Renowned actor Neal McDonough told Glenn Beck in Dec. that ‘something’s changed’ in Hollywood’s relationship with faith in 2024.
McDonough told Beck that when people like us here at Million Voices, or you wonderful folks at home, go out and buy movie tickets to see faith-based films, we’re sending a direct message to the movie studios in Los Angeles. “I love that,” said McDonough of this new trend in American culture.
“I was reading [the breakdown] of all the studios, what they’re looking for, and this project and that,” McDonough continued. “And never ever, ever, have I seen before, of the 10 [studios] four or five of them at the bottom say, ‘oh, by the way, if you have something of faith, we’re very interested this year.’”
“Something’s changed,” McDonough continued. “Whether it’s Angel Studios or maybe it’s the amazing Erwin brothers, whether it’s Dallas Jenkins, or whether it’s the Kendricks, whomever it is that’s going out there on the limb and telling stories of faith so the whole family can go to a theater together, grab popcorn, grab a soda, hang-back and watch a movie for two hours, then after have a discussion with your eight-year-old, or your 80-year-old.”
