Jerry Jenkin's Riven to be a movie directed by

Jerry Jenkin's Riven  is set to be made into a movie by his son Dallas Jenkins in partnership with PureFlix, the makers of The Wager , Hidden Secret s and the forthcoming Holyman Undercover .  Dallas Jenkins previously directed Midnight Clear , which we might get around to reviewing one of these days.  He says in the article that Riven will be the second film produced by a partnership between Jenkins Entertainment and PureFlix, but no word on the first film. Riven is the story of a somewhat disillusioned pastor and a convicted killer.  The story touches on despair and redemption.  I believe the title refers to Christ's body being "pulled or torn asunder," and not, I'm assuming, a multidimensional puzzle contained within a series of books.

David A.R. White's New Film about Vietnam & its Legacy

Christian Cinema had an article about the filming of David A.R. White's (Hidden Secrets ) new movie called To The Wall.  It co-stars Kevin Downes (Thr3e ) and is the story of two men who's fathers died in Vietnam.  Through a twist of fate they find out their father's were friends during the war and they take a cross-country trip to the Vietnam Veteran's Memorial to discover the secrets of their past.  

The movie also stars Candice Cameron Brue (The Wager ), Rebekah St. James and Stephen Baldwin.  

The plot is sounds reminiscent of the 1989 Norman Jewison film In Country , which starred Bruce Willis as a Vietnam Vet who takes a trip to the Wall with his niece to heal both his wounds and the wounds left by her father's death in Vietnam.  That movie was rather bad until they actually went to the wall, when it really transcended its source material and became quite moving.

For something as powerful iconographically as the Vietnam Veteran's Memorial, I'm surprised there aren't more movies that feature it and the huge national emotions that it both represents and provokes.
