Dallas Jenkins Working on New Film with Familiar Faces

We’ve linked and commented on an essay by Dallas Jenkins and the world of Christian movies in the past, and the man was nice enough to respond. It seems that he’s been busy working on a new film called What If, and has started production in Michigan:

Kristy Swanson is officially booked as Wendy, our lead female character. We’re getting quite a cast. Kevin Sorbo plays Ben, the hot-shot investment banker who gets a glimpse of what his life would have looked like had he followed his calling to be a pastor and stay with the right girl. Kristy Swanson plays Wendy, the right girl. John Ratzenberger plays Mike, the angel who gives Ben the glimpse and acts as a guide through the process. And Debby Ryan, big up and coming Disney star from “Suite Life On Deck,” plays Kimberly, the older daughter in Ben’s “alternate life.”

While it looks like it may have quite a “Christmas Carol” feel to it, it’s still fun to see some of those names in the credits. John Ratenberger gave me one of my favorite sitcom moments long before becoming a fixture at Pixar.

And yes, that does mean that Hercules and Buffy are going to be a preacher and his wife — at least in one way or another.
