filmmusicreporter.wordpress.com/2011/01/05/asche-spencer-scoring-machine-gun-preacher/Asche & Spencer have been hired to score the upcoming action biopic Machine Gun Preacher. The movie tells the story of Sam Childers, a former drug-dealing biker tough guy who found God and became a crusader for hundreds of Sudanese children who’ve been forced to become soldiers. The movie starring Gerard Butler, Michelle Monaghan and Michael Shannon is directed by Marc Forster (Finding Neverland, The Kite Runner, Quantum of Solace). Machine Gun Preacher marks the third collaboration between the composers and the director, who previously worked together on Monster’s Ball and Stay. Lionsgate is planning a release this September.

Aww that pic of G with the little boy makes me ache! Look at G's beautiful manly huge hand holding him so safely and securely and then the beautiful little boy's tiny little hand clutching on to G's clothing. Aww this man needs to know that incredible unconditional love that a father has for his child.I soooo pray that G will find true and lasting happiness. Me too, celtic... Even if Gerry never marries, he should at least make some gorgeous babies...Those wonderful genes of his, should not go to waste.

OMG Will one of you get him in bed FAST. This man has to be a father. That smile is the most honest, easy, full smile I've seen on him in a long time. He needs to pass those wonderful genes on. You need to make little butler's ladies.

www.darkhorizons.com/news/19087?utm_source=twitterfeed&utm_medium=twitterThe Notable Films of 2011: Part Nine By Garth Franklin Machine Gun Preacher Opens: 2011 Cast: Gerard Butler, Michelle Monaghan, Michael Shannon, Madeline Carroll, Kathy Baker Director: Marc Forster Summary: After finding God, drug-dealing biker Sam Childers renounces his outlaw ways and embarks on a spiritual path, becoming a crusader for hundreds of desperate and helpless children who were being forced to become soldiers in war-torn southern Sudan. Analysis: Despite taking the freshly rejuvenated James Bond franchise and nearly destroying it with the very disappointing "Quantum of Solace", German-Swiss filmmaker Marc Forster still has a decent amount of good will left thanks to strong earlier efforts like "Monster's Ball," "Finding Neverland," "Stranger Than Fiction" and "The Kite Runner". Now, in his first film since that Bond outing, Forster returns to serious drama with this true story tale of a biker who became a humanitarian crusader for children in the Sudan. The story itself is fascinating, the born again Sam Childers and his group of freedom fighters have rescued over three hundred children from being forced into becoming members of the Lord's Resistance Army. A character himself, Childers is not what you'd expect a missionary or a humanitarian crusader to be. This evangelical preacher came upon a torso that belong to a child who had stepped on a landmine. Since then he's been on his quest to not only protect these kids but to hunt down Joseph Kony, the head of the LRA. Shot in July in Michigan and South Africa, which stood in for Pennsylvania and areas along the Sudan/Uganda border respectively, this'll be a potentially fascinating adaptation that one hopes will remain faithful to the truth, no matter how rough or zealous a light it might portray the gun-toting, bible carrying Childers in.
