Los Angeles, CA (PRWEB) October 26, 2005
It’s not Kabbalah or Scientology, but Christianity that’s making a splash in Hollywood these days. Christians are behind some of the biggest movies and TV shows out there –- productions like The Exorcism of Emily Rose, Joan of Arcadia, Fantastic Four, X-Men and That '70s Show.
Behind the Screen: Hollywood Insiders on Faith, Film and Culture, (Nov. 2005,Baker Books) is a collection of essays by screenwriters, directors and producers who are breaking barriers and religious stereotypes in Hollywood.
Behind the Screen is edited by Spencer Lewerenz, and Barbara Nicolosi, a former nun and founder of Act One, an organization that has made its mission, to train committed Christians to work in mainstream TV and film.
Over eighteen insiders contribute to the book including:
Their approach is decidedly different from many Christians, who, because they don’t approve of what they see on TV and at the movie theater, blame Hollywood for our cultural woes while the mainstream culture continues to view “Christian” projects as unwatchable, box-office flops.
Behind the Screen challenges that thinking, “If Christians want to create successful projects with faith themes, then we need to learn from successful non-Christians… we also need people who are apostles and artists willing to transform themselves and their work to truth and beauty for Hollywood.”
** Only faith in Hollywood book written by major Hollywood insiders including X Men, Exorcism of Emily Rose, That 70's Show and Joan of Arcadia.
** Faith Revelations in upcoming films including Lion, Witch & the Wardrobe and blasphemy controversy in upcoming films The DaVinci Code.
