A small group of survivors are left behind after millions of people suddenly disappear and the world is plunged into chaos and destruction, This is Nicolas Cage’s remake of the Christian film “Left Behind” based on the series of Christian books Tim LaHaye and Jerry Jenkins.
Left behind: The movie (Left behind in Latin America, and What was left behind in Spain) was released on September 4, 2000. This is the first film in the trilogy, it is followed by Left behind II: Tribulation force, and then by Left behind III: World at war.
Some Cage fans questioned whether the cast members, including Cage, were “believers”. Others expressed concern that an actual abduction could occur before the film’s 2014 release.
Cage, plays the lead role of pilot Rayford Steele in the apocalyptic movie. The award-winning actor has been notoriously tight-lipped about his religious faith, although there is speculation that he is a Roman Catholic.
It is worth mentioning that this remake of Lef Behind implied a lot of difficulties for Cage, “it was hard to get actors – many agents did not want to share a script based on faith with their clients and that was the biggest challenge,” said producer and writer Paul Lalonde .
“Some of the actors are believers. Some are evangelical and open believers and others are believers in their private lives. I’m going to leave it up to them to decide what they want to share with their fans.”
Another question among fans is whether the film itself will “theologically” reflect “biblical truth.” “I guess that depends on who you ask,” Lalonde wrote. “This movie, by definition, is based on a pre-tribulation rapture. There are those who would disagree with that interpretation of Scripture.”
