Holy Box Office! Thérèse, in the tradition of The Passion

[Notwithstanding]

The phenomenal success of Mel Gibson's The Passion of the Christ is opening doors for all kinds of religious projects. For me, personally, as the director of a feature film Thérèse, based on the life of the most popular saint of modern times, Saint Thérèse of Lisieux, scheduled for release in October of this year, the timing couldn't be better. The blockbuster status of Gibson's film has jarred secular Hollywood into sitting up and taking notice of this little movie made by our independent production company, Luke Films.

[RockDoc]

I believe so.

[Flying Circus]

Yep.
