Blue Like Jazz back on track!

HUGE NEWS!  The movie version of Blue Like Jazz,  which was put on hold indefinitely a while back, is back on in a big way.  Miller reports on his blog that Steve Taylor will start filming in may, and that tentative casting has begun .  Apparently Miller has been in touch with an actor who is playing "Don" in the movie, which, essentially, is someone playing Don Miller .  Take a look at that mug and let us know which actor you'd like to see in the role.  Me?  Seth Rogen, but that'll never happen.  Comment or email us your picks!

Miller also posted a "review" of the script on his blog, which, unfortunately, has nothing at all about the script and could be just an overview of the book.  Hopefully we'll hear more soon.

Donald Miller at the Democratic Convention

You may wonder what politics has to do with Christian movies.  Well, it's simple.  Donald Miller, who's book Blue Like Jazz is being developed into one of the most hotly anticipated movies that we at the SuperCandid podcast have heard about, delivered the closing prayer at the opening night of the Democratic Convention.  Miller has also posted some snide humorous responses to those strangely personalized emails that political candidates have been sending out this year.  I have to tell you, he's not wrong to think it is strange when someone running for President seems to be sending you emails that begin with lines like:  "Hey Jon, I was just clipping my cuticles this morning and I thought of how much you've helped our cause."  Sometimes the attempt to connect is a little too much. Anyway, the bad news about Don Miller & Blue Like Jazz is that its fallen victim to the Steve Taylor curse.  Steve Taylor seems to love God quite a bit, but God must not love him back that much.  Just kidding, but once again a Steve Taylor project has fallen on hard times.  Blue Like Jazz is on indefinite hold until Taylor and his team can secure more funding.  Considering how the book was a runaway hit with hip young Christian men, it should be easy, but also considering that Taylor says he doesn't want it to play only to the typical Christian film audience, maybe the money is harder to get.  Personally I'm glad that Taylor is holding out for enough money to make the film as good as it can be, but I pray that he has success and gets it made soon.  I'm dying to see the next Steve Taylor project.  If it's half as good as The Second Chance then it'll be a shoe-in for Christian movie of the year! Watch Don Miller's prayer below.  If the clip starts and the beginning, as I'm afraid it will, just click over to the 5:57 mark, right near the end.
