Joseph Max Lewis announces a Movie Deal for his Thriller Novel "Diaries of Pontius Pilate"!

Friends, I’ve got big news. In 2014 the Christian movie "God’s Not Dead" amazed people by shooting almost to the top of the box office during its opening weeks. Made for about 1 million dollars, "GND" grossed over 100 million dollars the last time I checked. Opening April 1, 2016, "God’s Not Dead 2" is if anything, even better. Check out this link for a very cool preview and forward this mail to your friends:

For the last 11 months I’ve been in discussions with the co-producers, co-writers, and in my layman’s opinion, driving creative force behind God’s Not Dead and God’s Not Dead 2, Chuck Konzelman and Cary Solomon of Believe Entertainment. They thought my first novel, The Diaries of Pontius Pilate, would make a great movie. Check out this link for a description and reviews of "Diaries":

In February we reached a verbal understanding and on March 24, 2016, we exchanged "Comfort Letters" or letters of intent memorializing our agreement in principle for the film rights to The Diaries of Pontius Pilate.

When I asked Believe for permission to announce, Cary mailed back and said to tell you, "we bought Diaries and are excited about it and want to make it."

Chuck Konzelman and Cary Solomon are writing partners, producers, and directors in Los Angeles, California. Together they have over 45 years of experience working in Hollywood. In 2006, they moved over to the Christian Movie Industry, where they wrote and co-produced "God’s Not Dead 2," "God’s Not Dead," "Do you believe?," "The Book of Daniel", "Finding Normal" (TV movie), and "What If…" Other writing credits include "Point Blank," "Race Against Time" (TV movie.), "The Insatiable" and "The Dollhouse." Mr. Solomon is married with a wife and a son. Both live in Los Angeles.

"But God hath chosen the foolish things of the world to confound the wise; and God hath chosen the weak things of the world to confound the things which are mighty;" 1 Corinthians 1:27

Thanks for playing along,
