Big news regarding The Shack: the film adaptation of William P. Young’s novel, which was going to be directed by Forest Whitaker, is now going to be directed by Stuart Hazeldine, a Christian filmmaker that I had the pleasure of interviewing for my Christianity Today story on the Bible-movie revival earlier this year. Curiously, Deadline, which broke the news, says nothing about Whitaker or the actors he had approached for the film, such as Idris Elba and Oprah Winfrey. Looks like they’re starting over from scratch, as far as that goes?
