“DANGEROUS CALLING is going to shake things up,” declares Cloud Ten’s CEO, André van Heerden.  Cloud Ten Pictures Inc., has made a name for itself with its end-times dramas, the Left Behind movies and theApocalypse Series.

DANGEROUS CALLING, debuting on February 8, 2010, marks the indie production/distribution house’s first foray into the Suspense/Thriller genre.  “It’s not everyday you come across a truly scary Christian film,” notes Paul Lalonde, the company’s owner and chairman.

“DANGEROUS CALLING may raise some eyebrows, but we’re proud to be distributing it.”

Initially unsure how audiences might respond to the thriller, van Heerden waited for reactions from its premiere screening at the 2008 Rome (Georgia) International Film Festival, before approaching the producers about distributing the title.  The audience loved it, awarding it the Audience Choice Award for Best Feature.  Since acquiring the film, Cloud Ten Pictures has received a full spectrum of responses; and is warning that the film is definitely not for children or for the faint of heart.

With a nod to films like PSYCHO and MISERY, DANGEROUS CALLING is not your typical ‘church movie.’  A new pastor in a small-town church stands up to a few controlling church members who oppose his new ideas for reaching the youth of the community, and he and his wife face dire consequences.  Despite being set in a small-town church community, DANGEROUS CALLING doesn’t hold back on the chills, with genuinely ‘watch-through-your-fingers’ suspense.

DANGEROUS CALLING is the first feature film from writers/directors brother Josh and Jeremiah Daws.  The Daws brothers drew on influences from their own lives in creating this intense thriller that addresses the issue of small-town church politics from a modern perspective.  “Our primary goal was to tell an entertaining story, but the movie has an important message for the church,” explains Jeremiah.  In order to see the message, however, you have to be brave enough to watch the film.

DANGEROUS CALLING releases on DVD nationwide February 8, 2010 and is available for church exhibition through Cloud Ten’s  Church Cinema (although recommended only for older teens and adults). DANGEROUS CALLING will be distributed domestically on DVD to the secular and Christian markets through E1 Entertainment (www.e1distribution.com), and to all other markets directly by Cloud Ten Pictures.

Anyway, as reported HERE on Cinematical.com:

This October (2007), A.J. Jacobs is releasing The Year of Living Biblically: One Man’s Humble Quest to Follow the Bible as Literally as Possible. Months before it hits the stands, Paramount and Plan B are working on a feature adaptation.

I see this going one of two ways. Hollywood either makes this into a total farce that flops, or this could be a really funny social satire, as the writer also says that the book is “an exploration of what is good about the Bible and what is of debatable relevance to modern times.” Are there any Biblical elements you’re ready to see him live out?

And now from Empire Online there are reports of Marlon Wayans being attached to star:

Marlon Wayans – the co-writer and star of some of the worst comedies of the last 20 years – has signed on to star in The Year Of Living Biblically, a high-concept comedy about a guy who agrees to live according to the rules of the Old and New Testament for one year.

If you’re thinking that that sounds a tad likeYes Man, you’re not a million miles away. The Year Of Living Biblically, like Yes Man, started life as a non-fiction book, with Esquire editor A.J. Jacobs pulling a Danny Wallace, with – needless to say – hilarious results!

SAVING GOD tells the story of Armstrong Cane (played by Ving Rhames) a reformed ex-con, who returns from prison to preach at his father’s former church, only to find the neighborhood overtaken by drug dealers and the congregation in crisis. As Cane works to save the community he left behind, to save his young parishioners from the dangerous draw of the streets and to save himself from the demons of his violent past, he faces the ultimate question: Who will save God for the souls who have lost Him?

In its fourteenth year, IFFF promotes socially responsible films which express a fundamental respect for the positive values of life. “SAVING GOD is an inspiring film that we wish there were more of. Its powerful themes are heightened by a remarkable cast and some surprising twists,” says Chris Shoemaker, IFFF Executive Director. IFFF 2009 “World Peace through Filmmaking” took place February 26 through March 1, at the historic Raleigh Studios in Hollywood, California.

The IFFF award is the first festival award for SAVING GOD. “We are thrilled that SAVING GOD is receiving such positive recognition. We love the film, and it’s wonderful to see that audiences love it also,” says Cloud Ten Pictures CEO Andre van Heerden. SAVING GOD is slated to screen at several upcoming US film festivals including the Foursite Film Festival, in Ogden, Utah, March 4-7, the Lake Arrowhead Film Festival, in Lake Arrowhead, California, April 2-5, the Buffalo Niagara Film Festival, in Buffalo, New York, May 1-10 and the FirstGlance Film Festival in Hollywood, May 1-3.
