Fireproof the Movie Coming Soon

Posted by Brian Tubbs May 6, 2008

Sherwood Pictures, the media division of Georgia-based Sherwood Baptist Church, is releasing its third film this Fall. This film, titled Fireproof, which profiles a gritty firefighter struggling to salvage his marriage. The movie stars former Growing Pains TV star Kirk Cameron.

Sherwood Baptist Church has produced two movies thus far. The first was Flywheel, made for approximately $20,000, has enjoyed modest success in DVD sales and Christian television. Sherwood's second film, Facing the Giants, achieved nationwide distribution and an impressive box office showing for an indie picture. Facing the Giants cost approximately $80-100,000 to make, and exceeded $10 million in the domestic box office. It then went on to make even more money in the DVD market.

Flywheel and Facing the Giants were low-budget indie films, to be sure. Those looking for flashy CGI effects or multimillion dollar cinematography won't be impressed. However, those interested in a good story with captivating characters shouldn't miss them. They are among the most inspirational movies I've ever seen!

If Fireproof is half as good as the first two, I can't wait! Get my popcorn and soda ready, please! And the tissue box too.....for my wife of course. Ahem.
