Any thoughts?

Sweet, Darwinists embarassed and now this.

Will this be out in theaters? Presumably not.

They doth appear to be in modern garb.

"There never was a man in the world without a creed. What is a creed? A creed is what you believe. What is a confession? It is a declaration of what you believe. That declaration may be oral or it may be committed to writing, but the creed is there either expressed or implied."—B.H. Carroll

I understand there was an old animated one from the 50's. Has anyone seen it?

Interesting. Does it appear too modern for its own good?

That's what I'm thinking from seeing the trailer.

If you are thinking of the Gospel Communications edition (1950, 1978, 2003), we have that on DVD.

I was wondering that as well.

Since the book is an allegory I wouldn't have a problem with it being brought into modern times a bit. Might help people relate to the story a bit more, so long as the storyline isn't tampered with and they keep "modern morality" out of it.

Your thoughts on that one?

Overall, pretty good. The musical soundtrack sounds like something out of Godspell and there is a brief shadow representation purporting to be Christ on the cross, which we abhor, but otherwise, it's pretty good.

We also have the Torchlighters John Bunyan DVD, which tells the story of Bunyan himself with scenes from The Pilgrim's Progress, which I like better.

In theory it might have seem good to make this into a movie but i dont think this is going to turn out too well.

I think this movie is supposed to come out sometime this month but their website has gone "offline." Any word on this?

It did say that an update is in progress and to check back later. Lets try again in a day or two.

It looks pretty lame; like it is produced by the same type of company that does Bibleman. It may be good, but just from the preview it does not appear to be a high budget film.

Looks good though. If it stays faithful to the book. I'll go see it.

In love he predestined us for adoption as sons through Jesus Christ, according to the purpose of his will, to the praise of his glorious grace, with which he has blessed us in the Beloved." Eph. 1:3-6 ESV

Many times the first few reviews on Amazon on VERY positive about the product. That is if the marketing people are doing their job. I hope the movie is great but I'm betting the first review was written by someone associated with the video.

That's a great point, Bob! However I did read on the evbible site that they had watched it and highly recommend it, so I thought it was maybe safe to send the Amazon review. Of course, I don't know exactly who they are either!

Pilgrim's Progress: Journey to Heaven, 2008 DVD - $16.99 : EvangelicalBible.com

Hopefully someone here will watch it and review it for us!
