Quote
The film has been under such tight wraps that even the major cast members had not been revealed; Two Supreme Court justices are played by a couple of Hollywood’s more outspoken conservatives, Jon Voight and Robert Davi, and other justices are played by Corbin Bernsen, John Schneider, Steve Guttenberg, William Forsythe, Wade Williams and Richard Portnow.

Stacey Dash, the Clueless star and former Fox News commentator who withdrew from a congressional race as a Republican three months ago, claiming the campaign had become “detrimental to the health and well-being of my family,” plays Mildred Jefferson, the first black woman to graduate from Harvard Medical School and the former president of National Right to Life.

Even with the secrecy, it’s been a challenging shoot. At Louisiana State University, Loeb says, “we were told we were rejected due to our content, even though it will be a PG-rated film. They refused to put it in writing, but they told us on the phone it was due to content.” At Tulane, where Loeb is an alum, the filim shot one day, but after the school newspaper reported on the nature of the project, producers were denied a second day of shooting, according to Loeb.
Quote
Casting has been a problem throughout, as actors have walked away once they realized there was a pro-life tilt to the film. “We had to replace three local actors, including one who was to play Norma McCorvey, even after she begged for the role,” says Loeb. McCorvey was known as Jane Roe in the landmark legal case.

Also touched on in the film is that Dallas District Attorney Henry Wade also prosecuted Jack Ruby for killing Lee Harvey Oswald. McCorvey’s attorneys, Linda Coffee and Sarah Weddington are played, respectively, by Justine Wachsberger and Greer Grammer, Kelsey Grammer’s daughter, while Lucy Davenport plays famed Feminine Mystique author Betty Friedan.

Among the crew members who quit in protest was a costumer who left after two weeks “because of the subject matter and pressure from her peers,” says Allyn. Even the director, also a woman, quit on the first day of shooting, so Loeb and Allyn are co-directing. They are also producers, and they co-wrote the script.

When they shot in Washington, D.C., their location manager there sent an email that read: "I have been doing research on the movie trying to figure out who is producing and what the gist of the story is, and I finally found it, and so I am withdrawing from this project. I am a staunch pro-abortion feminist activist, and I will not be party to such horrible propaganda.”
Quote
The movie is executive produced by Alveda King, the niece of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr., and she also has a cameo in the picture.

“There are lots of surprising cameos from controversial people in the news that I can’t tell you about — or more people might walk off the set,” quips Loeb.

From their past actions, I suspect the pro-abortion crowd would make it very difficult to find a theater willing to show the movie. I also suspect that when it comes out on DVD, Amazon will do its best to bury it deep so no one can find it and buy a copy. And don't hold your breath for an Oscar nomination for Best Documentary. These people can't handle the truth.

Quote
“They’re not keeping people in the loop with the script,” one crew member said. “When people finally receive the script, they’ve dropped out really fast. After people started dropping out, they said, ‘OK, don’t send people the scripts anymore.’ Instead, they’ve been changing lines and scenes before they shoot.”

Conservative actors Stephen Baldwin and Kevin Sorbo were initially cast as Supreme Court justices but left upon receiving the script. “That’s where it started as far as not sending out full scripts to actors, because they backed out and then it was a mad rush to find people to be the Supreme Court justices, and when they got on set they had no idea what they were doing. They didn’t get their lines until they got on set. They were kept in the dark,” according to a crew member.

“It’s a low-budget film. People are taking rates that are less than they’re used to; they’re being cheap with everything,” the crew member added. “There’s Jon Voight and very strong ties to the Fox News crowd. We’ve got Joey Lawrence, Jamie Kennedy. Just looking at our cast of people, this isn’t playing out like a low-budget film. There are a lot of big names flying in and doing favors to Nick [Loeb].”

Kennedy plays abortion-rights leader Larry Lader, while Lawrence is Robert Byrn, a Fordham University law professor who fought against abortion. Other cast members include Greer Grammer (daughter of Kelsey) and Justine Wachsberger as Sarah Weddington and Linda Coffee, the attorneys representing Norma McCorvey, aka Jane Roe; Lucy Davenport as Betty Friedan; Ellery Sprayberry as Norma McCorvey; and Loeb himself as Dr. Bernard Nathanson, an abortion doctor and co-founder of National Association for the Repeal of Abortion Laws (NARAL) who later became an ardent anti-abortion activist. Loeb also narrates the film as Nathanson in a nod to the controversial 1984 anti-abortion film The Silent Scream.
Quote
But two members of the Roe v. Wade cast have been kept secret from much of the cast and crew: Tomi Lahren and Milo Yiannopoulos. The right-wing trolls have been cast in one-scene cameos, with Lahren portraying Supreme Court Justice Blackmun’s daughter, Sally, a Planned Parenthood volunteer who challenges her father (Blackmun penned the court’s opinion on Roe v. Wade); and Yiannopoulos as Dr. David Sopher, a British abortion doctor who invented the Sopher ovum forceps and “who’s performing abortions and feels they don’t matter,” according to a crew member.

