“Fireproof” Opens September 26
Sherwood Films and Sony BMG/Music Entertainment announced today the Friday, September 26th opening date for Fireproof. Put that on your calendar and start asking your local theater for tickets. Remember that if you can’t go on Friday, make it a point to attend opening weekend (Friday, Saturday or Sunday), because box office results are tallied for the entire weekend.This is the first film from the Kendrick brothers to have someone other than Alex in the lead role. For this film they brought in family favorite and star of the Left Behind series Kirk Cameron. Alex and his brother Stephen have roles in the film, as does everyone’s favorite opposing coach from Facing the Giants, Jim McBride. In a conversation with Jim the other day, he told me to watch for the lollipop to reappear in this movie.Sony and Provident Music tapped their roster of artists to bring some Christian music favorites into the project. Casting Crowns debuted Slow Fade on Yahoo Music today to coincide with the announcement of the release date. On the Fireproof website you’ll also find a video of the song “Love Is not a Fight” by Warren Barfield, along with a teaser trailer and behind the scenes video.
I really praise God for these guys - the Kendrick Brothers and Sherwood Baptist Church. It is amazing that here in England for those of us who viewed Facing The Giants, that there is so much anticipation for this film to be seen. Who would have known that a Christian film would be that much in demand!!! This is the Lord’s doing and it is marvelous in our eyes. I believe that this is just the start.
