Here is the new trailer for Gulliver's Travels, starring Jack Black, due out December 22, 2010. By the look of the trailer, it appears 20th Century Fox is going for a family-friendly vibe. That's a good thing. If Hollywood did their job right, churches will be able to use the cultural impact of the film (or even merely the promotion of the film) to point to the Christian origins of the story - and thereby get a foot in the door to talk about Christianity.

Church groups should go see this together. :)
ReplyDeleteI think that's a good idea - but even the promotion of the movie will make the name "Gulliver's Travels" a hot topic in the culture. So whether people in the community actually see the movie or not, the church will still have the opportunity to start a conversation about the story and its Christian writer and, hopefully, have that lead to deeper discussions about Christianity.
