Biblical Cinema Growth: The Passion of The Christ movie (earned more than $370 million in North America alone) may be the forerunner of a ‘renaissance’ in Christian film. Several new Bible-based blockbusters are on their way claims Richard Gazolwski, President of WYSIWYG Filmworks. They are The Chronicles of Narnia (based on the book series by C.S. Lewis), The Visitation (based on the Frank Peretti best-selling novel) and One Night with the King (from a Tommy Tenney book. Also Michael W. Smith has his first leading film role in soon to be released Second Chance. T.D. Jakes released Woman Thou Art Loosed in October to solid box-office response. In early 2006, Gravity: The Shadow of Joseph releases. Gazowski notes that in the last few months, there have been over 12 Christian film festivals, with each one displaying an average of over 40 new video productions. Only a few years ago just 4 or 5 new Christian products was typical. (Christian Retailing 12/13/04)
