A mention of MGP in a Variety article about Cannes www.variety.com/article/VR1118018446.html?categoryid=19&cs=1Sales prospects for the right kind of project remain strong, says Helen Lee Kim, president, international, at Lionsgate. She points to "Machine Gun Preacher," which has a strong director, Marc Forster, and an international star, Gerard Butler, attached, as well as genre elements, as the kind of film that is selling well. "If the projects have a clear demo in mind and cater to a mainstream audience, then buyers are willing to prebuy," she says.

I looked back at my registration. It looks like they don't submit you unless you pay the fee. I refuse to give card info when you are ggetting a 7 day free trial!! That sucks cause you know the film pays them a fee.

Marc Forster’s MACHINE GUN PREACHER Starts Filming This Summer With Gerard Butler, Michelle Monaghan, and Michael Shannon Set to Starby Laura Kelley Posted:May 8th, 2010 at 8:38 am Marc Forster’s drama Machine Gun Preacher has finally gotten its start date as well as some new co-stars. Gerard Butler was already set to star as Sam Childers, a biker and drug dealer who found religion and fought against rebels in Uganda and the Sudan who kidnapped kids and forced them into lives of sex slavery or turned them into child soldiers. According to Deadline, Lionsgate and Mandate International will distribute the film, and shooting will begin sometime this summer. Michelle Monaghan will co-star as Sam Childers’ wife Lynn, who stays behind in Detroit while her husband goes to Africa to build an orphanage. Michael Shannon is reportedly in talks to play a friend of Childers. Marc Forster, Gary Safady, Craig Chapman, Robbie Brenner and Debora Giarranta will produce based on Jason Keller’s script, which is based on Sam Childers’ memoir. Michelle Monaghan can next be seen in Sofia Coppola’s next film Somewhere and in Todd Phillips’ Due Date.

I am so excited about this movie I could burst. I'm really not familiar with Marc Foster's work but I hope he can honestly portray all facets of Sam Childer's life and work.
People can say that you don't have to be a Christian to do good works such as this but human nature is such that we look out for our own. Often times someone needs a reason outside them selves to put themselves in danger for strangers and oftentimes that comes from a belief in a higher power who gives one strength.
