After seeing the first trailer yesterday for HEAVEN IS FOR REAL, today we’ve got a first clip to share and some brand new stills. Based on the #1 New York Times best-selling book of the same name, 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.
The versatile Greg Kinnear stars as Todd Burpo, a small-town businessman, volunteer firefighter and pastor struggling to make ends meet in a tough year for his family. After his bright young son Colton (newcomer Connor Corum in his feature film debut) is rushed to the hospital for emergency surgery, Todd and his wife Sonja (Kelly Reilly) are overjoyed by his miraculous survival. But they are wholly unprepared for what happens next — Colton starts to matter-of-factly recount what he says was an amazing journey to heaven and back. As Colton innocently tells his parents details of things he couldn’t possibly know, Todd finds himself colliding against a wall of mystery and doubt, until he breaks through to rediscover hope, wonder and the strength of purpose.
TriStar Pictures presents HEAVEN IS FOR REAL, directed by Randall Wallace, the Oscar-nominated writer of BRAVEHEART. The screenplay is by Randall Wallace and Christopher Parker, based on the book by Todd Burpo with Lynn Vincent. Joining Kinnear, Reilly and Corum in the cast are Margo Martindale, Thomas Haden Church, and music by Nick Glennie-Smith.
