Machine Gun Preacher (201)
Coriolanus (2011)Machine Gun Preacher, the Mark Forster directed film about a former drug-dealing biker tough guy who found God and became a crusader for hundreds of Sudanese children who’ve been kidnapped and pressed into duty as soldiers in the Lord’s Resistance Army, will begin production next week in Africa before moving to Central City, PA, according to Somerset County Chamber of Commerce representatives.
Gerard Butler is set to take the lead as preacher Sam Childers. Michelle Monaghan will play Childers’ wife, Lynn, and Michael Shannon plays a close friend of Childers who stayed with his wife while he was away in Africa.
Butler, who just finished filming Ralph Fiennes’ directorial debut, Coriolanus, in Belgrade, has been committed to the film since January.
Production Weekly reports that the film will shift the production to Michigan in July.
