There have been efforts but they have mostly been disaster because of poor screenwriting, acting, editing, directing, or any combination thereof.

The "Left Behind" series of books had the is very popular yet the movies suck because the storyline doesn't flow smoothly and the acting is 2nd rate at best. The books talk often about prayers and the individuals' spiritual transformations to Christianity, yet the movie seems to be afraid of being "too churchy" and edits them out.

You're right. I've read the entire series and have viewes all the films so far. I thought the books were a bit wooden. They didn't live up to my expectations for novels, but I read them anyhow. The movies, on the other hand, were just execrable. Virtually unwatchable, and not because I'm an atheist. I have a very broad range in film-watching. Sad.
