Plenty of eyes will be trained on Fireproof, the Kendricks’ follow up to Facing the Giants, which has been screening for pastors and is counting on word of mouth among the Christian community to garner the same kind of attention generated by Giants.Įarnest but predictable, Fireproof wants its good intentions to compensate for a lack of imagination. A unique release strategy catering to churches showed that the Christian audience-elusive but still sought after since the unexpected success of The Omega Code in 1999 and the unprecedented reach of The Passion of the Christ in 2004-would continue to turn out for the right film. Their earlier film, Facing the Giants, surprised Hollywood insiders by grossing more than $10 million on a budget of just $100,000. The Kendrick brothers-writer/director Alex and co-writer Stephen-are becoming a powerful duo in the world of Christian filmmaking. Rating: PG (for thematic material and some peril)Īctors: Kirk Cameron, Erin Bethea, Ken Bevel, Bailey Cave, Jason McLeod, Jim McBride, Harris Malcolm, Phyllis Malcolm Theatrical Release Date: September 26, 2008
