Like the book, the film is about a man who goes to Hell and back but in the end finds redemption. Popular faith-based director Tim Chey (“Freedom”) will direct the film.
"My hope and prayer, is this film scares people out of Hell, not scares the Hell out of people," Chey said in a statement.
The movie will show that Hell is populated by real people such as Hitler, Nero, the Zodiac killer, and others, but that Jesus Christ can save anyone from the grasp of the enemy.
"The film is very uplifting in the end," Chey said. "We have a happy ending compared to Bunyan's version. But we show Hell in all its darkness and hopefully will make people think of a literal biblical Hell."
VGC Productions, who produced the film, sought to raise $10 million in advertising funds to reach 2,000 theaters nationwide for an April 2021 release.
"Hell is real," Chey declared. "And as CH Spurgeon said, ‘Hell is filled with many who were almost saved and he also said, more importantly, ‘If Hell must be filled, at least let it be filled in the teeth of our exertions, and let not one go there unwarned and unprayed for.'"
