A veteran actress known for her major roles in film and television says her new faith-based film Sun Moon reminds viewers there is hope on the other side of heartache.

An investigative filmmaker who has explored Israel and the Middle East for archaeological evidence for the biblical stories says he has found a “pattern” of physical corroboration for the stories of Scripture that has helped strengthen his faith. 

Tim Mahoney released his first “Patterns of Evidence” documentary in 2015 and is scheduled to release his next one in May: Patterns of Evidence: Journey to Mt. Sinai, Part II. It will be in theaters May 15 and 17, examining the various proposals for the biblical mountain where Moses received the Ten Commandments.  

The movie, The Fatherless Epidemic, can be watched for free on YouTube and confronts the issue of fatherlessness while urging Christians to get involved on the local level and address it. 

Director Sean McNamara said the movie, which tells the story of a dad, mom and children who were aboard a small plane off the coast of Florida in 2009 when the pilot died, mid-flight, is "miraculous."

The actor said if movie theaters are "where the pulpit is for people who wouldn't normally step foot in a church, then that's still a great way to have that conversation." “ ... It matters that these films get supported.” 

Foreman famously won the heavyweight championship at age 24 and then again at age 45 to become the oldest title holder in history. But it was a near-death experience in between those two titles that transformed his life and led him to become a pastor, he says.

Angel Studios’ His Only Son, which follows the biblical story of Abraham and Isaac, grossed an estimated $3.2 million over the Easter weekend for a No. 6 finish and has now made $11,044,046 in roughly a week and a half. 

The filmmakers behind the recent faith-based movie "Jesus Revolution" announced their next film, which will be based on a true story and will star two-time Academy Award winner Hilary Swank.

Lionsgate will release it. Ordinary Angels will star Alan Ritchson (Reacher, The Hunger Games: Catching Fire) and two-time Oscar winner Hilary Swank (Million Dollar Baby, Logan Lucky). The film is the highest-tested film in the history of Kingdom Story, the company said.

Angel Studies, the streaming platform behind the hit Christian series The Chosen, is gearing up to release a film surrounding the story of Abraham, including the moment when God asked him to sacrifice his son, Isaac.
