Trailer for the Faith-Based Drama HEAVEN IS FOR REAL
Sony Pictures has released the first trailer for their faith-based drama Heaven Is For Real. The film is based on the book written by Todd Burpo and Lynn Vincent. It's called Heaven Is for Real: A Little Boy's Astounding Story of His Trip to Heaven and Back.
The film tells the true story behind about a little boy's near-death experience and subsequent claim that he visited heaven. His family and the members of his small town don't believe him until his stories identify people who have passed away.
The movie was directed by Randall Wallace (Secretariat), and it stars Greg Kinnear and Kelly Reilly who play the mom and dad. Connor Corum plays their son, and it also stars Margo Martindale and Thomas Haden Church. Watch the new trailer after the jump.
Based on the #1 New York Times best-selling book of the same name, HEAVEN IS FOR REAL brings to the screen the true story of a small-town father who must find the courage and conviction to share his son’s extraordinary, life-changing experience with the world.
The film stars Academy Award® nominee and Emmy® award winning actor Greg Kinnear as Todd Burpo and co-stars Kelly Reilly as Sonja Burpo, the real-life couple whose son Colton (newcomer Connor Corum) claims to have visited Heaven during a near death experience. Colton recounts the details of his amazing journey with childlike innocence and speaks matter-of-factly about things that happened before his birth … things he couldn’t possibly know. Todd and his family are then challenged to examine the meaning from this remarkable event.
The movie is set to be released just in time for Easter on April 16th, 2014.
