<\/p>\n

This fall a film based on Donald Miller\u2019s bestselling spiritual memoir, Blue Like Jazz,<\/a><\/em> is expected to hit theaters nationwide. In many ways, Miller\u2019s book is an unlikely subject for a feature film.<\/p>\n

Blue Like Jazz<\/em> is a collection of semi-autobiographical short essays based in part on Miller\u2019s experience auditing classes at Reed College in Oregon that explore the author\u2019s wrestling with questions of faith.<\/p>\n

But the film project is part of a growing trend of adapting well-known \u201cChristian\u201d or Christian-themed books (both fiction and nonfiction) as feature films. Recent movies based on C.S. Lewis<\/a>\u2018 Chronicles of Narnia <\/em>series have grossed more than $1.5 billion worldwide. Two more film adaptations of Lewis\u2019 works \u2014 The Screwtape Letters<\/a><\/em> and The Great Divorce<\/em> \u2014 are in development.<\/p>\n

Ralph Winter<\/a>, producer of the X-Men films and a self-professed Christian, is set to produce the film version of The Screwtape Letters<\/em> in a partnership with Fox and Walden Media, the studio that produced the Narnia films, as well as \u201cBridge to Terabithia\u201d and \u201cCharlotte\u2019s Web.\u201d<\/p>\n

Fox has owned the film rights to The Screwtape Letters<\/em> since the 1950s, and adapting Lewis\u2019 1942 satirical novel for the big screen has been an endeavor of epic proportions. The book is composed of a series of letters from the veteran demon Screwtape to his junior \u201ctempter\u201d nephew, Wormwood, on the best ways to bring about the spiritual downfall of his target, a British man known simply as \u201cthe Patient.\u201d<\/p>\n

<\/a><\/p>\n

Winter told The Christian Post last year that producers hoped to attach director Scott Dickerson (\u201cThe Exorcism of Emily Rose<\/a>\u201c) to the film, which likely be rated PG-13, because it is \u201cedgy, serious material.\u201d<\/p>\n

While the film is on a \u201cfast track\u201d and a 2012 release is likely, Winter is in no hurry to get it into theaters. \u201cI don\u2019t want to be known as the guy who ruined it,\u201d he said. \u201cSo I\u2019m gonna go slow \u2026 We\u2019ll get there in God\u2019s timing and when it\u2019s right.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cScrewtape\u201d has sparked speculation about who should play the demon protagonists. Winter talked about \u201carchetypal\u201d actors, such as a \u201cJohn Goodman-type\u201d for the role of Screwtape, and perhaps someone wholly unexpected for Wormwood \u2014 maybe even an actress, such as Oscar-winner Reese Witherspoon. The film likely would not be a period piece set in 1940s Britain, Winter said, but instead feature a more contemporary setting in North America or elsewhere.<\/p>\n

How about a Screwtape Letters<\/a><\/em> set in modern-day Dublin? Bono of U2 (who played with Screwtape-style spiritual parodies as Macphisto during the band\u2019s Zoo TV tour<\/a> in the \u201990s) could be Screwtape, with the wide-eyed Irish actor Cillian Murphy (\u201cBreakfast on Pluto\u201d) as Wormwood, and world-weary countryman Stephen Rea (\u201cThe Crying Game\u201d) as The Patient. If Dickerson doesn\u2019t come through as director, Irish director Jim Sheridan (\u201cMy Left Foot,\u201d \u201cIn America\u201d) would round out a Dublin Screwtape<\/em> production perfectly with his signature mix of melancholy and dark humor. And Roddy Doyle (\u201cThe Commitments\u201d) could lend a hand with the screenplay.<\/p>\n

What is it about Lewis that makes his work \u2014 both fiction and nonfiction \u2014 such appealing fodder for films?<\/p>\n

\u201cFirst and foremost, Lewis was a serious scholar, steeped in the classics,\u201d said Craig Detweiler of Pepperdine University\u2019s Center for Entertainment, Media, and Culture. \u201cHe understood the mythic power of story and the indelible impact of memorable characters. Lewis engaged in flights of fancy. His cinematic imagination exceeded Hollywood\u2019s ability to render it onscreen. So special effects are just no catching up to the visions of authors like Lewis and Tolkien.<\/p>\n

\u201cHe also found metaphors that embodied enduring truths. Lewis\u2019s stories are laden with issues of faith and doubt, frailty and redemption that inspire us across generations. And surely, the entertainment industry longs for stories that appeal to all ages and cultures, \u201cDetweiler said.<\/p>\n

While the prolific Lewis has enough material in his oeuvre to keep filmmakers busy for decades to come, his are not the only enduringly popular Christian books that could translate into powerful cinema. Here are a few humble suggestions, with a little help from my Facebook friends:<\/p>\n

