The crux challenge of casting TriStar Pictures’ new mystery drama “Heaven Is For Real” was the search for a very special child who could play real-life character, Colton Burpo, with the natural, easy-going innocence that made his story so persuasive.
Right from the start, the filmmakers of TriStar Pictures’ new mystery drama “Heaven is for Real” knew if they were going to bring the best-seller of the same title to contemporary audiences they would need a crack cast to truly bring the Burpo family’s true story and their unusual predicament to life.
Randall Wallace, the Oscar®-nominated writer of “Braveheart” now directs TriStar Pictures’ mystery film “Heaven Is For Real” which is based on a non-fiction book that has inspired millions across the globe.
In 2010, a book by an unknown author – fueled entirely by word-of-mouth and the fiery enthusiasm of curious and inspired readers – suddenly and from out of the blue hit the vaunted #1 position on the New York Times best-seller list. This was Todd Burpo with Lynn Vincent’s Heaven Is For Real and it would go on to sell millions of copies with over 10 million in print worldwide and to be translated into 35 languages, while sparking lively conversations about the nature of life, faith and eternity among families and communities everywhere.
Based on the #1 New York Times best-selling book of the same name, TriStar Pictures’ new drama “Heaven Is For Real” brings to the screen the true story that has inspired millions across the globe – that of a little boy’s extraordinary, life-changing experience, and his father’s search for the courage and conviction to share his son’s discovery with the world.
Inspired by the #1 New York Times best-selling book of the same title, Columbia Pictures’ faith-based family drama “Heaven is for Real” has just revealed its teaser trailer online which may be viewed at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bJxCK8fifyI.
