Kevin Sorbo’s new film offers what we need: redemption and hope.
A New Movie Fights Back Against Hollywood with Redemption and Hope
A captivating new film, directed and starring conservative Christian actor Kevin Sorbo, is making waves as it takes on Hollywood. Sorbo describes the movie, titled Miracle in East Texas, as a powerful story of “redemption and hope.”
“This is a fight back to Hollywood,” Sorbo expressed to the Washington Examiner. “It’s an old-fashioned great wonderful romantic comedy that people actually love. And it has everything we’re missing in the world right now, which is redemption and hope.”
Sorbo, widely recognized for his role in the hit TV series Hercules: The Legendary Journeys, delves into the true tale of two cunning con men in the 1930s. These swindlers deceive widows into investing in their oil business, but eventually face exposure and are given a chance at redemption.
Joining Sorbo in the film is the talented John Ratzenberger, famous for his role in the beloved sitcom Cheers and his voice work in Pixar films, including the iconic Toy Story.
While Miracle in East Texas may not have the massive marketing budgets of major Hollywood productions, Sorbo acknowledges its independent spirit.
“I mean, I say wonderful PG-rated movie, but you know we’re independent movies,” Sorbo explained. ”We don’t have that $100 million advertising budget that others have.”
Sorbo, like other actors in recent years, such as Dean Cain, has become more vocal about his conservative views. In fact, he recently released a children’s book called The Test of Lionhood, which aims to inspire young boys to be courageous and resilient in the face of challenges.
In a recent interview with his wife, Sam, Sorbo expressed his concern about the current state of the world, filled with “anger and hate.” He particularly criticized those who support the terrorist group Hamas, which recently attacked Israel.
“It’s really unbelievable,” Sorbo exclaimed. “To sit there and watch people here in America take the side of Hamas and cheer and go up and down the streets and say we’re not supposed to retaliate in any way. Are people in this country beheading babies? I don’t think so. I mean, it’s sick, the world we’re living in.”
Miracle in East Texas hit theaters on October 29, offering audiences a captivating story of redemption and hope.
