The Movie "The Song" Based on a "Sexy" Book of the Bible Opens This Friday

Song of Solomon inspired movie "THE SONG" opens nationwide this Friday. The movie stars Alan Powell of pop band Anthem Lights, Caitlin Nicol-Thomas ("Nashville"), and Ali Faulkner (THE TWILIGHT SAGA: BREAKING DAWN - PART 1). "The Song" is a music-driven romantic drama combining ancient wisdom and a classic love triangle to deliver the most provocative film in Hollywood's "Year of the Bible."
THE SONG follows aspiring singer-songwriter Jed King (Alan Powell) as he struggles to catch a break and escape the long shadow of his father, a country music legend. After reluctantly accepting a gig at a local vineyard harvest festival, Jed is love-struck by the vineyard owner's daughter, Rose (Ali Faulkner), and a romance quickly blooms. Soon after their wedding, Jed writes Rose "The Song," which becomes a breakout hit. Thrust into a life of stardom and a world of temptation in the form of fellow performer Shelby Bale (Caitlin Nicol-Thomas), Jed's life and marriage begin to fall apart. Woven throughout the story is voice-over narration taken from verses in Song of Solomon, Ecclesiastes and Proverbs; metaphorically, the film draws on the life and writings of King Solomon, thought to be one of the wisest men in history, and known for his book on love and intimacy.
The film has been screened for more than 10,000 pastors and church leaders over the course of the summer. And it has received nothing but praise. Here is a snapshot of what critics are saying:
"THE SONG has a great message on priorities, communication, faith and redemption." - Jeff Foxworthy
"THE SONG's music will stick with you, as will the message. Go see this important film." - John Howard, Duck Commander
"A real interpretation of life on the road, and a STAR performance from Alan Powell - THE SONG is not your glossy Christian movie." - Chuck Howard, Multi-platinum, award-winning music producer/songwriter who created hits for country stars LeAnn Rimes, Trick Pony, and others
"This is not a typical Christian film. It is a raw portrayal of tragic choices while at the same time offering hope of redemption." -Michael Catt, Pastor, Sherwood Baptist Church
Additionally, an extensive line of curriculum resources are available to further the experience and become a catalyst for strengthening marriage. Executive Producer of THE SONG and Teaching Pastor of America's fourth largest church, Southeast Christian Church in Louisville, KY, Kyle Idleman hopes the film will generate honest conversations about topics often avoided in ministry settings.
"I think the church often hides under the covers, so to speak, when it comes to the issues of love, sex and marriage, and by doing so popular culture continues to shape how we think about these subjects. It seems like it might be good for [the church] to step back and ask the question, 'How's that workin' out for us?'" says Idleman.
