The Christian Producer of X-Men - an Interview with Ralph Winter on Being a Believer in Hollywood"I have been placed in this job for a purpose, and I am just trying to make great movies and keep my eyes on Him. I don't deserve any praise. Remember that I am a history major from Berkeley. It is definitely all God's hand that I get to do this."
Reporting for Beliefnet.com, Kris Rasmussen interviewed acclaimed Hollywood producer, and Christian, Ralph Winter. Winter talks about his latest film X-Men 3: The Last Stand, and why he took on producing the trilogy.
Winter's list of productions range from Hollywood blockbusters like, The Fantastic Four, Planet of the Apes, and the X-Men trilogy, to smaller, overtly Christian movies such as, Left Behind, and Peretti's The Visitation. Rasmussen asked Winter about being a Christian in the midst of Hollywood. "I've got a good support system in place," replied Winter. "My wife and a couple of close friends keep me accountable spiritually. I also think living my faith in my job is about the little things I do day in and day out." Winter was also asked about any upcoming projects, and if he is ever weary of being one of the few Christian producers building a "bridge between Hollywood and the Christian community." "I have been trying to develop a film version of C.S. Lewis' book The Screwtape Letters for a while," said Winter. "What's funny is that the film rights to the book were acquired years ago by a studio and nothing has ever been done with them. I had to explain to the studio (which owns the rights) that they might be interested in making this book into a movie because this C.S. Lewis is the same C.S. Lewis who wrote the book for The Chronicles of Narnia: The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe, and that seemed to do okay at the box office." "No. [I don't get weary.] I have been placed in this job for a purpose, and I am just trying to make great movies and keep my eyes on Him. I don't deserve any praise. Remember that I am a history major from Berkeley. It is definitely all God's hand that I get to do this. And who knows how long this will last? He may choose someone else."
