I am really kind of shocked to see Nicolas Cage in this. But his name may bring viewers.

I am definitely going to go see it in October when it comes out. I enjoyed the books.

Thoughts?

I kinda thought it had been done already? I did read a couple of the books and they were pretty good.

 

[gregkl]

Yeah, I also thought it was done with that actor who actually professes to be a Christian.

The books were good. It will be interesting to see how they bring it(them) to the screen.

 

[steveh_131]

It has been done, and the movie was not bad for a low budget film.

 

[joslar15]

Well, he did have some IRS problems if I remember correctly.

I wonder how many of the series they plan to make? Like the first group of movies it kinda leaves people with unanswered storyline. Alot happened later in the books. BTW I'd still go see it.

From what I've read, there are two movies planned for just the first book.

As a Christian,these books really hit me.The Kirk Cameron movie was also pretty good.Judging by the linked trailer,they almost look like they're trying to move away from the biblical aspects.Maybe it will be good,I hope so because then it will wake a lot of people up.

I actually came to Christ after reading the first three Left Behind books so I definitely liked the books. I loved the Kirk Cameron movies and wonder why he wasn't able to finish the series though I am guessing it is a money thing. I hope this new movie doesn't go the way of the NOAH though and that is what I fear most in today's secular world.

Although I am not of the faithful myself, I hope it does justice to the word. If you're going to try to represent it, do it right. If you can't do it right, just don't do it.

 

[churchmouse]

I want to see this. Not read the books.

Very little doubt in my mind that this is the case.

Oh yea IBTL !

 

[churchmouse]

Having not read the books I might be able to enjoy it. If I have knowledge before hand I am usually let down by the movie.

 

[JetGirl]

I hope this new movie doesn't go the way of the NOAH

You mean like Lot showing up on a speedboat after everything was annihilated?

 

[hoosierdoc]

I want to see this. Not read the books.

Honestly I am guessing the books will be way better than the movie. Nothing against the planned movie, just that the books were really en"rapturing". Hah, get it?!

Yeah I get it.........

 

[HoughMade]

Why can't we have remakes of: "A Thief in the Night" and "A Distant Thunder"?

If you're not familiar, think of eschatological/pre trib '70s grindhouse.

 

[Expat]

Never read the books either so I might watch the movie. Like CM said, it is often hard to enjoy the movies otherwise...
Just like the LOTR movies. They were outstanding movies but I still found myself thinking of inconsistencies from the book, parts that were left out...

 

[bmbutch]

Read all the books, liked the Kirk Cameron movies, trailor I thought looked pretty good. Looking forward to the release.

Hopefully not, but IBTL.

yeah, something like that would really ruin it for me.
