Cloud Ten Pictures has decided to reboot its LEFT BEHIND film series, which are based on Tim LaHaye and Jerry Jenkins' popular novel series, reports Heat Vision. Cloud Ten Pictures' head Paul Lalonde and John Patus have written a script for the remake and are pitching it at the American Film Market. Cloud Ten hopes to make the new film for $15 million, making it one of the most expensive faith-based indie ever made.
The story follows the survivors of the Rapture, the Biblical moment when God takes the 4,400 truly faithful left on the Earth up to heaven in preparation for the end of the world.

...Probably good to add that there are an awful lot of evangelical Christians who don't believe in a "rapture" event. This whole bit of "latter days" theory is based on a handful of Bible verses, but it's popular as fodder for dramatic scenarios.
The writer of the article is getting his religious info mixed up with Spielbergian mythology.
Evangelical Christians who hold to a belief in the Rapture do NOT believe there is a limited number who are yanked up to Heaven... According to Eschatological theory, anyone with faith in Christ at the time of that event is taken from Earth.
"The 4400" was a science fiction series created for television - about alien abductees. :-)
Jehovah's Witnesses DO hold that 144,000 will be "saved" ultimately for their Kingdom. But they are not Evangelicals. Not sure what they're doing with this number now that their numbers have swollen into the tens of millions.
