Neal McDonough and Corbin Bernsen Join Apocalyptic Thriller LEFT BEHIND: RISE OF THE ANTICHRIST
Actors Neal McDonough (Band of Brothers, Captain America: The First Avenger, Minority Report), Corbin Bernsen (LA Law, Kiss Kiss Bang Bang, Psych) and Bailey Chase (Longmire, Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice) have joined the cast of the apocalyptic thriller sequel, Left Behind: Rise of the Antichrist. They join previously announced star, Kevin Sorbo (Hercules: The Legendary Journeys, Andromeda), who has also signed on as director. The movie also stars Greg Perrow (Drop Dead Diva, Sleepy Hollow, FBI) and Sarah Fisher (Degrassi: The Next Generation).
“The movie is the latest instalment in the Bible prophecy-themed ‘Left Behind’ film and book series (authored by the late Tim LaHaye and Jerry B. Jenkins), and it is the sequel to 2014’s Left Behind, which featured Nicolas Cage. ‘Left Behind: Rise of the Antichrist’ follows the original characters and storylines of the books, but its fictional world, originally conceived in the mid-nineties, has been updated to reflect today’s world.”
The “Left Behind” series follows a group of those left behind after millions of people suddenly vanish into thin air. The prophesied Great Tribulation has begun, and as Satan’s counterfeit messiah, a man the Bible calls “the Antichrist,” begins to weave his web of lies, everyone must choose a side – and the stakes have never been higher. “Rise of the Antichrist” is set approximately six months after the mass vanishings, which were the focus of the 2014 film.
The film is slated for a theatrical release in October 2022. Anyone still interested in this sequel?