n Yiannopoulos’ yet-to-be-filmed scene, Dr. Nathanson (Loeb) witnesses Dr. Sopher (Milo)—who is described in the script as “an Anglo-Jew from India, with an unusual habit of an awkward giggle at the end of every sentence”—perform 32 abortions between 9 a.m. and 2 p.m., an alleged event Dr. Nathanson recounted in his book The Hand of God. “You blokes are missing out on a fortune over there in the colonies,” Dr. Sopher tells Dr. Nathanson after performing the procedures.

Most other cast members are not aware that Lahren and Yiannopoulos are making cameos in the film. “There aren’t even pictures up of them in the production office,” a crew member told The Daily Beast. “Somebody requested that no pictures of them be up.”

There is also the matter of Loeb and Allyn’s directorial abilities. Crew members claim that, given that it’s their first stab at directing and they have little filmmaking background, some actors have become frustrated by their incompetence.

“The first day of shooting, the actual director and the first AD quit. So then they decided that Cathy was going to be the main director, and she has very little experience, so she and Nick have no idea what they’re doing. Shots aren’t being set up right, and there have been communication problems with the cast,” the crew member recalled. “There was a moment where Joey Lawrence was trying to do a scene and Cathy said to him, ‘Now make a face like this,’ and he called her out and said, ‘That’s not what a director does. You tell me what I’m feeling and where I’m coming from, you don’t just say to make a face.’ A lot of actors are fed up with it because it’s amateur hour.”
woah

Like all things film, it's probably all about your access to the funding networks. Not sure script duties pays very well, the whole economic model works because the films are fairly inexpensive to shit out.

I suspect you'd be better off writing books. Same audience, less middle men.

There are whole channels dedicated to movies you can't understand why anyone would intentionally watch or fund, like 99% of Hallmark/Hallmark Movie Channel, ABC Family or whatever its called now, any Christian network.

Direct TV carries the Scientology channel, I believe it comes with the default package.

oh I understand why people like this stuff. I mean I get it. Everybody likes their world view reinforced.

It's just there is something specifically about the God is not Dead films that is funny. Like it almost feels like a goof. Because those are actually trying to be real movies. Like they feel like something you could legit watch via MST3k.

The Dinesh D'souza stuff or a lot of these other films while hateful just don't have the fun factor of the God is Dead films. Hard to explain unless you've seen them.

Scientology Network is an American television network and over-the-top streaming service launched by the Church of Scientology on March 12, 2018. The channel is available on DirecTV, the website Scientology.tv, Apple TV, Roku, Amazon Fire TV, and through iOS and Android apps.[1][2][3][4] Scientology leader David Miscavige introduced the first evening of broadcast, saying, “We’re not here to preach to you, to convince you or to convert you. No, we simply want to show you, because after all, the first principle of Scientology is that it’s only true if it is true to you. So, take a look and then decide for yourself.”[5][6]The network launched with six original shows, including: Meet A Scientologist, Voices for Humanity, and L. Ron Hubbard: In His Own Voice. [7]

There is only one T in DirecTV.. my whole existence has been a lie.

In the book, Christian pastor Todd Burpo writes that during the months after his son's emergency surgery in 2003, his son Colton began describing events and people that seemed impossible for him to have seen or met. Examples include his miscarried sister, whom no one had told him about, and his great grandfather who died 30 years before Colton was born. Colton also claimed that he personally met Jesus riding a rainbow-colored horse and sat in Jesus' lap, while the angels sang songs to him. He also says he saw Mary kneeling before the throne of God and at other times standing beside Jesus.

It's not just the priests that are pedos.

Taylor says he went into his office, got out a pen and paper, and started to write what he says the Holy Spirit told him.

"He was saying basically that America was going to prosper like never before; Israel and America, the ties between the two countries would be stronger than ever before; the dollar would be the strongest it's ever been; it was very detailed as far as what God was showing me," Taylor said.

Oh yeah, sounds super detailed, bro. And very consistent with God's message from the Bible. The Book of Daniel is pretty much all about how the American Dollar is gonna be really strong against the Euro.
