Angelina Jolie Directing Movie about POW Redeemed by Jesus

Teresa Neumann : Dec 5, 2013  Tiffany Brannon – Movieguide

Zamperini's life has garnered so much attention over the years, Laura Hillenbrand, the author of "Seabiscuit," recently published his biography, called "Unbroken," which has just been made into a film by the same name.

After his conversion, Zamperini—now in his 90s—gladly gave up his drinking and deep anger and devoted his live to preaching the Word and sharing the Gospel of Christ's love and redemption. Zamperini's life has garnered so much attention over the years, Laura Hillenbrand, the author of "Seabiscuit," recently published his biography, called "Unbroken," which has just been made into a film by the same name.

Enter Angelina Jolie.

What that might mean is anyone's guess. But considering Zamperini, the charismatic son of Italian immigrants, is a dedicated Christian, there is no doubt he may very well have been placed in Jolie's life for "just a time as this."

Stay tuned for reviews as the film nears completion, and keep praying for the Hollywood movie industry, and it's actors and directors, who need Christ every bit as much as Zamperini needed Him in his darkest hour.