Godric<\/em> by Frederick Buechner<\/strong><\/p>\n

Godric is a fictional retelling of the life and travels of the medieval English saint, Godric of Finchale. Phillip Seymour Hoffman would be stunning as Godric, with Tony Hale (\u201cArrested Development\u201d) as his secretary\/biographer and the inimitable Wallace Shawn (\u201cPrincess Bride\u201d) as Elric the wizened old hermit. (Imagine Shawn\u2019s quirky lisp delivering lines like, \u201cMy skull\u2019s a chapel. So is yours. The thoughts go in and out like godly folk to Mass. But what of hands that itch for gold?\u201d) Peter Jackson directs.<\/p>\n

(Actor Ned Beatty holds the film rights to Buechner\u2019s epic Book of Bebb<\/em><\/strong>, a quartet of novels about the Rev. Leo Bebb, the archetypal smarmy, corrupt preacher. Get this project to Joel and Ethan Coen<\/a>, pronto, with Beatty or Charles Durning as Bebb.)<\/p>\n

Operating Instructions<\/em> by Anne Lamott<\/strong><\/p>\n

Lamott\u2019s hilarious and deeply spiritual memoir about her unexpected single motherhood and the first year of her son\u2019s life would take \u201cChristian\u201d fodder to a new place: romantic comedy. Sandra Bullock, Catherine Keener (\u201cThe 40-year-old Virgin\u201d) or Laura Linney (\u201cThe Big C\u201d) have the strength, humor and neurotic energy to portray Lamott. Fill out the cast with the quirky soulfulness of folks like Frances McDormand, Holly Hunter, Dianne Wiest, Mark Ruffalo, Jim Broadbent and Zooey Deschanel. Nora Ephron or Nancy Meyers directs, and Sam Phillips does the musical score.<\/p>\n

Gilead<\/em> by Marilynne Robinson<\/strong><\/p>\n

This Pulitzer Prize-winning novel \u2014 the fictional autobiography of the Rev. John Ames, a dying, elderly congregational minister in rural Gilead, Iowa \u2014 is ripe for a cinematic retelling. Robert Duvall\/Brad Pitt as Ames. Ryan Gosling as Jack Boughton. Cate Blanchett as Lila. T-Bone Burnett does the soundtrack with ample input from Alison Krauss and Union Station. Clint Eastwood directs.<\/p>\n

The Shack<\/em> by William Paul Young<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n

In the novel, God appears to the protagonist, Mack, as three persons \u2014 \u201cPapa,\u201d an African-American woman (who also goes by \u201cElouisa\u201d); a Middle Eastern carpenter; and an Asian woman named \u201cSarayu.\u201d Young has said he is working on a screenplay for \u201cthe Shack,\u201d and at least one fan site is lobbying for Queen Latifah to play \u201cPapa\/Elouisa.\u201d (If not the Queen, how about Wanda Sykes or \u2014 do we dare \u2014 The Oprah?) Tony Shalhoub (\u201cMonk\u201d) would bring a great ironic soulfulness to the carpenter and Margaret Cho an unexpected fierceness and humor to \u201cSarayu.\u201d Steve Carrell, Greg Kinnear or Luke Wilson as Mack. Director Tom Shadyac (\u201cEvan Almighty\u201d) would hit it out of the park.<\/p>\n

Love in the Ruins<\/em> by Walker Percy<\/strong><\/p>\n

This 1971 science fiction novel follows its protagonist, Dr. Thomas More (a descendent of Sir Thomas More, author of Utopia<\/em>), an alcoholic lapsed Catholic psychiatrist and enthusiastic lothario in a small Louisiana town called Paradise. Set in a time when society is coming apart at the seams (a fact only More seems to notice), the novel deals with themes of social ills, psychological malaise and a machine called the Ontological Lapsometer that might be the solution to (or the downfall of) society\u2019s impending destruction. Cast Bill Murray as More and let Terry Gilliam direct with his Pythonian sense of humor and eccentric twists on reality.<\/p>\n

Paradise Lost<\/em> by John Milton<\/strong><\/p>\n

Milton\u2019s 17th-century, 10,000-line poem about the temptation of Adam and Eve by the Serpent in the Garden of Eden (and the subsequent fall of man) is laden with eternal themes of good and evil, sin and free will, God\u2019s goodness and justice, and laced with mythological and theological touchstones. Let Francis Ford Coppola have his way with this one and cast Jack Nicholson (or Robert De Niro) as the Devil with Jason Schwartzman as Adam and Natalie Portman as Eve.<\/p>\n

Velvet Elvis<\/em> by Rob Bell<\/strong><\/p>\n

Bell\u2019s first book, a nonfiction bestseller that, as the author puts it, \u201cre-imagines\u201d the Christian faith, could be the jumping off point for a biopic about Bell himself \u2014 the 40-year-old evangelical pastor Time magazine dubbed a \u201crock star\u201d of the faith. At the same time, a movie version of Velvet Elvis<\/em> could be a cultural snapshot of so many other young Christians pushing the boundaries of traditionalism and embracing culture in innovative ways. Owen Wilson is a shoe-in for Bell. And the mind reels at what Wes Anderson\u2019s singular storytelling, idiosyncratic sensibilities and hyper attention to cultural details could do with this story.<\/p>\n
