Fox Faith is releasing The Inquiry<\/a><\/i>, AKA The Final Inquiry<\/a><\/i>, next month. A team of German and Canadian filmmakers is developing The Sword of Peter<\/a><\/i>. And Screen Gems and Tim LaHaye are collaborating on The Resurrection<\/a><\/i> \u2014 the release date<\/a> of which, incidentally, was recently bumped to February 27, 2009.<\/span><\/p>\n

And now \u2026 another film joins the mix! Variety<\/a><\/i> reports:<\/p>\n

Making a foray into the faith-based arena, Ashok Amritraj\u2019s Hyde Park Entertainment<\/a> is producing \u201cRisen \u2013The Story of the First Easter.\u201d<\/p>\n

Hyde Park has hired scribe Paul Aiello to pen the script, which will center on the apostle Peter in telling the story of the time between the resurrection of Jesus and the Pentecost. . . .<\/p>\n

\u201cRisen\u201d does not yet have a distributor, although Hyde Park has a deal at Fox.<\/p>\n

Generally speaking, Hyde Park has turned out mainstream studio fare, including the upcoming Sandra Bullock starrer \u201cPremonition,\u201d which Sony opens Friday. Past pics include \u201cDreamer: Inspired by a True Story,\u201d \u201cBringing Down the House\u201d and \u201cRaising Helen.\u201d<\/p>\n

Amritraj said the time is right for faith-based entertainment considering the chaotic state of the world.<\/p>\n

\u201cAnd then secondly, clearly, I think there is a commercial marketplace and need for movies that have hope and values,\u201d Amritraj told Daily Variety<\/i>. \u201cIt\u2019s a big deal for us.\u201d<\/p>\n

Hyde Park intends to pursue other such projects. . . .<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Seems like everyone wants to make a sequel to The Passion of the Christ<\/a><\/i> (2004) these days. Bring \u2019em on, I say!<\/p>\n<\/body><\/html>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
