Back in October, TheBlaze first told you about the re-boot of the buzz-worthy Left Behind movie that is on its way. As you may know, the popular Christian-themed book and film series tackled the Rapture and other Biblical themes.
Now, the movie series is preparing for a revamp one that will star actors Nicolas Cage, Chad Michael Murray and Ashley Tisdale. And this afternoon, TheBlaze exclusively learned that another star is in talks to potentially appear in the film.
According to sources, Tia Mowry-Hardrict (of the popular show Sister Sister) is talking with producers about a starring role in the new Left Behind.
So far, the role that Mowry-Hardrict would possibly play is under wraps, however the other actors placements in the movie have already been announced.
Cage will play Captain Rayford Steele, Tisdale will play his daughter, Chloe Steele, and Murray will depict journalist Buck Williams (previously played by Kirk Cameron). As for Mowry-Hardricts potential role, Stoney Lake Entertainment CEO Paul Lalonde did give a few clues.
They will be a passenger on a plane that the films main character Captain Rayford Steele is piloting, he said of the role that the famed actress could be cast to play.
The film will focus on the characters situation during the first few hours after the Biblical rapture, based on the Book of Revelation. Production begins at the end of April in Baton Rouge, La.
Thanks.
Of course, it’s just that my (limited) familarity with these books is that they are ham-fisted Protestant-centric proselytism with Jews and Roman Catholics (and basically anyone not a Baptist) doomed to burn in fire.
Seemed unlikely enough for Cage, but a Jewish lady would have more sense.
That guy is in every third movie made!
Thanks.
Can’t believe I forgot to mention this the other night, but another terrific movie is, “The Mission,” from 1986. The story is riveting, but the Ennio Morricone soundtrack alone is worth finding it and watching.
And Cage is a Scientologist.
Cage has been in depressing movies for a long time. At least since Leaving Las Vegas in 95. He offsets them with whacky comedies and retarded adventure movies, but the dark stuff is always there.
